Lubbock, Texas Not so Safe! - 6/25/2015
Sad to learn how dangerous this West Texas town has become. Completely, over taken with Down trodden people who have little. Burglaries happen hourly at a ridiculous rate committed mostly by druggies. Crime on the street throughout this town is increasingly rapid. Constant sirens from police to ambulance drivers racing to countless victims of this heartless community of ppl. Without the university this town would go up in flames! The university brings money and for the most part decent people to town. When locals are asked if this is a safe town they say yes, it is probably safer here than other places. When statistics and rankings are quoted their surprised? Statewide lubbock ranks top of the most dangerous cities in Texas beating Houston and Dallas. Parents looking at TTU need to become aware of the risks. This is the only place I have ever lived that has permanent signs throughout the city for hiring police officers. Groceries are higher than other places in Texas. Only one

Born and Raised in Lubbock - 3/20/2015
I was born and raised in Lubbock. More or less,I spent about 30 years of my life there. I will start with the positive. It is a well established and well built city with all the amenities and infrastructure of a regional hub,but it is surrounded by a vast and rural agricultural landscape. This makes for clean air,no pollution and really nice people that possess the friendliness of rural oriented folks. The city is built in an easy to understand grid style with very wide streets. It is one of the easiest cities to get around in. Traffic jams are extremely rare and it is simple to walk out of your house,get in your car and be at work in about 15-20 minutes. Suburbs in the traditional sense dont exist and that is another positive. The other great thing about Lubbock is the fact that the cost of living is very low. It is easy to buy a beautiful home in a high end part of town for next to nothing. Property taxes are low as are utilities. While the wages for jobs in Lubbock are not high,you

Good city to live in - 10/13/2014
I've lived in Lubbock for over eleven years. To a tourist Lubbock is one of the worst places to travel, one would say it is, boring, hot, and has a desert-like climate. but for someone who has lived here for over a decade, it's not that bad. The weather sometimes gets cold, which is useful but mainly, the city is small, so you can find your way around easily. Lubbock is a great place to live in.

It's a give and take place - 9/16/2013
Lubbock can be compared to an old shirt. It is not pretty nor glamorous, but it is comfortable and missed when gone. As a kid graduating from High School- I swore never to come back. But somehow, I keep going back.
Lubbock is a kick-back city that is short on formality and very casual on conversation. The man talking with you over coffee at McDonald's may be a Multimillionaire or a Heart Surgeon and you will never know it. People with big heads will be deflated quickly- But don't take it personally, it's all in good fun.
The sidewalks are rolled up promptly at 9:00 PM unless it is a game night. The weather is mild and the evenings pleasant during the brutal summer. The churches have a social influence, but they are not oppressive, nor does anyone particularly care about your lifestyle. "To each his own" is a common saying among Lubbockites.
The food is superb and the events, even if not your style, can be interesting. The Educational systems
