    I'm in south Dallas but try to spend as much time out of this place as possible. I'm going to go against the grain and say live as close as you can to where you work, so you don't have to spend ungodly amounts of time in traffic...

    That's why I'm in south Dallas near the airport we fly out of.

    Welcome to DFW. Good to see another member moving here. DFW is like any other big city, good and not so good areas. Since you are moving here you can pick and choose where you want to be. In my experience you live in an area of your preference and in a few years and neighborhood changes so keep an open mind.

    Lots of like minded folks here. I am in IT field myself.

    Welcome

    As you can tell, Texans hate blue state/commie politics - leave anything/everything about blue state politics in your rear view mirror and you'll make lots of friends here.

    Welcome to Texas. Once you wander outside the metroplex Texas is a nice place. Can you tell I don't like big cities even those in Texas. You wouldn't have a friend who would ship crab cakes do you? LOL!

    PS. The best breakfast burritos come from old remodeled gas stations in small towns.

    Welcome to the forum and to Texas.

    Though I grew up in Dallas, I left that traffic mess 30 years ago and despise going there to visit family. But then you coming from DC probably won’t be bothered by the traffic that much.

    AUSTIN
    HOUSTON
    SAN ANTONIO

    Almost all the large metros inTX are becoming more BLUE.

    Austin is a liberal bastion.

    Rural areas are still holding out but we are getting out voted by large metros.

    If I was moving to TX now DFW and HOU would NOT be under consideration.

    The best place to get crab cakes. They occasionally run free ship deals and that is the best time to buy.

    The very sad truth is like the east coast and west coast states, the urban population centers control the political complexion of the state. Texas has had an increasing flood of people from California, New York, Illinois, Oregon and Pennsylvania over the last twenty years.

    The vast majority of those people left those places, because of the cost of living was so high and jobs there were leaving. Texas cities courted big California tech companies and east coast financier operations offering tax abatements and other incentives. Texas is now about 50/50 liberal vs conservative mindset.

    I fully expect Texas to be a sold liberal bastion by 2030, not because old school native Texans lean that way but because we are dying off and are being watered down by the aliens from other states with their "progressive" big city mentality. I pray I am wrong, but I fear I am not.

    Dallas Texas or so
    On the Dallas side of DFW look at Collin, Denton, and maybe Hunt ao Rockwall counties. There are a lot of Dallas workers that commute from there.

    Richardson is landlocked and can't annex more property.
