    As a conservative Hispanic truck driver. I feel like an outsider here in California. I’ve been thinking of moving myself and family to Waco, Texas. It seems like the perfect place to live. The America that I remember.

      It is certainly a different place than Cali.

      Honestly you'll still get a lot conservative hate in Waco. The school district is bad.

      Conservative Hispanic truck driver? How did your family come here? Bc the America you may remember you just walked into. It's not remotely like it is nowadays

      Most of inner city Waco is blue, it’s the surrounding deep red area that washed it out. Texas has tons of liberals so don’t expect some trumper heaven

    I've been living in Waco for 4 years after living in Austin for 2 years and I definitely miss Austin but not the traffic. But Waco traffic is so slow to respond to a green light. Let's go folks, that light is green!

      I’ve been noticing this trend more so in the last year. More and more drivers are looking down at their phones during red lights.

    Do you know of any homeschooling programs that are out in Waco? Or if there are any Christian/Catholic programs out there in Waco for kids? We have been weighing the idea of a move to Waco on things our kids can do in Waco with learning programs, sports and fun activities for our kids. My kids are 11 and 4. We want to plant some roots and watch our kids grow in one place. Thank you for posting videos about Waco.

    • @HomeGuyWaco
      @HomeGuyWaco  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The last tornado to do damage to Waco was in 1953. The Dallas / Ft Worth area seems to get more tornadoes and hail storms than we do here in Waco. That's not to say we don't have tornado warnings from time to time but in the 17 years I've lived here I do not remember one touching down within 50 miles of Waco.
