Who knows about Midland and Odessa (Lubbock, West: property taxes, hospitals, property)

[jcsm]

I am looking for any and all information about Midland and Odessa. Weather, hospitals, doctors, cost of living, etc.. As much detail as possible. What do you know about state and local taxes. How about property taxes?

There is an extensive thread or two on this subject, if you do a search.

I used to live in Lubbock and passed thru Midland-Odessa a time or two. West Tx is flat and not many trees, like west Kansas and Oklahoma or eastern Colorado, the high plains have a beauty all their own and you can see for hundreds of miles. I call it being able to "see tomorow's weather coming" today. You won't need the weather channel, it's out your window and comin' straight out of the Rockies or up from Mexico or the Gulf. Life is a slower pace, the towns are spread out. You'll have dust storms and sometimes the rain and snow fall sideways instead of down. Sometimes the rain is mud! It's a "brown-out" (as in the Arizona deserts) as opposed to a "white-out" in Colorado in the winter. People are usually nice and laid back and talk real slow, don't hurry much and wave to each other on the road.
No state tax, property taxes and cost of living are low.
