- Are you thinking about buying a home in a new city? Maybe one of these cities is the right spot for a new life and maybe some real estate.
Today we look at the 10 Cities everyone is moving to in the United States of America. Relocating is the new normal here in the US.
Before you call a realtor, make sure you do some research. This video should get you started. We talk about real estate and colleges in this video, including one of my favorite colleges, the University of Texas at Arlington.
We have 10 cities in this list that people have been flooding out of or are about to start a mass exodus.
Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?
I have teamed up with HomeAndMoney.com to help you find one that suits your needs.

Hey everyone. I misspoke. I said Trinity College was in SA, which is in Connecticut, and Trinity University is in San Antonio.
SA is in Connecticut? I always learn new stuff from your videos! 😂
@@outbackigloo6489 Hartford, San Antonio, what's the difference?
@@mirzaahmed6589 LOL
It's cool. Everyone in Texas says that San Antonio is the Hartford of Texas.
Why is Grand Rapids city Michigan missing? You used to have it in your top ten and research says its one of the dearest growing in the USA. I do agree with most on the list
I lived in San Diego in the 90s and would never go back. It's very expensive but the real issue is the lack of affordable housing, even for renters. Everyone seems to be turning rentals into AirB&Bs for tourists, which prices out locals who can't afford to buy a house. Homelessness is also on the rise (not compared to PDX, of course).

Hey, thanks bro for taking the time to list them so I don't have to listen and watch the video!
Central Florida is getting way too overcrowded, the cost of living has skyrocketed in the last ten years.😮
@@Electrodexify bruh hurricanes ain’t shit lmfaooo been living in Florida 23 years and people overblow hurricanes like crazy lmfaooo. In the 23 years I’ve lived here there’s only been 3 major hurricanes. Charlie, Irma and Ian. That’s it Lmfaooo
@@Electrodexify bro I’ve seen first hand over 20 hurricanes. Only 3 of being veryyyy serious. Your overblowing it Lmfaooo. We be having hurricane parties 😂
@@Electrodexify that’s one. And 2. Florida does nottttt get hurricanes every year like people think. We get one every like 4/5 years. Before Ian 2 years ago our last one was Irma in 2017. Before that it was like 2013
@@Electrodexify and hot and muggy more like 7 months of the year. Winter is actually. Chilly and cool in Florida. I live in Orlando and from November to early February it gets from 40 to 60 degrees
Even Micky Mouse is being priced out and the gators are living on golf courses because of the rents.😮
My cousins moved to Raleigh in Aug 2019 & I helped them move. That was the 1st & only time I’ve been so far. It’s a beautiful city & I wouldn’t mind moving there
I'm Canadian and have 2 friends living in Cary N.C. which is adjacent to Raleigh. They both love it, say it's a bit cheaper, but easy access to Raleigh as needed. These friends are of differing stages in life too.
@@joywebster2678 that’s really cool to hear! I’m glad they enjoy it👍🏾
I've had a completely different experience living here in Raleigh for the las 3 years. I'm selling my house and leaving it for Florida in a year.
Why?? Thinking of moving to NC
Denver’s median housing is more like $600k, if not more. It’s insanely crowded. Traffic is miserable. The air pollution has gotten so bad and only made worse by fires in the West. Rich people are moving in - middle class people are leaving. BTW, University of Denver (DU) is a big deal.
My vote - Frisco TX! Mind blowing growth in past 10 years
And sucks
I agree facts 💯💯💯
I just recently moved from Columbus, Ohio. We made a killing on our house and moved to Florida for much better weather. I still love my hometown though.
Man these growth rates sounds like hell. An area should grow, but not that fast, that's just a catalyst of a whole boat load of problems.
In my state of VA, most are migrating from northern counties to Richmond and va beach area
I'm coming next lol
True, I live in Va Beach ( I'm from the Northeast) and an influx of people have moved and are still moving here from NOVA and the Northeast, (particularly from NJ, NY, and PA). Also, my friend in real estate said that more people have been moving in from CA recently.
Just about all the cities in Florida have exploded in the past three years. But I think Tampa Bay Florida has exponentially growth. I was really surprised not to see on this list.
You are absolutely right! Living in St Petersburg we hear constantly on the news the Tampa Bay this is the largest growing area in the country. Come on Briggs, I don't know how you miss this one. In fact, I was waiting till the end because I thought you had it at #1. However, it's growing a little too fast for us long time residents. Nothing personal but it's getting a little crazy around here..😂
I moved out of Tampa bay a few years ago. My vehicle was broken into 4x, and had a car stolen. Pedophiles, drugs, crime, hurricanes, rude people.
