    Tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, high crime and extreme heat/humidity are a deal breaker for me.

      Where you getting your info from been here 7yrs in and out since 2010-2012...and had one hot summer..thunder storms all all over mid United States....Tornadoes are really in the northern state..we get some but still north from where I live..and Crime🤔...again where is this crime in the hood ..yeah that's everywhere..! Don't go live in the hood no matter where you live..I'm from Los Angeles🤔🫡

      @masterprophet8378 Год назад

      They just told you in the video @ 14:10 that Fort Worth gets tornadoes.
      Are you even paying attention to what they said, janice1948?
      You just defeated your own argument by saying you have lived there "in and out" but not consistently.
      "Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee" (Luke 16:22).
      Then you contradict yourself by saying "Don't go live in the hood no matter where you live" but also said that crime is "everywhere."
      * boink *
      Proof that you're fussing just for the sake of fussing, making no kind of sense.
      That's L.A. folk for you, though. lol smh
      And there are more than enough RUclips videos showing tornadoes touching down in the Fort Worth area.
      You're being defensive out of emotion, not out of facts - and you're not even under attack.
      More atypical L.A. behavior.
      I patiently await your venomous response.
      Oh, and I'm from New York City.

    You two seem like nice people. By way of background Ft Worth was very segregated and I can remember in the 60s when black people would have been afraid to go to Forest Park or the botanical gardens or Amon Carter musems or Cass Manana. The city has come a long way but it's still run by some Republicans that really don't want a lot of the riff raff that has piled in here. Gee when I arrived back here in early 1981 the population of Ft Worth was just under 400k. Now at 1 million... which is ok but I wish they could have been more prepared. More wider streets and freeways.
