Arlington was listed as one of the worst towns in Texas. Also on the list was Dallas / Ft Worth. I'm thinking this could be a History Channel production.
Lets face it, the middle class in Arlington cannot afford pro sports games or to pay for ridiculous 6 flag prices. Too many people in Arlington make minimum wage.

I moved to McAllen a year and half ago and I love it! The scenery is beautiful, has gorgeous neighborhoods, and pretty places to walk around when the temperature cools down at the end of the day. There’s lots of stores to shop at and so many delicious restaurants! The culture is very Tex Mex and so friendly. McAllen is awesome!!!
I live in the RGV, which had three spots on this list. It’s not all that bad here. Sure most cities in the valley and in Texas are better than some, but it’s not as bad as listed here. Most of the people in valley are happy and that’s what matters.

@@HimothyOHooligan why would it be sad if I know first hand what The Caribbeans, The Bahamas and Mexican Islands and beaches look like. I’ve been Cruising for over 10 yrs so I definitely know what we have. South Padre Island might not have clear beautiful waters, but it’s only 30mins away and you can basically do everything you would do on an excursion on an exotic Island.
You mention Hidalgo, their is a city and a county. You lumped them together and that makes little sense. You mention Monto Alto, which is not even next to Hidalgo. Work on your facts. Focusing on the city and then lumping in the county and talking about another school district is just sloppy.
So just pick 10 random places in Texas and label them as the "worst towns to live in Texas" while slapping together 1 or 2 random statistics unrelated to any of the other statistics shown with other cities.... got it.... Also, having "Dallas - Fort Worth" as a city while having Arlington as a separate city when it's right in between the other 2 is kind of weird. The video's clearly more about clickbait than providing knowledge. lol
What metric shows Dallas and Fort Worth as expensive, and not mention a word about Austin and Houston which are way more expensive than DFW? I think you have biased or bad information. The biggest part of your "10 worst" list are boarder towns which are now directly dealing with mass illegal migration.
The video stated that Dallas (and Ft. Worth) are expensive and that's one of the main reasons not to move there. Austin is significantly more expensive than Dallas and wasn't even mentioned. That's my point.
Houston isn’t nearly as expensive as Austin or Dallas. That said, I’d lap like to hear more on what makes Dallas one of the most expensive in the country. I can think of plenty more expensive areas. And not a little more but a lot more.
I like how they just grabbed some random facts for each city and cobbled them together. Zero continuity. This feels like something Gavin Newsom put together as a hit piece.
Are retirees counted in that unemployment rate mentioned? Loads of retirees used to flock to McAllen and live happily ever area. Perhaps whomever wrote this piece didn't do all of his/her homework. I heard a lot of statements "out there" with regard to some of the Texas cities and towns...things that no respectable, honest Texan would conclude unless they weren't aware of all of the facts. With so many moving from CA to TX, I pray that TX doesn't politically the way of CA.
Amen! My husband and I lived there for several years, including back when it was a small, quirky city. We were married in a park there in 1975. It's turned into a beast. I have lived in 14 different cities in eight different states, and have visited many others. Austin has the very worst traffic. I have driven on the 405, in SoCal, during rush hour, and it flowed more smoothly than Austin traffic. Austin is also flamingly Leftist, so chances are you won't be happy there, unless you're a Commie. Great music scene though.
@@rodneyrainey2021I know what you mean. I learned to drive in San Antonio, when it was about half as big as it is now. I'm OK on highways if they're moving. SA is now all construction, and Austin is all congestion, all the time. I often wish I lived in a small town.
This is what happens when people make videos about places they have never been to. A better Top Ten would be the cities that Americans are fleeing, like San Francisco, Chicago, New York et al and then compare them to the population loss in these so-called "worst towns.
I actually graduated from Monterey highschool in the 1970s and it's always been a rough town that you can have a traffic jam going to church. It's not very different than most other fast growing cities
People vote with their feet and their wallets. They flee hell holes like S.Francisco, Detroit, Chicago and others. But, there are 2 another mitigating huge factors; how many people on welfare and foodstamps, and how many of the population work for the government. These are obvious hell holes, full of dirty, child mutilating, living /born child killing liberals and the poor.