I'm now in Draper Utah and love it
I live about forty miles north of Austin, TX. People are actually moving north of Austin to the burbs. The areas with housing developments going in are Leander, Liberty Hill, Georgetown , and Jarrell. With it is the infrastructure. Roads, schools both public and private, grocery stores, shopping centers, gas stations, banks, eateries, car washes, and everything else.
When I moved to Gtown just over six years ago, they said within the next ten years that there would be one hundred thousand new homes off Ronald Reagan. That covers Leander, Liberty Hill, and Georgetown. The east side of Georgetown is booming with shopping centers and housing developments everywhere. I live in the NW part of the city, and they have gone crazy out here.That area is also off of Ronald Reagan. We get updates almost weekly about how everyone is leaving Austin and heading north to the burbs.
We have family in RR. Amazing to see all the building going on.
Clicked the like button before I watch the video. As always Biggs thank you
You couldn't pay me enough to live in Phoenix. 115-degree days are just flat-out a NO-GO!
Looking at Phoenix I've got to wonder how in hell do they get water to distribute all over that place. If they are sucking it out of the ground, well, there's bound to be a gigantic sink hole to swallow the whole thing up before too long.
Iived in Raleigh from ages 9-30, it’s a very wonderful area to be, just a bit on the small side with not a ton to and a major lack of pro sports teams, besides the hurricanes. The beach and mountains are a quick day trip.
I now live in the greater Fort Worth area, it’s not as laid back as nc but there’s a ton to do and always something going on in dfw. Not as much natural beauty as nc. The people in dfw are extremely friendly contrary to what outsiders think, also tons of good food
I moved away from San Diego due to cost of living. Good weather. Ridiculous price for everything else.
It's the entire I-35 corridor in Texas. The Killeen-Temple metro is approaching 500k people and growing quickly, but don't live close to Ft Cavazos (new name for Ft. Hood); though, rent and home prices are relatively cheap there if you're willing to deal with drugs and booms from the artillery ranges. Austin was saved for now by voters re-instating the homeless camping ordinance and electing a moderate mayor that brought in state troopers to help with the crime.
Don't move to San Diego. It's trending in the same direction as Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Sadly so true.
America finest city.
Yeah I was shocked Briggs mentioned it as the best place to move to for the second time. Get it wrong once..... but twice?!?!
Just had a life long buddie sell his home here out west and moved to Sanford N.C. bout half way between Raleigh and Charlotte ....He is having a home built there....
Phoenix is not a warm climate, it is a hot climate.
Only Yuma and Death Valley are hotter ☀
Phx is 🔥🔥 yup wait until AUG, SEPT and OCT good lawd!
Any cities on this list from West Virginia? Hello? Is there anyone there? Hello? San Diego is for rich people. Phoenix is EXTREMELY expensive to live now. Greedflation has all the old folks leaving town.
Glad to see none of these cities are near me. I hope those cities see even more people moving to them.
Where do you live? I’m looking to make a move
My motto is "Buy high sell low!"
Ive lived in the following cities just before or during a boom:
Vancouver, B.C. in 70's. LOW rentals both times
Seattle - slight rental problem in 80's
Calgary - 70's boom town. If you live on the westside or west suburbs you are only a hour drive from one of the most beautiful places in the world...its Calgary's playground
Portland, Or. boomtown from the 90's on until 2 yrs ago when crime shot up, murders, riots. The riots involved Black Lives Matter and while they were supported by the urban population, white, people are fleeing in the many thousands now. Turns out that slamming their police force caused a huge increase in crime both property and people, who could have guessed that??!!
L.A. born and raised. Crime and violence while i was growing up. I left in 1971 when i was 19 and have never been back to that hellhole. 2 great aunts and my grandfather moved to L.A. when it was a beautiful paradise - 1920-1950 all down hill after that.
Just FYI, University of Denver is a prestigious private university. Also the University of Colorado has a Denver campus which has their nursing, medical and dental schools. Denver also has Regis University and Metro State University.
Ft. Worth is a nice city. Not too expensive when I lived there. Cold Winters, though. * I'm from a ranch a little W. of Denver. The city's OK, but personally, I'm not too excited by it. Just personal preference. The area is great, especially the mountains to the West.
Super interesting video on trending cities to move to in 2023 & 2024! Really helps with future planning.
🇺🇸❇⚓🔩🍻▪☆▪🍻🔩⚓❇🇺🇸.....Seems as if the southwestern region of the US is seeing the most population growth for the past years & decades stretching from Cali to TX apart from the sunshine state in the Southeast.....Cointoss between Phoenix & Las Vegas where I plan to relocate in the future, glad Phoenix is still growing....¡Evening from out in the mid Atlantic ladies & gentlemen!....Gr8 vid & info & comments as always.....
