Answer 1 :
why would you want to move to the most biased, close minded state next to Alabama?
Answer 2 :
my sister lives in Plano Texas, and when ive visited it was very nice all i just got to say is there is just rows and rows and rows of houses! you could get lost but if you have children very good plenty of schools and plenty of children to play with theres plenty of shops, and its near Dallas too! (:
Answer 3 :
i would say Austin cause there's a lot to do but it also depends on how much money you have to spend Austin is some what not that cheap
Answer 4 :
I have lived in TX for 25 out of my 29 years of life. The Austin/Round Rock area would be awesome to live in because it offers so many day trips but it is expensive. I have lived in Dallas,Mesquite,Grand Prairie,Arlington,Cedar Hill, and Garland. Denton is a nice college town with affordable housing, decent schools, low crime rate considering near by cities. The down fall to Denton is the job market. It is a 45min. drive (with speeding) to Dallas so it is an awful commute, especially if there is a wreck on the Lewisville bridge. Garland is a big city in its self. It is an easy commute to down town but depending on where you live in Garland depends on the crime rate. Garland schools are ok but if your child has a learning difficulty they hate to do testing. I liked living in Grand Prairie. Make sure if you live in grand Prairie it is off of 20 and not I-30. South Grand Prairie and Arlington are better than the Northern part. There are nice areas off of 360 S. close to Sublett. Joe Pool Lake is also over there and Grand Prairie residents get in for free. I live in Cedar Hill near the state park and it has some good areas. If you want good schools, low crime rate and affordable housing I would look into Midlothian. Midlothian is off of 67 S. and not a bad commute from Dallas, quiet area and cheap housing. It is more industrial so it has more factory jobs, so you will most likely have to commute to Dallas. I graduated from North Mesquite in 1999 and I swear the same construction work is being done. I would stay away from Mesquite.
Answer 5 :
Plano is a very nice city. Large but friendly. Crime rate is low to moderate. Garland on the other hand, is a lot different. They city has been on the urge to attract people but forget the people that already live in Garland. Garland Power & Light sucks. High rates and terrible billing department. Garland Police is nothing but young idiots who think they are above everyone else and treat the citizens they are there to serve & protect like shit. Crime rate in Garland is moderate to high.