This guy doesn’t know what he is taking about. I was born and raised in Dallas and lived around the country because of the military and Dallas and Arlington are one of the best places to live. Minimum wages workers can’t live in Arlington because Arlington is very bougie lol and so is downtown Dallas.
That’s what I don’t like about Texas. I was born here and likely die here, but can’t stand the summers. This year, at least it’s gree, but I went outside after 9 tonight and the heat was still like an oven.
I won’t be joining them. Brownsville is literally one of the least desirable cities in Texas other than the ones in the panhandle and at least those are closer to the mountains which I love. South Padre is nice, but not worth living in hell errr Brownsville
@@benenuff-vz6xl thanks for your response. I had bought a lot to build on in TX but had second thoughts after the border crisis and so many people moving there. I chose a different state to build a home in.
You dont have any authority buddy to tell where people can move to , I don't agree with a lot of the politics of California so don't paint every person from California like that , we all are not surfer dudes and rich people like the Kardashians, that's just the social media propaganda that's spread to you from here , theres a lot of hard working Americans here that just want a better life or a fresh start somewhere else
If there's a lot of Californians that do go to Texas to change policies then I dont know what to tell you bud , Texas is slowly turning into a California as well because of the rich California people and companies that moved there and want to take guns away just like they did in California
Beaumont always gets a bad wrap because we get lumped in with Port Arthur which is nothing but refineries and gangland, but in the past 2 years there has been a rise in crime. It’s becoming like Houston where everyone lives on the outskirts and drive in for work.
Makes me feel fortunate about being in El Paso. Despite it's distance, we manage to avoid the horros of the winter blackout. Only concern: political chichanery from State Admins.
Yes, please tell people not to move to Lubbock. I'm guessing the crime rates get skewed because the town's size makes it big enough to have crime but it doesn't have a big enough population to make the percentage lower. It's honestly a lot safer than a lot of other towns in Texas.
You’ve convinced me and I promise I’ll never move to Lubbock. Plus, it’s literally the flattest, most dust flying, least attractive town in this entire state. Seriously, I promise you I’ll die before I live in tat ugly town. So, no thanks
I agree. I've lived here for a long time and it's not any worse than any other city lol. And extreme weather is an overstatement lol. Mostly just lots of wind
@@karlwithak. if you’re looking at violent crimes per capita your total population would be the denominator. The larger the population, the larger the denominator. So having a larger denominator gives you a better chance to lower your crime rate. From a statistical standpoint, you get a smaller sample of the population which causes you to deviate from the mean. I’m just shooting from the hip here, but figured I’d clear things up a little
I have to wonder who produced this . I grew up in Lubbock , and have lived in Arlington /Fort Worth and Dallas . I'm not about to defend any of these places honor , but I don't believe the narrator has ever even been to Texas .
I live in Lubbock, and yes it is boring. But his crime stats are off. Yes there is lots of homicides and crime, but having a 1/16th chance of getting involved in a violent crime is not true.
Born in Borger.... left for CA years ago and so glad we did. I went back in '05 and the place was dusty, dry, and dead. The lake stank of bad fish, the town reeked of oil refining and there was nothing to do but hit the local dive bar or head for Amarillo. Other than the decline in the lake and the closing of 80% of everything, nothing has changed there. I've never gone back and never want to now.
FYI Hidalgo tx is different from Hidalgo County Monte alto is not Hidalgo tx but it's part of Hidalgo county... Also Hidalgo Tx is home to one of biggest artists know as Ramon Ayala and the biggest festival know and Border fest plus its schools are fine and the soccer team are the recent state Champs know it's way different from Monte alto .... please be mindful of this information
Hidalgo is the perfect place to grow a family low crime rate not one single homeless person great schools and a close community ! Not to mention lots of events hosted by the city
Dude, there are plenty of homeless in Hidalgo. You just don't see them Cuz there are plenty of brush for them to sleep under. And the fajita Cook off is jot enough to entice people to come here. The biggest draw is our close relationship to Reynosa and it's maquilas. Hidalgo grew because of Nafta. Plain and simple.
