I'd rather move feet first into a wood chipper.

I almost did about 5 years ago when I interviewed with Northrup Grumman there. Their F-16 simulator there was pretty cool. It seemed okay, but nothing grabbed me and said "move down here ASAP!".

If I decide to move to Bushland I'll go to Austin. Dallas? No thanks.

Personally, I like Western Massachusetts. All we deal with is some snow and ice - no killer bees, alligators, hurricanes, or earthquakes, none that you'd actually notice anyway. There are some rattlesnakes hidden away somewhere that no one ever sees, and one person a year seems to get bitten by a bad spider. I think we had a tornado once, though it just seemed like a warm weather Nor'easter. Yes, I have no life. I actually think of these things some days! I'd like to move to a warmer clime eventually, but then I remember the weather, the creepie crawlies, and the 'gators...  Oh, and we only have traffic while UMASS is in sesssion, the best time of year the stude-nuts are gone! |

Personally, I'd like to live somewhere else considering my sinuses blow up every spring and fall like they're doing right now. |

Those are issued at the border. That, and an irrational mental tick to use words like "Ya'll" and "Ifn'ya". |

PASS I'm not fond of the state I live in currently, but I've always hated Texas and would never move there. A few years back a very good friend of mine got a job in Houston, and I harassed him endlessly about it. Ya know, just rubbing some salt in the wound as they say. I visited him several times and afterwords swore up and down it would be a cold day in hell before I'd move to Texas. Lo and behold, a few years go by, a nice job opportunity came up, and I now live just a couple of blocks from my friend I so endlessly teased. And I've never been so damn miserable in my life! Karma is a bitch I guess, ugh. Oh well, I'm high tailing it back out of this state come summer. No damn job is worth it. |

Austin is a great place to visit, but I can't say I'd want to live there. |

It's a north/south rivalry. Everyone I've known who was born/raised in either Houston or Austin can't stand Dallas, and vice versa. I think Austin is quaint, while Houston outright sucks. Dallas is pleasant but the allergies here are killer.

I was raised in DC  So that, combined with having lived for at least two years in every major Texas city, indicates that I have an unbiased and obviously correct viewpoint.  |

You can thank me for not living there and I guarantee you I never will.
I won't tell anyone where the best place to live is because then it would no longer be the best place when a bunch of nitwits moved into it.

I do as a matter of fact, having done some research first-hand while out there last year. Somehow I doubt that costs of both real estate and everyday essentials has miraculously decreased in that time. A shame really. Though if I ever won the lottery I'd be out there in a flash.  |

The whole city smells, it has an awful highway system, there's no zoning, and it has some of the worst urban sprawl in the country. Dallas certainly isn't the best city in the world (there are a ton of places I'd rather live) but it's generally clean, the highway system is much improved, and it's very livable. It doesn't have a ton of personality like Austin, but at least it doesn't have a crappy personality like Houston. |
