  • Moving to Texas from New York has been great so far. Living in Houston Texas has its pros and cons as any city does, but I'm loving it! Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions that I haven't addressed in this video and what you would like to see in Part 2!

    Girl, I thought I was the only one, I have anxiety about driving so I don’t. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and want to move to Houston. I’m glad you made this video…it lets me know that it’s possible.

    You don’t need a car in Houston. However, you should either live in the city ( close to downtown, or Midtown). Or live in an area that has multiple bus lines. The Galleria Mall area is saturated w/ bus lines.

      Oh wow! I knew I wasn’t alone lol honestly it depends on the area you choose to live. Downtown is walkable and houston is so big there’s downtown like pockets all over. Once you get to the suburbs though you definitely need a car

    I agree with you on that I WFH and I can keep a full tank for about 2 weeks before I need to go to the gas station because I literally don’t move through out the week day. So I do think not having a car is easier for you due to working from home.

      Listen it’s possible. I have a car now because I got a new job that required me to go out but if I went back to remote I would love to be without it 😭 Uber me pleasee! It’s pretty much the same financially if you work from home and Uber when you need to. Also, I highly recommend looking into tanglewood area where things are walking distance but still a nice suburb vibe

    You look so happy! It’s good thing you didn’t have a car because the cost to ship that car would’ve cost you another car. I’m assuming it was more expensive to have all of your things moved at once with the delivery guys ? Plus I heard the more small things you have them move the harder it is to pinpoint what’s missing immediately.., AKA stolen 😉
    I am waiting on the apartment tour, take us apartment shopping or grocery shopping , take us with you as you walk to your destination. A vlog!! You know I love vlogs. You and I have been supporting one another for a long time . You’re smart and beautiful, keep going . You’ll have 2k subscribers soon . I think the vlogs will get you there . You know me it’s hard for me to leave a short comment.😜

    Yes I’m from NY and was discouraged to not having a car yet. But I know moving to a new city is my calling, I prayed on it. I plan on staying in a airbnb and applying for jobs near by, I have experience in everything lol thanks to NY. I’ve applied to remote jobs as a backup . I’m so glad I came across this video in 2024 ❤, super helpful and I love to walk to girl 😂.. them folks are just gonna have to call me crazy than cause I’m walking.

      I will definitely keep them coming! I am so happy to be out of NY. It was a long time coming. That sounds like the perfect timing for you. For now, I would definitely recommend visiting so you can get a feel of the different cities, Austin vs Houston vs Dallas. Also, if you don't drive, practicing for when you come if you are planning on living in the suburbs.

    Nice video not everyone has to drive especially in nyc but I got a car and I live in nyc but I think you don't need a car in Texas probably because you got a college degree if you didn't you probably wouldn't be working from home no offense because most people have to travel a long distance to work in NYC so in Texas where public transportation is trash I'm pretty sure you have to travel even further