We moved to Texas few months ago and intend to move somewhere else. It’s too hot and humid here even at night. It’s the end of September but it’s still around 95*F. House prices increase a lot and propriety taxes are too high each year.
Property taxes doubled for me in the past 4 yrs, DOUBLED!! This is due to the influx of people coming into the city.
One of my houses is work roughly $220k+ and taxes for it are $4500. Makes no sense
1. Austin TX
2. Phoenix AZ

We had a family member in Phoenix sit on a penny that was on their car seat. Yes they got a penny brand.😬
I live in St. Petersburg /Tampa FL area….massive population growth and housing cost. Absolutely insane.
Damn, that bad?
@@LeviFlintNot really.
I live in Phx a little town call Maricopa love it! Yes everything you stated is true. When we frist moved in 96 i didn't know any better i was 21 years old purchased our frist car a 300GT Mitsubishi with leather seats oh boy lol never again. The heat in especially Aug, Sept and Oct 🔥
San Diego was the countries best kept secret back in the 90s not now
I promise it's Charlotte, NC...but I'll stick around for the list
Houses in Denver are much more expensive than what you stated. Look on Zillow, lol. Nothing decent in the 400s! 😅
My only experience with Charlotte, NC is with it's airport which is grossly inadequate for the amount of humans that pass through it. It appears to be somewhat newly renovated/added onto, but is sadly already grossly inefficient and overcrowded. Recently spent a few days in the Cary, NC area outside Raleigh only to find the heat and humidity even more insufferable than my area of SW Florida...at least we have Gulf breezes here. San Diego is one of THE MOST boring places I've ever visited, and, in this day and age, I'd avoid California like the plague for MANY reasons.
If you are near the water in Florida or anywhere, you will have a sea breeze during the day and a land breeze at night, making it comfortable. Go a few miles inland, and that breeze disappears. It is a matter of differential heating of the land and sea due to different specific heats.
Charlotte has the worst airport I've ever been to, and I've been to a bunch.
My favorite airport is probably Minneapolis - it's like a mall.
@@VidaBlue317 When the "If you are going to San Francisco wear some flowers in your hair" stuff was big back in the 1960s, people would come to see all the hippies doing dreamy hippie stuff. So nowadays it is "If you are going to Minneapolis wear a helmet over your hair and take a SWAT team with you" and you come to see all the B L M rioters. Not sure that you need much of an airport for what is coming to 2023 Minneapolis.
Is there anyplace you actually do like? 🤔😃
@@skylarsartnphotography3450 I like anyplace you aren't!
I don't know if anyone else caught the oversight about San Antonio but "Remember the Alamo!"
Kingston Trio "At Large" aibum
This is a gimme for Briggs' forthcoming vid, '10 cities Americans are leaving in 2025'. Utopia is great until you realise you aren't the only new arrival ;)
3 cities in TX.
Why am I not surprised 😮?
Bruh. My husband had a conference in San Antonio once, and I was so excited to go to the Riverwalk. They drained it that week, too. Total Bummer.
To be honest with you, I thought for sure, Tampa would be number one in this list. I am surprised that there weren’t any cities in Florida that were on this list.
Florida sucks
Florida sucks and people don’t make a lot of money there.
Traffic on LA freeways on Friday afternoons is a cross between a parking lot and a demolition derby.
Fort Worth was on my list of places to consider moving too. Plan on take a trip there very soon
Don’t if you like peace, it’s a very violent place everyone thinks they cos boys wearing guns
Stay in the Southside, Westside, or Downtown. It's your safest bet tho Northside has some amazing cultural foods
I'm from Denver and people are moving out. Property Taxes are out of control because voters removed the tax rate adjustment limits.
Hebron, OH is outside of Columbus, OH is where NHRA National Trail Raceway.
Indiana is great I moved away from NYC and this place is a hidden gem
I live in #1 and plan on moving to #7 next year. Apparently I'm not as 'individual' as I thought.🤣
Couldn’t pay me to live in Texas, and it’s not the people Texans are great but their choice in politicians is highly suspect. 😅
What are you referring to, state, or city politics ?
@@dcasper8514 State Greg Abbot and Ted Cruz are abominations.
Where is Huntsville, Alabama? This place has BLOWN UP and is STILL blowing up with growth since 2020!!!
Houston, Sugarland, Alief and Katy Texas as well
Love your videos. Considering a move to Franklin, NC. I would love to see your take on the best small towns.
where is the data that backups any of this?
No Tampa/Orlando FL on this list makes it invalid.