@@rolandbachmann1743 first of all what homeless person sleeps in brush ? Second of all you typically see homeless people asking for money which are nowhere to be found in the city of Hidalgo and I’m pretty sure you might be talking of Hidalgo county as a whole and anyways why does it matter how the city or county grew this country was founded on the harsh labor of slaves and stealing from the native so doesn’t get much lower than that
Don't ever live in Mesquite, the bottom of your car will look like shredded cheese, the streets are absolutely horrible. You will need an alignment nearly weekly!!
I am born and raised in McAllen and love it. But if you're moving here then plan on looking for work don't im 46 and have worked since i wad 15 but once i left home to live on my own had to work in the oil field to make good money now i work in IT for a large company still love McAllen and dont plan on ever moving
I noticed that the narrator separated Arlington from Dallas-Fort Worth but it along with many other cities are in between those two large distinct cities in an area known as the “mid-cities” region.
The disclaimer at the beginning that everyone is entitled to their opinion immediately disqualifies objectivity. Data used was provided at least mostly by private studies; which will only say what the money tells them to say. My biased list from 10 to 1 would be Beaumont (boring), Austin (expensive), Houston (crime, traffic), Corpus Christi (heat, malaise), Laredo (heat, crime), Port Arthur (hurricanes, malaise), Lake Jackson (malaise, boring), Pasadena (smell, crime, heat), Bellmead (crime, crime, more crime), and Vidor (overt racism).
I live in the valley and it's stretches from Brownsvill all the way to Laredo.. all these data collected on are bs .. come down and find out your self .. u gunna love it here
What makes the RGV rank so low is the proximity to the border, and all the issues that come with that’s, health care is the pits, I worked in that industry over 20 years 15 of them in the mid valley, grew up in Brownsville but had to leave, best choice I made back in 2004, moved to Harlingen mid valley area had some potential, but typical valley style growth, and the allure to bring innovative industries to the RGV never took off, so like any other valley city, if you don’t work in Politics, Healthcare, Law enforcement, or Education there isn’t any other other major industry where one can work and thrive. The lower RGV is also one of the lowest incomes levels in the country, and has the highest recipients of Medicaid and other gov subsidies. As compared to other metro areas in the state minimum wage is still around 7.75 to 8.00 starting,
Well I'm in the RGV also. It's nice here but, property taxes are very high and it's very hot here. High 90s to 116 or so. Hard to do things out in that hot weather. It's easy to move around, we have some very nice roads here. Car prices here tend to be higher. I think that is due to a monopoly on the business. I think they could combine several towns like McAllen, Mission, Alton, Edinburgh and a few more into one city. These towns are all continguous. It's not bad here. We have everything any other city has and a lot more peaceful than many other cities.
@@texasdoublemeat Do you not enjoy living there? Besides the beach being close by, are there any pros or any more cons? I’m trying to move to a location that’s more affordable but still near a beach. Is employment alright in that area? Thank you!
I lived there for 6 years. You would do better to move to Harlingen. The entire RGV sucks. It's like living in a 3rd world country. South Padre Island is about 25 miles from either & is NOTHING like the beaches in Florida or CA.
@@SophiePix1 Also remember they do get hurricanes. The one I was there for in 2008 had substantial flooding etc. If you're into book stores, you will have to go to McAllen which is 50+ miles from Brownsville & 26 miles from Harlingen. About the only thing I miss about the RGV is the food.
Port Arthur, Texas definitely needs to be on this list. Some people call it the armpit of Texas and bleak dot on the coast. Others refer to it as the asshole of Texas...this has a lot to do where it's located.
What's worse is the threats from cartels against our officers, increased corruption, it's always a problem. Take it from a Mexican like me. It's really that bad
Yes tell people not move Austin n San Antonio because there just as bad in crime as far as homeless people there in all the states not just Texas I was born and raised here and I wouldn't move no place I love my state so if you can't hang don't come to Texas
Prairie View, is the home of Prairie View A&M University, not Texas A&M and majority of the people who stay there are College Student. Most working adults stay in the neighboring towns.
That's "Prairie View A&M" NOT Texas A&M.. Also those salary stats are largely based on lower income college students which alsi accounts for the majority of the population.
Most of these opinions are true. I didn't live in any of these towns or cities mentioned. If you live in Arlington at least you have the other cities surrounding Dallas/Ft. Worth.
I'm surprised you didn't do my Hometown Corpus Christi Texas lately. It actually was ranked number 7 on the most dangerous places to live in the nation.
