I've lived in Dallas nigh on six years. Can give anybody willing to read my insight on it from an Australian point of view.

I'm guessing if your from the london area, Houston would not be your kind of city, me being a from a sleepy seaside town found Dallas to be a complete cultre shock, but I think I have adjusted pretty well and I feel completley at ease with my surroundings.

I'm a Brit who lives in Austin. Been here four years now and love it. I lived in Dallas previously and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. The wife is from Houston and we visit often, and if you know where to go you can have a great time. One thing I can tell you for sure, is that Dallas, Houston and Austin are completely different cities. Austin in particular, is hardly Texan at all. Email me privately if you want more info!

Did you read about the 1.89bn short fall in the public pension fund?
The make up for that has to come from somewhere, probably the tax payer, increase in water rates and an increase in cost of parking tickets fines etc.

I would classify myself as a free thinker rather than a collective thought thinker.
My wife is an Texan and she feels the way I do there just seems to be a restictive way of thinking or doing things here. Also in Houston there are a lot of careless drivers, downtown Houston is dead after 7pm
