A bit too hot, a bit too conservative, a bit too c - 7/6/2009
I moved to Fort Worth from Wisconsin in search of a warmer winter and a comfortable life. I've gotten the warmer winter, but I don't dig the lifestyle here very much. It's too country and conservative for my blood. I'm from Madison, a relatively liberal city, so coming to Fort Worth was quite the culture shock. I like Fort Worth's downtown area. I think it's very nice and clean. The Stockyards is a cute novelty at first, but gets old after a while, especially if you aren't into cowboys and country music (I'm not). The city has some beautiful neighborhoods, but it also has some terrible neighborhoods, and they aren't separated by much. Climate change is causing the summers to be hotter and drier than ever. It's not very scenic anywhere. The people who are so in love with Texas drive me crazy, but probably not as much as the evangelical Christians that are everywhere thumping their bibles or the arrogant men wearing their Wranglers, chewing their tobacco and driving their SUVs

Transportation - 12/23/2008
If you live in Dallas, the transportation is ok. They need to expand the light rail to Ft Worth, because the transportation in Ft Worth and every community surrounding Dallas is less than desirable. They need better ways to get between Ft Worth and Dallas because driving is a

Too Hot Too Long - 10/21/2008
I love warm weather, but it stays too hot, too long. You cant go outside without breaking a sweat, and running air conditioners night and day is very costly. The utilities are very high out

Friendly Fort Worth - 10/15/2008
Hi, I live in the North part of Fort Worth, just 9 miles north of Downtown. I LOVE Fort Worth, alhough I'm from Louisiana and miss many things from my hometown, next door to New Orleans. The City of Fort Worth is warm, friendly and kind. I call it "Friendly Fort Worth". On a scale 1 (bad) to 10 (Great) considering those assets I mentioned, I would say it's a 8. I lived in Houston for 9 yrs before Fort Worth and it wasn't a city for me, had nothing to do with traffic. I have NO problem with traffic or big city. Fort Worth is like a City that is still like a Country in many ways with the spread out land, parks, traditions etc. I believe it should be given A LOT more Credit as a City for it's housing is inexpensive and the Job Market is GOOD! A Single person can have a house here for the apartments rent is almost as much as a house's mortgage. It's VERY Possible to have 'The American Dream' in Fort Worth still today in late 2008, with all the financial problems with the US economy and

Can't beat cost of living but the summers are horr - 8/3/2008
I've compared so many city on Sperling's, trying to find a city to move to because the summers in Texas are so brutally hot. Unfortunately, the combination of no state tax, the low cost of housing and a healthier job market from the rest of the country makes Texas (esp. the Dallas/Fort Worth area) one of the best places to live financially. Every summer I wish I was somewhere else, every summer I stay. And winters are very mild, whith only a few realy bad days, so it tries to make up for