Well Ricardo,how about you get busy,get involved and do something about it.The sparkling city by the sea with a name like the body of Christ is worth saving.
@@TeutonicTribe Why. Texas is business friendly. Big cities are prosperous, but the rest of the state struggles economically? It just seems like there should be some balance.
I used to work for a wireless internet provider, and many of these towns were among where we provided service. Arguably I'm sure the boredom factor in these panhandle towns helped business aside from a slight advantage in speed's previous unmatched by line of sight connectivity (until Starlink), or cellular plans (data limits/caps).
I definitely don't trust the validity of any of your stats. The Rio Grande Valley, home to Laredo, Hidalgo, McAllen and Brownsville was the only region in all of Texas to see economic growth during the Pandemic. While there may be high poverty rates, everything is so cheap here that even the poor have housing. Nothing like poverty in Corpus Christi, Dallas, Austin, Houston or San Antonio where you see homeless camps.
Dallas, Arlington, Fort Worth... 3 distinctively separate cities, each with their own mayor, political, and voter base, are all part of the D/FW area spanning across multiple counties. All three have a plethora of entertainment, commerce, and residential options for each tax bracket despite cost of living differences. Arlington is in Tarrant County. Dallas is in the neighboring Dallas County. Yet the official stadium for the Dallas Cowboys is in Arlington. But that does not make them the same city.
Well I grew up in College Station. I was there about 30 years. And the town I live in has no stores no bank no gas station. We have 1 restaurant and it’s overpriced. I live in a small town called Nordheim.
@@davidjo9683 it’s a nice town. I’m 45 minutes from Victoria 2 hours from Austin 1 hour 30 hours to San Antonio. And Highway 72 goes through the town. And we have a blinking light.
From this Texans POV, half of the cities on this list are on the US/Mexico border. I'll give anyone 3 guesses why those particular cities are not the most ideal locations to move to. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to many, the Mexican cartels operate the border on both sides and have for many years. Hopefully, when a border wall is fully implemented, we will see substantial imprivements. That is whst we anticipate anyhow. Yes, Lubbock is boring. It sits practucallybon the middle of the state. It is a college town and the closest larger cities are Amarillo & Abikene, both which are just as boring as Lubbock. Arlington surprised me as it is home to the Texas Rangers and the Cowboys. Also, Six Flags abd Hurricane Harbor (formerly Wet n' Wild). But even more than this, Arlington is the central point fir Dallas/Ft Worth which makes everything accessible depending on which way one goes. Dallas/Ft Worth surprised me not because of cost of living but because anything and everything one could wish to do is somewhere around here. What truly makes things horrible, especially here in DFW is traffic! Too many people moving here too fast. I know it's a great state but if people continue to move here at this rate, we won't be for long.
I believe who made this video should come to the city of McAllen and check it out. I LOVE McAllen. I believe it is a great city with so much growth and potential. There are a ton of businesses and kind and hardworking people. McAllen has a trhiving mall that has withstood the test of time. it is impressive! They have every brand you can think of. There are a ton of stores filled with merchandise, a ton of mom and pop businesses, a ton of infrastructure growth... freeways, stores, houses. None of that would be happening in the worst city to live in. I do appreciate the great laugh I had, because i just bought a house here and LOVE IT! Best kept secret! Shh! Beautiful Texan City theme park for adults!
You cited DFW (after trashing Arlington, a suburb of Fort Worth in Tarrant County where Dallas is in Dallas County. Arlington has The Dallas Cowboys football Team, The Texas Rangers baseball team along with the original Six flags over Texas) but you barely mentioned Fort Worth. Dallas and Fort Worth are two entirely different cities 33 miles from downtown to downtown apart. I would not want to live in Dallas but Fort Worth is a very beautiful, spread out city, large but acts as a small Texas town. It is not a suburb of Dallas. And while very close they both are in two significantly different physical locations, Dallas in the rich blackland farming soil and Fort Worth part of the beginnings of the southern prairie of America, great for grazing cattle. Please, if you’re talking about not so good Texas cities, don’t lump Fort Worth in with Dallas. Please. Thank you.
