Thanks for the video. I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I moved to US two years ago. My girlfriend is from Austin and I loved visiting the city and feeling some of the southern culture which is somewhat similar to what we have in South America (in some aspects). This is a good video to compare a big city like Dallas and a a smaller city like Austin.
Moved from WA state to an area 1.5 hrs SW of Dallas in August 2022. I think what you say in your video is very accurate. We love the Dallas area (the Metroplex) for all the stereotypes you mention!! You are speaking of two bigger cities but if you move to the country like we did, you must be tough. The erratic weather, the heat and cold, the bugs, the wind, and just a harsher experience is not for everyone. These factors also apply somewhat to Dallas.
I feel like Austin really needs loops like Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Too many people in a small area makes driving through Austin a burden whenever I need to go to Dallas and don't want to fly
I am literally moving from NJ to TX right now and currently staying in Nashville, TN. I am still torn between Austin and Dallas, but after watching your video and I am leaning a bit more towards Dallas (one of main reasons is that I think drivers in blue states like California, New Jersey are a bit more disrespectful, reckless sometimes and expect the same thing will happen in Austin). And one time I visited Dallas, those grandpas at an RV rental shop were so heart warming and fun. I think I will check out Austin by staying for a week and move on to Dallas then. Thank you for your video!
@@touristsoul2750 I think the weather is better and it is a better place for outdoor sports. Definitely feels younger vibes too I guess because of the Vanderbilt university. Traffic is a bit slower so that is good too. I just came to Dallas just because I am from Korea and there are more Asian cultures here. I guess there are some Asian things to enjoy in Nashville as well, but it is not a lot for sure. Another thing I loved was Nashville hot chicken. Here in Dallas there are some franchises, but it is not comparable to Nashville tho. My personal favorite was Pepperfire. And the American food cultures in Nashville seem to well cover the east coast to the mid and a bit of southern states, like Halal food in NYC, Jambalaya or crawfish in Louisiana style, nashville hot chicken and Tennessee style bbq. I stayed in a renovated barn style’s Airbnb and I guess there will be many good places to go in countryside too, like 20-30 miles away from the city center.
I have a question of curiosity. Everyone speaks of Texas being so affordable because there is no State income tax. Do you think that savings is nullified by your property taxes and utility costs because of your extreme weather? Just curious.
It depends where you're comparing to. The property tax rate is higher than other states, but the property values are lower so your gross tax bill can still be lower for the same size house. A lot of people will compare CA to TX. A house in LA or SF will probably cost at lease 3x as much as a comparable property in Austin or Dallas, while the tax rate is only about 1/2 compare to TX cities meaning your tax bill is still higher. Also factor in that there are many more places in Texas that have good public school systems compared to CA, so you can save more money avoiding private schools.
Well, DFW is rather blue as well. Different vibe than Austin, but not a "red" metro. The large urban areas in the state are definitely liberal leaning. The smaller metros, small towns and rural areas are the "red" places, maybe some of the exurbs on the urban fringes, also, but the population increases are in the bluer areas.
@@gregorysouthworth783DFW isn’t blue, only dallas county (city) is, The suburbs are all red which gets the population increase. Austin suburbs are alot more liberal than dallas suburbs.
@@aimxdy8680 The real shift is in the older suburbs: Arlington, Richardson, Garland, Grand Prairie, etc. They are shifting as the population shifts. It's been a slower process than Austin, but it's happening all the same. Look at Fort Worth which can safely be said to be purple, but many of the millennial voters moving there are blue. Projecting forward tells the story. However, I personally think the old red/blue divide is in its last days. It may survive the decade, but I think something different may be on the horizon across the nation. It is ill-defined at the moment, but it may become more defined as time progresses.
Not easy to answer because are you talking about Dallas and its immediate suburbs or the whole DFW area? The area is blue generally, and getting bluer. The large urban areas of the state are typically more liberal than the smaller metros, small towns, and rural areas.
Dallas and Fort Worth have art scenes that rival Chgo, SF, LA and NYC. The Dallas Symphony is world class and the envy of serious patrons of classical music across the U.S. KImbell Art Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Nasher Sculpture Center have no peer in Texas (except the Houston MFA and the DeMenil in Houston). These museums approach NYC, Chgo or LA standards (some say exceed). Austin is not even in the picture for world class art The Dallas Art Fair is the leading attraction for the art world in Texas. Every April, the art crowd from around the world decends on Dallas (Austin may be the only one that thinks it is an art town).

What about salaries?
What about weather?
Two huge ones!

Very through analogy.
where was the picture in 12:01 taken? looks like a nice rolling hills area to hike in.

I would love to know your thoughts on Nashville. I have been considering leaving Dallas to go to Nashville.

Curious - where did you end up? Dallas or Austin? :)
@@rockabs4 I ended up in Dallas.

All Texan cities are liberal btw
@@mq827Not like Austin. Other Texas cities are over 50% liberal, but Austin is over 100% lol JK

What you think of Kyle tx?? Few friends have move to that area and I’m very curious
I used to live close to Kyle. Do it there or New Braunsfel 2 great areas.
Am a maintenance industrial manufacturing Houston is recommended to me by the way what about hurricanes?
Is Dallas more conservative than Houston?
yes
When you say conservative, don't imagine all in republican, but as he mentioned more balanced. I just hope it will stay that way..
@@hahahaha7023FACTS
More Joe Biden and less Bernie Sanders if that makes sense

FUNKYTOWN,AKA FORT WORTH
Austin has better food.
Dallas and Fort Worth have art scenes that rival Chgo, SF, LA and NYC. The Dallas Symphony is world class and the envy of serious patrons of classical music across the U.S.
KImbell Art Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Nasher Sculpture Center have no peer in Texas (except the Houston MFA and the DeMenil in Houston). These museums approach NYC, Chgo or LA standards (some say exceed). Austin is not even in the picture for world class art
The Dallas Art Fair is the leading attraction for the art world in Texas. Every April, the art crowd from around the world decends on Dallas (Austin may be the only one that thinks it is an art town).
