Review of Dallas, Texas

---

It's been a rough 2 1/2 years...

- 7/2/2017
We moved to Dallas 2 1/2 years ago, and it has been a very difficult adjustment. We came from San Diego, California. Dallas is the land of fast food restaurants and shopping. We miss the ocean and having outdoor activities. It's very hard to stay active here unless you just spend all of your time at indoor gyms. There isn't any scenery or nature to enjoy. The people here are mainly focused on making money and buying stuff. The people have not been very friendly. Polite, yes... but friendly, no. It's filled with cliques here and the people are narrow-minded and self-centered. They snub you and think they're better than you. We are pretty well-off financially, but we don't like to show it. The people here have treated us very differently once they get the idea that we actually "have money". We are looking into doing a job transfer to a beach city. Please be warned that it is very hard to get settled here and that the extreme materialism influence is very strong and it's hard to get settled into meaningful friendships in Dallas. You will be judged harshly on every superficial level.
