You are not the norm. There is a reason it is a premium to love there. Simple supply and demand as usual. I would also say talk to people that live there. Most seem to love it from my conversations with them.

I don't know a ton of people that live there but a handful of various ethnic backgrounds and many do not know each other and they all say this is much ado about nothing and a non issue with these current stories being published. I was interested to see if this was true and based on their elections this past month it went 70% conservative candidates.

And: "The federal investigations come three years after leaders in the Carroll school system, 30 miles northwest of Dallas, promised and ultimately failed to make sweeping changes to address racism in the district following the release of a video of white high school students chanting the N-word. After the video went viral, dozens of parents, students and recent graduates came forward with stories of racist and anti-LGBTQ harassment at Carroll, a majority-white district that has grown more diverse in recent years."

Yet all those people could afford to live anywhere in the metroplex pretty much and they chose to keep their children in this "supposed" miserable situation. Even the lady who is at the forefront of the story originally published by NBC had to move out of Southlake because she was a deadbeat and didn't pay her bills, yet petitioned to keep her children in this "miserable" school district for years after that.

Sorry but the story doesn't pass the smell test. They also weren't chanting the N-word. They were singing a rap song that used that word. Not saying this is OK but art shows the media has no credibility.

The COUNTRY knows the kind of town it really is.!
My suggestion is you actually research this rather than listen to a biased media. BTW it was recently announced this is the richest city in the US.