You sure Tampa, FL isn't on that list anywhere? I'm not saying it's "great" or "vibrant", but we got yankees and mid-westerners coming here in droves!
Otay in San Diego is pronounced “oh-tie” 😁 San Diego is most likely the most perfect weathered place in the world! If you make it down here to try to live, you’ll end up staying! It has it all ❤
No one cares about pronounciations
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN no one cares about your comment
America finest city no need for heater or air conditioner, easy job for weather man.
I grew up there. Never had an A/C in the house, there was a heater, but it never needed to be run. The most amazing weather in the world, but if you are used to 4 seasons, you may be disappointed by the lack of a real Spring.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Actually, place name pronunciation is how locals can instantly spot an outsider. There is a long history to this phenomenon.
I live in SD right now and will not be staying. The homeless situation is ridiculous and it's more expensive than LA. Just bc the homes are listed around $700k doesn't mean that's what they're sold for. The average sfh is going to cost you closer to $1M. Chula Vista is very nice but is starting to be taken over by the homeless population since they recently passed a law banning them from camping downtown. I couldn't imagine raising a family out here unless you can afford to live in the more expensive areas like La Jolla.
Sounds like the entire country has been Californiacated. Sigh. Is no place safe?
Briggs, can you please do a video on “Top 10 Cities That Have the Lowest Percentage of Californians”.
FYI the reason for the unemployment rate, the reason its so low is because they redefined the definition. Basically it now only counts those who are "still trying" to find a job that they can confirm. If you count those who have given up... i bet the % is close to previous years or worse.
San Diego is expensive you're tripping
Lived in SD and Denver, and both were amazing! SD is too expensive for me to move back to. We are thinking of moving to NC since we are getting priced out in the Denver metro to buy a home, we just want the ability to go hiking but without insane housing costs. It's a dream of mine to move back to San Diego.
Greetings from the PPRC great video as always 🌵
San Diego home prices 700k minimum. Rent for a studio is 2.2k a month. I'm never going back.
No one is moving to Cali.. everyone is moving to Texas… period
My home is number 2! Phoenix. And yes,you can get your thighs burnt off if you sit on vinyl in the heat wearing shorts. Also do NOT get into your car in the summer and grab the steering wheel without a hand rag or something. You WILL get blisters.
I love it here. :}
@xScotterAZx Me too.
I take umbrage with the idea that Phoenix is nice. It is a hellscape that is entirely uninhabitable.
Phoenix is not for everyone but you have to love the outdoors to enjoy Phoenix because up east side MESA AND Apache junction has superstition mountains, tortilla flats, and Roosevelt lake have some beautiful pine trees and river water rafting just minutes away from the city. Love Phoenix AZ back when it was cheap. You can go Payson, camp Verde, Prescott for cool, Wickenburg, climate, Phoenix is motorcycle rider enthusiasts beautiful wide roads but its getting too expensive to live there.
Include crime stats please😊
It must have KILLED Briggs to only have one West Coast city on this list and it not be in Washington or Oregon. 😂😂
Wonderful show!
I live in San Antonio and it has certainly experienced some highly proliferated growth in the last few decades. Unfortunately, San Antonio has a lack of good city planning and developers have flooded the outskirts with new housing developments without really considering the increased traffic density on the roadways or the additional infrastructure that would need to be provided for all these new people. This is a common growing pain for many fast growing cities and I’m sure every city on this list has the same problem. Especially Austin!
Ditto for Portland, OR. Some have opined that a lot of that city's problems can be traced back to this.
Agree…Georgetown was a peaceful town..now it’s crazy growth has made it a traffic clogged city
Not to mention the fact that they want to build over the aquifer recharge zone!!!
I know that traffic problem has plagued California forever they will never fix it.
Yes! Atlanta has that problem too.
Moving back to AZ this year😁. Tried moving back to Illinois last year didnt work out and only lasted 5 months and now Kansas because it was something different and dirt cheap but the happiness is not there. Go where your happiness is at folks❤️💪
Best line is, "Go where your happiness is at folks "... Love it !
I think you forgot Orlando, FL, We get flooded all year round with newcomers. Then they realize they can't afford to live here on the low wages 😂😂😂😂
I lived in O-Town for about four years, wasn't too bad. The urban sprawl there is ridiculous
@@casanovafrankenstein8538Grew up here for 25 years...Trust me people come and go year by year. Indeed Mid-west and northern developers are buying up all the land and developing non-stop. It's terrible and has ruined Orlando 😥😥😥😥
I am shocked the number of people in Orlando that are making 10 Dollars an hour. How can anyone live with that wage when rents are over 2500 a month ???
