    Here’s the most requested video, my opinion of the top areas to live in.

    Please in your next Dallas update please don't forget to mention the majority-black suburbs in southern Dallas DeSoto Lancaster and Cedar Hill Texas. These suburbs are just as good as the ones up north and you can be around people that look like you

      @labaroncharles1958 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @taelormadex yes it's crazy to me that most of the new people to Dallas never travel to the southern end of Dallas. I hear a lot of people complain when they moved to north Dallas about the lack of black people. People don't understand that Dallas is still basically a segregated City most black people live on the south end of Dallas and the suburbs on that end are black. A lot of rich and well to do black people in these suburbs. I think 90% of the businesses in DeSoto alone are black-owned. It's kind of like a mini Atlanta in that area.

    Addison 15mins from downtown Dallas. On a good day that's not 15mins away. No traffic on the weekend maybe 20mins. On a weekday with traffic that's easily an hour with no accidents. Add an accident, could end up being 1hr 30mins if you work downtown Dallas. Keep in mind the traffic is crazy awful in DFW so look into places not too far from your job
