Ahhhhhhhhhh, LMAO you poor bastards!
Do what I did, get out of there.
I grew up in Keller, and in North Richland Hills until I was about 8.Graduated from UTA in 2001, lived in Arlington (aka, DFW's armpit) for most of that time.
Moved to Chicago on a whim with a friend who was coming here anyways by himself, and this is a fantastic city that blows away anything in DFW.
I have no car. I take the subway to work. I live 5 miles from downtown. A lake that you can bike along, go to the beach, and it practically feels like you're at the ocean.
The winters are tough, but I would rather have that than Texas summers.So, my only advice is, move to Austin and the Hill Country, and slow your life down, or move out of state. I am a Texan for life, it's in my blood, I love the state and will hopefully live in Austin and the Hill Country at some point in the future.
But after I had lived in Chicago for a while, it really sunk in. All the driving around, highways, parking lots, traffic, highway construction, man it was nice to have left that behind.I've also been extremely happy to not live around that attitude anymore. You know, the way people are in the DFW area - always trying to look cool to people they don't know, all the people driving their cars fast (whether they're tiny, two cylinder imports that they think are NSX's, or Camaros, Corvettes, FireBirds, etc.) to show off, or the gas guzzling SUV set...I am so glad to not live around that anymore.
My condolances!! Now MOVE!