@@karimsanchez3213living with family/roomies
Agreed! People are moving to Orlando by the damn minute! It’s getting too crowded, cost of living is super high and the job market is limited to hospitality and a few other fields. I just moved from there a few months ago.
Weird that, in contrast to your previous video (cities that are losing population), there's no mention of crime stats, which would definitely be a number one choice if moving to an area. Nice video though
Agreed.
People do not care about crime.
The highest crime rates are in democratic-run cities. Period!
@@benjamincornia7311 democrats dont.
@@CarieSaad True. It’s mostly the far left that use crime as a propaganda tool to promote fear, hatred, and racism. It’s statistically unlikely that you would be a victim of a violent crime. Most people are good, and the human mind tends to have an irrational fear of strangers. Most places are safe, and even in dangerous areas you can protect yourself by staying vigilant. It’s better to live where you want and adapt to your environment.
When I lived in Louisiana, I was almost eaten by dogs during my morning walks. Did I stop going on my morning walks because of it? No. I got better at fighting dogs by practicing the side-angle kick and carrying rocks in my pockets. The neighbors eventually did the sensible thing and brought their man-eating dogs inside and or chained them in their yard. When I lived in Idaho, I was the victim of theft regularly. I adapted by dressing down and generally not having nice things. Admittedly crime was annoying when I lived in Idaho, but at least on paper, I was supposedly living in a town with a low crime rate. Most crime goes unreported.
You just never know. I went to San Diego twice in the 90s, and fell in love with the place. I dreamed about moving there. I later had a secretary who'd been born and raised in San Diego, and you couldn't pay her enough to make her go back.
Yeah, democrats happened and now there’s crime and homeless crackheads everywhere in California.
Not to mention that the average house cost and taxes there do not help.
Cali got what it voted for. They think they’re normal, but they’re not.
Too expensive and the state is going to have to raise taxes significantly to afford what it's been promising.
We left San Diego two years ago after being there 30 years. It's changed for the worse and though we loved it in the early years we were happy to leave.
@@landeeld9596 leaving the 1rst of the month bitter sweet after 22 years i feel its changed for the worse also
@@Thomas116-m2n I don't know who they're expecting to pay all those increased taxes because CA is hemorrhaging taxpayers. Not people. Taxpayers! They keep gaining people who cost them more money and losing the gainfully employed, tax paying citizens that used to make up the bulk of their population. Employers have left and continue to leave for other states and their employees either go with them or leave shortly after anyway just to get away from the hellhole this state has turned into.
We have the highest housing costs that are increasing every single month, the highest gas cost thanks to a $.75 per gallon tax, and the highest prices on goods, food and services. All that in return for roads that don't get taken care of, overcrowded schools, subpar healthcare services and increasing homeless and crime taking over even what used to be the safest suburban neighborhoods. Even the few things CA had going for it (weather and the ocean/coastal towns) are turning into bad things like the 100 degree weather for six months on end and the coast that is no longer a nice escape but has now become tainted by crime and homeless as well. Taxpayers will continue to leave the state and they'll quickly reach the point where the remaining people living here will be the lazy who don't work, the lower income on costly assistance programs, the refugees on costly assistance programs, the homeless and drug addicts on costly assistance programs, and a few ultra wealthy that never pay taxes anyway. Good luck covering those $5 million reparations payments.
Love San Diego but it’s too expensive so I chose Charlotte. I move in August!
@Sarah Luv Congratulations to you. What type of work you do? I have visited Charlotte several times. I live in Atlanta. Do you have a job lined up when you get there?
@@russelladams7134 thank you! ☺️ I did accept a job offer as a School Psychologist.
We live in Denver Colorado…I’m from Houston Texas and moved to Denver (my wife’s hometown) in 2009 and OMG, there are so many damn people that have moved here since I got here 14 years ago! Every side street is being widened and hwy 225, I-25, and C470 have been widened at every section of the Denver metro area. We’re in Centennial, Co. 15 miles from downtown Denver and everything is building south down towards Parker! I bet in 10 years There will be houses built from Lone Tree, CO down to Castlerock! Stop moving here!! Lol
Phoenix getting so big is really concerning
Arizona will always have a sized city for everyone though.
Phoenix , then tucson , then yuma. Then , if those grow too large , odds are some small town will take ones spot.
Also flagstaff but its definitely one of those mountain towns. Its a dark sky city and they found Pluto there. Its colder then the rest of the state though , and if you are used to cold climates , you are surrounded by heat any direction but north / northwest
I moved out in 2009. Those houses aren't going to be worth anything when the water runs out.
California is a much larger problem than Phoenix ever will be. Assuming we’re talking water usage.
I honestly don’t know why people decided to build Phoenix.
