Last one to prove my North Texas sucks to raise your family

[bparker]

I wish you luck as Montana would be a nice choice for anyone. However, I was born and raised here in the DFW area and all of the example you list were from Fort Worth in which everyone knows has been pretty much over run by mexicans. You can acutally buy a house in FtW for around 15k.

Now, you bring up Arlington where you have lived and I do understand you establishing your "roots" there. And I dont mean to be mean but on my nice-0-meter on a scale of 1 - 10 Arlington would have never ranked above a 3 compared to many nice areas here in DFW.

Furthermore, Arlington is known by all in DFW to be the Topless Bar and prostitution capital of DFW. There are more topless bars and 100% nude bars in Arlington than any other place in ALL of Dallas and FortWorth combined.

I know its probably hard to come to the realization that you as a possibly quality family needs to get out of your area, but by all means that is not the same reflection on the entire part of Nort Texas as you have stated. Not even North Dallas as to my knowlege Arlington is considered to be part of the "Mid Cities" area of Dallas and it is not part of "North Dallas" such as Carollton, Plano, Frisco, Lewisville, Mckinney, Allen just to name a few that have very low crime rates but yes on occasion crime does happen.

Montana would be nice, but I think if you need/want to stay just have a look further north than you are now and you will find some very quality cities in which to live a nice peacful safe life and rest well about your childrens educaiton.

Not leave. But that is what we are left with. Yes it is that bad over here. Plano is not wonderful anymore. I did say in the heading of this email this is the last one. No need to tell me to stop crying because I told you I would in the heading. As far as standing up for the community, f this community. My family is not worth any one of these pieces of crap that are moving in and doing this.

That is what happens in the US. The crime element moves in and the good people that can afford it move out. The government only gives me the right to protect my home.property. Not fight for my city. I do have a cc license.


I just want a better life for my family. Montana, it looks like I am on my way.

I'm a little surprised about the Ft. Worth data. I go out to dinner downtown and in several surrounding areas almost every night and I haven't run into a crappy area. I'm not saying they don't exist, but you'd never notice it firsthand. You just read this stuff in the paper. I'm not from here, dont' live here, but I spend a TON of time in Ft. Worth. Almost everyone I work with is from Ft. Worth and they all seem to love it. The do have the chip on their shoulder where they feel they're overshadowed by Dallas. But they all seem to be very proud of their community.

No. Fort Worth is Awesome to go to for dinner, night life. You are 100% right. Just don't venture off your direct routes because it is pretty bad.

It really is not day to day. It is just trending that way. Going to the grocery store is not what it was even 2 years ago. The hood rats riding bycicles in your neighborhood casing the places because you know they do not live in close vicinity. The mall is just a joke. Best Buy. Circuit City. Our window was busted out a year ago and we lost the headrest tv's along with a crowbar to the 6 disc stereo. Our neighbors Horse trailer was getting packed for a weekend Barrel race extravaganza only to come out and it (the trailer) was on blocks.

I found 35 acres in MT but I am not sold on that much cold. I can handle a harsh winter but my nipples would be pebbles all of the time. That may be cool if the women there don't look like Smokey the Bear. $79,000 check out the pics

Yes, there is still a part of the "old town" and "community" that still adheres to the "old days" of the "western" way of life that they are struggling hard to hold on to. While I do admire this, I still watch in agony they council members make really bad mistakes in regards to zoning and other city responsibilities that would keep the bad elements out.

Sadly, they haven?t and its been overrun by Mexicans and welfare degenerates that life a lifestyle of hoodlumism and its hurt the city badly. Crime is terrible there; as you may recall a large segment of the "Cops" TV show series was devoted to Ft Worth.

I just wanted to defend the rest of DFW as there are many VERY impressive places to live that are still quite affordable and safe which attract many people that are coming from FL, NY and CA due to the real-estate corrections.

If you get the time, please visit Frisco and Plano. Plano was voted the nicest city in the USA like 5 years in a row to live back in the early 2000s. And Frisco is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation right now.

In any case, GL with where ever you end up but things arent so bad if you will have a look in a few other areas.

lol it is quite convienient for those that want to frequent those attrations but I sure they heck dont want to live around them. As you know, where there are neked girls there is drugs and prositutes and pimps and then comes the guns and the minion gang members running a muck killing people for initiation to a gang.

Not for me,

There's no way that's an attack dog. His big old face is too cute.

Move here. It's always ranked as one of the safest big cities in America and one of the top 10 to live in for 2006. It also ranks as one of the highest in literacy.

We have about 100k less people, but only had 19 murders.

Plus, if you count the 7 cities all around the water here, there's over 1.6 million peeps.

I'll give you a hand moving the sofa.

Almost forgot, you can visit your relatives in about 7-8 hours by taking one highway.

Man I am north. Not Denton North but I am in the Southlake/Colleyville/Keller area. Arlington was the destination of choice in the 80's. Now it is a Poop hole. That is what I am worried about for our area. It was noce in the 90's and early ots but is slowly turning into the poop hole. I think it is the Mexicans from Mexico and the border jumpers from louisiana have just really sped up the process. I am open to ideas on where to move. We bought 35 acres in east texas that we planned on building on but the landscape has gotten darker. There are no jobs in the Sulpher springs area which means the newcomers are on old Uncle Sam's Dime. So we sold.

I am afraid the state I love (because of the outrages numbers of people from lower income moving here by the butt load) is going to be ruined.

So I am looking to the future and while my kids are young I am going to move them. I love Texas, I love Texans, I don't love criminals or capable wellfare recepients.


I plan on moving out of the city but I am concerned about the landscape in 10 years-20 years. That is my worry with Texas.
