Worst Towns To Live in Texas
Рет қаралды 614,692
Күн бұрынTexas has seen a boom in its growth in recent years. In 2022, it became the second state in the country to pass 30 million in population, with only California having a greater population. In fact, between 2000 and 2022, 11 of Texas’s 254 counties more than doubled, the entire state gained over 9 million people, and in 2022 alone the population increased by over 470,000!
Yet, despite cities like Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso seeing tremendous amounts of growth, there are some places in Texas that, well, simply aren’t that desirable to live in. Today on Across the Globe we’re going to be looking at the top 10 worst places to live in Texas.

I lived in California for over thirty five years and now live in Texas. I can tell you that the same retail jobs pay $1 5k to $20k more in CA. I also found that services here in TX are more than in CA. Restaurants are more expensive in TX in my experience as well. Property taxes supplement the state having no state tax. Homes that cost $600k four years ago are $950k to $1 M in the North Dallas area. So, unless you move to rural areas, the cost of homes has changed in the last five years. My neighbor bought his home two years before us for half the price. I think people are working with outdated information when it comes to TX being cheap. Not any more. Make sure you do some investment while seating at home.

Dude, there are plenty of homeless in Hidalgo. You just don't see them Cuz there are plenty of brush for them to sleep under. And the fajita Cook off is jot enough to entice people to come here.

I have lived in 14 different cities in eight different states, and have visited many others. Austin has the very worst traffic. I have driven on the 405, in SoCal, during rush hour, and it flowed more smoothly than Austin traffic. Austin is also flamingly Leftist, so chances are you won't be happy there, unless you're a Commie. Great music scene though.

What makes the RGV rank so low is the proximity to the border, and all the issues that come with that’s, health care is the pits, I worked in that industry over 20 years 15 of them in the mid valley, grew up in Brownsville but had to leave, best choice I made back in 2004, moved to Harlingen mid valley area had some potential, but typical valley style growth, and the allure to bring innovative industries to the RGV never took off, so like any other valley city, if you don’t work in Politics, Healthcare, Law enforcement, or Education there isn’t any other other major industry where one can work and thrive. The lower RGV is also one of the lowest incomes levels in the country, and has the highest recipients of Medicaid and other gov subsidies. As compared to other metro areas in the state minimum wage is still around 7.75 to 8.00 starting,

Well I'm in the RGV also. It's nice here but, property taxes are very high and it's very hot here. High 90s to 116 or so. Hard to do things out in that hot weather. It's easy to move around, we have some very nice roads here. Car prices here tend to be higher. I think that is due to a monopoly on the business. I think they could combine several towns like McAllen, Mission, Alton, Edinburgh and a few more into one city. These towns are all continguous. It's not bad here. We have everything any other city has and a lot more peaceful than many other cities.

Dallas, Arlington, Fort Worth... 3 distinctively separate cities, each with their own mayor, political, and voter base, are all part of the D/FW area spanning across multiple counties. All three have a plethora of entertainment, commerce, and residential options for each tax bracket despite cost of living differences. Arlington is in Tarrant County. Dallas is in the neighboring Dallas County. Yet the official stadium for the Dallas Cowboys is in Arlington. But that does not make them the same city.

There are a ton of stores filled with merchandise, a ton of mom and pop businesses, a ton of infrastructure growth... freeways, stores, houses.

I do not care what people say I love Lubbock. However the part about us being one of the most boring places, is highly accurate. There is nothing to do here except eat out at restaurants😂. You won't see me complain however, because I would much rather live in a boring City with good roads and low traffic, than live in a city like Dalles or Austin where it will take you twice the time to drive where you need to go due to tourists, than it would here. Also I feel that it is important to note that what was said about our weather is very over exaggerated. I have been in college in Oklahoma City for the last year and they have much worse weather. I doubt think we had a single tornado last year in Lubbock, but we had three or four last year in Oklahoma city, and I was told by those who live in Oklahoma that tornados are a regular occurrence. That is not the case for Lubbock; we seldom get tornados. Our thunderstorms are also not as bad as this video would have you believe.

From this Texans POV, half of the cities on this list are on the US/Mexico border. I'll give anyone 3 guesses why those particular cities are not the most ideal locations to move to. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to many, the Mexican cartels operate the border on both sides and have for many years. Hopefully, when a border wall is fully implemented, we will see substantial imprivements. That is whst we anticipate anyhow. Yes, Lubbock is boring. It sits practucallybon the middle of the state. It is a college town and the closest larger cities are Amarillo & Abikene, both which are just as boring as Lubbock. Arlington surprised me as it is home to the Texas Rangers and the Cowboys. Also, Six Flags abd Hurricane Harbor (formerly Wet n' Wild). But even more than this, Arlington is the central point fir Dallas/Ft Worth which makes everything accessible depending on which way one goes. Dallas/Ft Worth surprised me not because of cost of living but because anything and everything one could wish to do is somewhere around here. What truly makes things horrible, especially here in DFW is traffic! Too many people moving here too fast. I know it's a great state but if people continue to move here at this rate, we won't be for long.