Nashville's median home price is neither $325K nor $360K. As of March 2023, Redfin has the median home price at $431K and Zillow has the median home price at $427K.
Damn
agree nashville is expensive and a big tourist city
This guy Briggs doesn't do his research, he just spits these videos out for the algorithm and to keep getting paid. Sad people follow him.
That’s much more accurate
Agreed. I was just there. Lots of people and more and more the locals are getting pushed further and further out. There are so many big buildings going up, downtown is now called the land of cranes, as in building cranes working on 30 story buildings. Also, the airport is doing a major expansion and adding a large international section. So, in addition to being the world capital for Bachelorette parties, Nashville is becoming another mega business and commercial center.
I would worry about Phoenix long term future. Especially since a good portion of its water comes from the Colorado River. Hopefully the resent winter weather in the Mt West will help.
I wouldn’t worry about Phoenix. It’s the food the export I would worry about tho. 70% of Arizonas water goes to agriculture. If the Colorado River is running low I highly doubt the residents of that state are going to allow the water intensive agriculture exports to cold weather states or foreign countries over their drinking water.
The resent winter in the Mt West is probably an outlier
Nothing to worry about. Only 6.6% of water in AZ is used for indoor residential (for about 7.5 million people). While over 72% is used in agriculture. It's the farmland that will be hit with water cuts. Growing water intensive crops in the desert makes no sense other than having longer growing seasons. It's the farmers and the big corporate farms that will be getting hit hard when there are water shortages.
AI will solve it
@@RPhelan99 No, Katy Hobbs will solve it. Maybe that is AI.
Nashville’s already bleeding off some excess population, lots of people are moving to nearby Murfreesboro and even that city’s growing a little too quickly for some
Traffic in Nashville and Murfreesboro is horrendous. Very poorly planned roads and streets. Tons of bottlenecks. I-24 was nothing but huge potholes on our last visit.
I lived there in the 80s. It sucked then but it has improved.
@@tomservo4864 Pigeon Forge is like the Wisconsin Dells on steroids! Tennessee is a nice state but like Montana and Idaho, too many people have moved there recently.
Not sure the guy who does these videos is that accurate. Maybe greater Nashville will continue to grow. But Nashville is leaving off. People like said bleeding to areas around Nashville.
@@peteshallcross787 LOL, 99% of Montana and Idaho is empty space.
Youre so far off on cost to live in San Diego its not even funny.
I like Austin, but it can be costly. Because of limited tax sources, they have a lot of toll roads. We spend $30 for tolls on a weekend. That included a trip to the Eastern suburbs and back to the Western suburbs. The lack of income taxes also means a lot of things are paid for by property taxes. A family member saw her property taxes jump from $3,000 to $7,000 to $14,000 in 3 years. Fortunately, they dropped to $12,000 this year.
Looking at maps, that seems to be a problem in most Texas metros (and Florida). Public transit is "communism" but toll roads aren't?
Yes. Property taxes in TX sucks.
If you are rich the best place is Bellevue where near Bill Gate , Santa Barbara, the best city of all I think .
Yes, New Jersey has a toll highway. We call it the New Jersey turnpike, which is part of I-95.
@@Electrodexify Nobody lives in the corn fields, that's why there's no traffic and no need for tolls. If Warren decides to gentrify Nebraska, you bet your ass they will build build build to accommodate more people.
I lived in Austin for 15 years… moved out about 7 years ago. Sad to say, it’s not as much “laid back” as it used to be and it’s not “the place where hippies go” anymore because they can’t afford to live here. The nightlife scene is great if that’s your thing, but no matter what you do, be prepared to sit in traffic or stand in long lines.
I heard most of the hippie crowd are going to San Marcos these days. I'm staying in DFW. I have a paid off home.

San Diego I am leaving after 22 years, loved it until i sobered up. If you are young and love the party AND can tolerate the open drug use,homeless,litter, and people just taking what they want and walking out the store with no care in the world, This is the place for you. Also San Diego is the 3rd most expensive city in USA (according to us news)
Yeah, I just can't trust Briggs after hearing about San Diego for the second time from him like this. I bet he is getting paid to mention certain cities...
Like to get a freaking burrito 2 mins drive away from us, we had to look for parking for about 15mins on a weekday evening on a typical day. We got used to just one of us hopping out of the car to get the order, while the other continues driving round the block until the order is ready... Sure there are some amazing places to go, but the traffic and crowds make it just not worth it a lot of the time. It's just an exhausting place to live.
