SperlingViews - Texas, Texas

I have been here 17 years now and I'm sure my life has been shortened because of it. It is way too hot for man or beast. It is oppressive to say the least. Dry and brown. Cannot wait to leave this god forsaken state. [read more...]

Am in the health industry and am looking to relocate to florida[read more...]

Texas has many positive reasons for people to relocate here. However, I am ready to move to a more beautiful landscape, rolling hills, an area with four seasons, excellent transportation system (no cars necessary to get around the town or city), and affordable living and safe area to walk, run, and have fun. I am seriously looking to move to Atlanta or northern west coast area. Maybe Kentucky. I am interested in cities with populations of over 50,000, diverse group of people, plenty of things to do outdoors and inside, etc. Hopefully I can narrow down my selection of where to move to.[read more...]

I currently live in New Jersey with my 3 children and husband. My husband and I are looking to relocate. I work in healthcare so there wont be any problem with me finding a job. My husband, however, is a different story. I'd like to get feedback from people that actually live in Texas about the job growth. Is there really jobs out there? And I dont mean mcdonalds. He managed the Washington Nationals Stadium environmental crew so something along those line...Warehouse, ect. Also want to know how the schools are. I know nothing about Texas so I dont even know what city we should be looking into. Id like to live near a large city but not in it. What cities do you recommend and why?[read more...]

there are jobs here in Texas, you just have to get off your "entitled" butt and go after them.[read more...]

I have lived in Texas for the past 25years. A lot of people here believe that Texas is the greatest place to live. What fools! 99%of Texas isn't even pretty country. 1% is gorgeous the rest is miserable. It's too hot in the summer and not nearly cold enough in the winter and most of the people are rude. It may have been great once but that was long ago. There are a lot nicer places to live. My greatest wish is when I retire to be singing 'Happiness is Texas in My Rear View Mirror'! This place sucks rice paddy water.[read more...]

Hot weather and creepy people..[read more...]

I have lived in the mid-west, northwest, northeast and Gulf Coast sections of the United States and have travelled extensively. I have resided in Texas for the past 40 years, and for the most part it's been a great experience. Recently I retired to the northeast part of Texas, an area in which I had very little exposure. My mistake. The populace is remarkably clanish and pride themselves on how many family generations have lived in the same area. For that reason, I believe the gene pool has become so narrow that it's just about dry. Come to Texas, enjoy all it has to offer, but somewhere other than northeast Texas. Do a little background work and concentrate on avgs. for education, growth, income, jobs (particularly govt.), crime, and welfare recipients. You'll be amazed.[read more...]

If you like the hot weather and long summers, then you would love Texas. I grew up here in Dallas, TX. Some days it catches me by surprise and I am really enjoying the hot weather. It is really very nice at night if you happen to be somewhere with a breeze after the sun goes down. It makes a double edge sword when it comes to outdoor activities. When there is water involved, it can be very nice but also stifling at the same time. If water is not involved, it can be plain miserable.[read more...]

Do not believe any of the ratings posted recently. They are probably from the church pastor and not from satisfied parents. The school is in total chaos. The juniors and seniors from last year did not have the right classes and credits. Many of the juniors had to attend school this summer to get caught up. The curriculum is terrible and not up to date. The school’s athletic program is in shambles. The former headmaster was caught in unprofessional situations by students. She had to be one of the most unprofessional, uncaring, incompetent school administrators that have ever been in teaching. She has NO certificates in the state of Texas. DO NOT enroll there!!! Home school your child if needed. [read more...]

We are from Katy, TX and deciding whether to relocate (due to my husband's job) to either Kerrville or Boerne (Cordillera Ranch). Which is a better place to live also we have two kids ages 11 and 14. Any comments on schools, community, how people are sociable, etc. Any information would be great.[read more...]

Texas is not the ideal place for everyone, least of all me.We live in a town so boring, the excitement is watching the grass grow. Nothing to do, no place to go withour traveling hundreds of miles. Wind blows in the summer all the time.High utility bills,no jobs ( few like Wal-Mart,Burger King etc) pay minium at best. Its a right to work state so employers can hire slave labor.The restraunts are mediocre at best. Been here 3 years too long.Want to move to Las Vegas!!!![read more...]

The weather in Texas is extreme. The summers are REDICULOUS. It is too hot to handle. Drought is the common theme. Even when it does rain, it onkly takes a few days to get back to drought restrictions.[read more...]

Most part of Texas is just butt ugly and its an armpit of the United State of America. Mostly in the panhandle and a large area in west Texas is just plain and ugly nothing to see. Far east Texas is ok there a lot of Oak and Pine trees which is looks better than the rest of texas. Its so hot and humid here in Texas and its seem like summer is getting longer every year and less rain every year and water is becoming a serious problem here. Nothing really much to do and if you try to do something fun outdoor during the summer you can get sick from the heat. I have live in Arizona, California, and New Mexico and Texas is the worse state I ever live. I am moving back out west maybe to Oregon or Reno Nv where I will be closer to California and Oregon and I just can't wait to move out of Texas and its easy to get tired of living in Texas than all the other state I live in before. I thought that Arizona was bad living in Phoenix but no texas is worse than Arizona. I miss the drier air and the Mountains out west and the blue ocean. I am fixing to move out of Texas very soon.[read more...]
