We're tired of bleeding hearts, having to deal with the results of their actions (open borders, paying for benefits to illegals, high crime from the same, etc).

Commutes? Depends on where you work. For example, if your job is in the Legacy Corridor, and you live in Plano, it's probably minutes. If you work in downtown, good luck. We have the equivalent of the population of Oregon driving into downtown each day.

You want to move here? Get an apartment in Irving/Las Colinas area. It's centrally located. Then, once you have your job(s), you can decide where you want to live, what type of neighborhood you want to live in, etc. Don't just look at housing prices. Look at hidden costs, such as utilities, HOA dues in some areas, Municipal Utility Districts in others, and rapidly rising property taxes

Don't expect things to be rosy. You and 6 million others want things your way. Ain't gonna happen. You'll love some things, like others, hate others.

However, you'll get what you put into it. People won't bend over backwards to accomodate you, but you'll generally find us friendly and generally tolerant...even to Yankees.
I happen to be one of those Yankees & also a bleeding heart (plus - I live in Minneapolis & despite having a love interest, at one time, who lived right in North Dallas, you couldn't have bought me a house in any part of Texas & convinced me to live there - no offense intended) - & you cracked me up with your post!!! Thanks for the chuckle. It isn't everyone who can plainly say what they think about those bleeding hearts & such & still be somehow slightly endearing.

You made my night... thanks!