The beaches are often over crowded, and a lot of them have serious parking issues too. So get ready to drive your kids around for 20minutes before you can park at Belmont Park beach on most days and times of the week. Then you will get a parking spot from which it takes crossing a busy major road and then walking 10-15mins before you finally make it to the beach. Good luck trying to park at La Jolla beach, that's near enough impossible. The beaches themselves are overcrowded and sometimes get closed down because of pollution from the Mexican border. (I'm not sure it's always the cleanest even when not shut down, as the authorities are trying to make money and pressured by the tourism industry) Good luck trying to relax with small children, around as you will have to watch like a hawk they don't get run over by the constant beach guard trucks driving around.
Did I mention that with so much piercing sunlight much of the year, most of the childrens playgrounds don't even have any sun shade?
Ok this is like 2% of what I can actually say about real life in San Diego having actually lived there for eight years. Moved out of state a year ago and still feel like venting, it was so horrible! I was hoping Briggs would be a trustworthy source of information since we are looking to buy a house. But this has caused me to seriously doubt his credibility.
As someone who has lived in the Phoenix metro area for most of my life I will say unless you love getting skin cancer, being around snobby people, love bad air quality and love horrible sports teams then don't move here. In fact I'm moving next year to avoid this Hell on Earth
I moved from Boston to Charlotte 15 years ago. Charlotte is beautiful. Affordable. Some of the best weather on east coast - not too hot, not too cold. Realities humidity less than some cities in mid-west (coastal Carolina’s are very humid- Charlotte is about 700 ft above sea level)
I lived in Austin, TX for 12 years.. Between the heat, the homeless population, and the cost of living it isn't worth it anymore.
wait really ? im from jersey and was thinking of making the move .. any other pros and cons ?
@@drew3338 Depending on where you live, rent for a one-bedroom can run $1100 to $2400 a month. The average cost of a house is $500k, and that is just the mortgage. You have to factor in water which can cost hundreds per month, and property taxes which can close to $40k per year.
@@rlvarady ahh so it’s about the same up here honestly, i was looking for a change of scenery , mountains and cactuses but since this world is crazy idk if it’s safe to make a jump like that
deff wanted a house if i was to move , a lot of factors
@@drew3338 If I could stay in Texas, I would, but I need to think about my future plus My family needs my help. So family first
Raleigh, NC is quickly losing its charm as the housing is only affordable to people from California or Northeast. Crime and traffic is growing quickly.
Housing is going up, but compare to California real state is less than half, and crime in Raleigh is extremely lower than California in large cities. California is a corrupt state, NC is a friendly state
Same in Charlotte. Rude people from NY, NJ, CA, Maryland, Ohio, etc moving here turning into what they left!!! Crime through the roof! Bye bye CLT!
...and San Diego is known for it's growing homeless population. Compared to the rest of the country, San Diego isn't affordable and traffic is bad
Austin and San Antonio are slowly becoming one big metro. I hope they can finally decide on how to expand on the highways here in Austin because it is already getting out of hand and not seeing any improvement.
Agree. This is the one place in Texas where intercity rail transit is sorely needed
Traffic and sprawling housing areas, doesn’t even look like Texas anymore.
I'm going to Austin I heard it's lots of Lady's there 😍😍
I agree. What happened to the discussions about a hyperloop or whatever it was they were talking about 2 years ago?
@@e.h.4933 Hyperloop is a definitively failed scam. Texas never even considered it. The current yet-to-fail scam is Texas Central Railway that will connect two major metro areas (DFW & Houston) and a third middle-of-nowhere station.
Phoenix is hot, hot, hot. traffic isn't great. Go back 45 years and Phoenix is great.
I went to college in San Diego and still miss it after over 25 years away. The weather is truly amazing, hills and little canyons everywhere to bike/hike; I used to think it was expensive while I was living there, but after 20+ years in the Bay Area, it is much more affordable. It will expensive if you want to live blocks from the ocean/beaches.
I call San Diego heaven but just too expensive
Not sure what you guys consider expensive, I looked up the home prices , it's fairly close to Toronto market, only difference is you guys paying 1.3 - 1.5 million for a nice big single home ready to move in.
The condo market is around the same, 2 bed room condo is hovering over 700 k
Toronto, 1.3 million will geg you a small semi detach home ( depending on area, it'll also need renovation )
1.4 - 1.6 million - entry level to a single home with renovation.
1.7 + entry level ready to move. depending on area, and size , most will need some updates and the smaller ones will usually be renovated.
@jackboy2472 I have been to paradise such as Hawaii, Whitsunday islands in Australia. San Diego is nice, but it's losing its charm.
I'm kind of selfishly happy that the Tampa area isn't on here.. give me a chance to afford a house 😅
I am happy too
I'm wondering where some of these stats come from. A home in San Diego for around $850K? I guess it's possible. I just asked Bing AI what kind of home I could get in SD for $850K. Her answer: a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, 612 sq. ft. I watch a lof of YT videos, and San Diego is always described as insanely expensive. Who wants to live in a cracker box for almost $900,00. Some may. I don't.
