They get the tax advantages of Nevada but are still close enough to the bay to head over for the weekend and get their man-bun washed and fluffed and then have some ramen at that new place that just opened and is all the rage. |

Idaho would be a good choice. I think Texas is definatly an option. The outskirts of the Dallas suburbs come to mind, specifically west. |

Spey you ever visit where you are in the 80’s? Man it was nice. By the 90’s it was creeping into California East…… |

Z, I moved here due to fond memories from the 70's and 80's. Anyone here live near Dallas? |

I'm a few hours north. Dallas is expanding very rapidly. Some very nice neighborhoods, restaurants and stuff.. if you moved to the Houstonarea you'dbe close da Gulf.. which offers lots more activities.. only a few hours to New Orleans even... |

Spey think Springtown,Weatherford,Breckenridge,Graham,Decatur...........all within a half hour to 45 minutes west of Fort Worth.Small town feel without all the big city bullschit. |

Dallas sounds like farts. |
15. Author: Mr. Jones | Date: Sun, 2/5/2023, 9:33AM EST | |
Dallas has all the restaurants, nightlife and art museums.. So does Ft. WORTH...where I was for 1 yr...
Austin is very cool back in the 90 's too....
No idea about today?
Listen to whistles advice...be close but not smack dab in it. |

Isn't Dallas becoming over run with "progressives" from CA, too? |
17. Author: ZRX1200 | Date: Sun, 2/5/2023, 12:22PM EST | |
Austin is the Portland of the south. It’s character and charm are currently overshadowed by lunatics. |

Frisco is new and super nice. Spendy too. But not technically Dallas county. True west Dallas get you into Carrolton. A nice bedroom community. I live a bit more northwest in Denton County - next to the lake. No income tax here is Texas. Lots of sunny days and some 100+ temps in the summer. Almost never see snow. |

Texas residents please don't hate me, my family goes way back to the Texas Republic, we lived there for eight years and have visited several time since leaving.
Texas is gorgeous, but it has this kind of tacky side it never really shakes. It's also being developed at an alarming rate, fine if you like living in the big city. Chose a great location in the country and a housing development or factory is liable to spring up next door.
Driving is a little on the crazy side, however 70 MPH speed limits (minimus really) are pretty nice for getting someplace in a hurry. |