I think one of the sleeping places is the Las Vegas area. The amount of construction, homes, people from California and Washington that are moving there, and companies. Plus the tax benefits and world class restaurant should put it more on the list.
I was surprised myself that Vegas wasn’t on the list.
We're full. Go to Salt Lake or Boise
I lived in San Diego for 35 years and you couldn't be more wrong with your reporting. Not sure how you did your research but the homeless situation, traffic on the I-5 and the price of housing is outrageous. A typical 2 bedroom apartment is north of $2500 a month. Do a Zillow search and you'll find the only housing you can buy under $500,000 is a mobile home.
I know I was legit just bouta comment. “Guessing you never been to San Diego” 😂
@@trentbell1318 guessing you never read my first sentence?
@@alpaciello90 bro I was agreeing with u saying I was gonna comment that before I seen your comment. Your FUVKING stupid go back to school
@@alpaciello90 I said “I know” to what u said. U need learn better English
@@alpaciello90 no he’s agreeing with you.
No more desert for me lol I lived in the desert for 25 years. San Diego is hugely expensive to live in.
The desert is dry and scary.
Sorry to report that San Diego is going downhill the last 7 years in my opinion. Over 2K for a studio apartment with people camping in tents at the end of the block. Highest utility rates in the nation I believe and being raised again next year to make rates more “equitable” for everyone. If you want a one bedroom in a decent neighborhood, its closer (or over) 3K a month in a lot of the desirable areas. Yes, it’s beautiful in a lot of areas but it’s starting to turn into LA and not worth it anymore in my opinion.
His pricing information always seems to be be a few years old.
Seax: Yuhp! Avg home in sd $750? 😂 yeah right! It’s more like 1million or 900k at least
Completely agree. We were paying $600 a month for electricity for a three bedroom, while using major appliances off peak-hours and no AC. With AC it was over $1000 per month in the summer months, so we just decided to tough it out and turned it off. If your pregnant it's absolute torture..
$2300 per month for rent to live in the ghetto (Normal Heights), with homeless people less than 200 feet away, camped all along the freeway. Stole our kids bike... And the freeways cut through all the neighborhoods so its very hard to avoid them. Drug needles everywhere as you take your kids out for a walk around the block. Old lead painted houses peeling around you and a land-lord hiring some illegal workers to bash down the lead painted house in-front of you for renovation, without proper training or permits. You have to contact the city to halt the process so the contractor at least obtains proper permits and training on safe lead removal. etc. etc. The terrible living conditions are endless, I could write and essay. ( halve the houses are back units, i.e. in the backyard of actual houses, with no direct road access, to maximize profits for the landlord since he can charge obscene rent for the dingiest places to live)
Anyway, I don't trust Briggs anymore for mentioned San Diego, twice now, as one of the best places to live. Like who cares about Legoland, when you can't even walk outside your house without smelling pee or stepping of a drug needle ?!
We moved a year ago out of state without looking back. What a huge relief.
I went to San Diego to get away from la lol
@@galinarou I live in St. Louis, and these numbers are just unbelievable to me. And we have no homeless encampments.
I grew up in Austin during the 80s and 90s to see it go from "the small town feel" to something that I didn't want to be a part of. There are sooo many people who moved to the Greater Austin area from California for various reasons.
I also lived there. It’s so crazy seeing all the shiny, new buildings being built left and right. It surely went from a small “suburb” of San Antonio, to the explosive city it is today.
I’m sure growth will subside, though. I remember when El Paso was the 10th largest city in the U.S., so that’s telling my age.
That's basically all Texas cities outside of Dallas & Houston im from Fort Worth(still live here) and man it's starting to change drastically im only 23 and starting to notice the difference can't wait to see what Fort Worth would look like in 10-20 years we'll never get out of Dallas shadow tho 😅
Liberals
And PROUD.
Conservative native SF here who moved to ATX - SF got gentrified by international people and people from the boonie states like Kansas/Nebraska/Dakota, it's unrecognizable now. The difference between SF and Austin is CA is blue and TX is red. Republicans will for sure not let Austin become like SF.
I'm glad you mentioned Chula Vista in the San Diego segment. I have lived her for almost 30 years. It was the fastest growing city back in the 90s but there is still lots of construction here and the new homes and condos fill up fast. And I constantly see license plates from other states. So I expect to see it keep growing.
Chula Vista. The best kept secret. I believe 3rd Avenue Village Downtown will become a tourist spot in the near future.