Blah, blah, blah another internet toughie. Dude, if you shoot someone it’s not the fun and games you seem to think it is. You’ll be haunted the rest of your life unless you’re a psychopath
I do not care what people say I love Lubbock. However the part about us being one of the most boring places, is highly accurate. There is nothing to do here except eat out at restaurants😂. You won't see me complain however, because I would much rather live in a boring City with good roads and low traffic, than live in a city like Dalles or Austin where it will take you twice the time to drive where you need to go due to tourists, than it would here. Also I feel that it is important to note that what was said about our weather is very over exaggerated. I have been in college in Oklahoma City for the last year and they have much worse weather. I doubt think we had a single tornado last year in Lubbock, but we had three or four last year in Oklahoma city, and I was told by those who live in Oklahoma that tornados are a regular occurrence. That is not the case for Lubbock; we seldom get tornados. Our thunderstorms are also not as bad as this video would have you believe.
I lived in Laredo for 23 years and I’m glad I got the hell out of that town! I loved the food and how people are very family oriented but other than that, it’s a sh@t hole! The mentality of the people and everyone is overweight and ugly!
What??? Arlington is the family entertainment capital of the south, six flags , Dallas cowboy stadium, Texas rangers stadium wax museum a huge water park, and every restaurant that you can think of plus UT Arlington. And much much more just a few miles from Dallas and Ft Worth You just couldn't be more wrong about it. Your research is way off. Just don't think you have even been to Texas.
That's all crap and stats. Any place is what you make of it . I live on Texas coast about halfway between Galveston and Corpus . No pronouns or gay parades. No racial problems. Yes ma'am and no sir. 80 miles from Houston and the finest medical center in the country. Boring to one person is nice and quiet to another. Woods to the east, farmland to the west . 4 rivers to the Gulf of Mexico . Hurricanes. Yep. Mosquitos too. Oh well...
Dude u can hate on Texas if u want. But if I was u I would not let nobody know it the next time u are here. U might not like the greeting u will get . And the worst place in Texas is still better than any place else.
I've lived in Texas for 48 of my 60 years. I've lived in El Paso, Dallas, Fort Worth, Nacogdoches, College Station, Austin, and Houston. I can't recommend Texas as a place to live unless you have cancer. MDACC is the best thing Texas has going for it. Everything else is a negative. The weather, the traffic, the taxes, the shoddy home construction, the lack of culture, the Dark Ages politics, the lack of education (see: Portofino Center's Statue of David story), the lack of zoning, and the gross, filthy beaches. Nothing good. I'm moving out of state as soon as I can afford it.
I live in Austin and I have to say one thing outsider's stay out go back home. If Austin keeps growing there's not going to be anymore landscape it's going to be nothing but buildings.
Dallas is fn horrible lol the traffic no matter what time of the day is ridiculous, road rage everywhere drugs crime I don’t even stop at any gas stations in Dallas lol. There’s a quick trip on regal row that’s either getting robbed or someone getting shot and dying in the parking lot 🤦🏻♂️ most the quick trips have to have armed security guards 24/7 I fn hate my job is located in Dallas.

I was like "uh, are you sure."
For these types of videos, it’s best to go straight to the comments 👌😊
What metric shows Dallas and Fort Worth as expensive, and not mention a word about Austin and Houston which are way more expensive than DFW? I think you have biased or bad information. The biggest part of your "10 worst" list are boarder towns which are now directly dealing with mass illegal migration.
Cost of living in Dallas is much higher than Austin and Houston
The video stated that Dallas (and Ft. Worth) are expensive and that's one of the main reasons not to move there. Austin is significantly more expensive than Dallas and wasn't even mentioned. That's my point.
Austin is more expensive.
Houston isn’t nearly as expensive as Austin or Dallas. That said, I’d lap like to hear more on what makes Dallas one of the most expensive in the country. I can think of plenty more expensive areas. And not a little more but a lot more.
I like how they just grabbed some random facts for each city and cobbled them together. Zero continuity. This feels like something Gavin Newsom put together as a hit piece.
It’s a chat GTP script. So they pull off the most recent census and other random sites.
How in the hell is Dallas-Fort worth on this list and not Austin. Austin is a more expensive city to live in than DFW.
Because it's just one guys opinion.
I’ve lived in McAllen my whole life. I love it here. It’s very affordable to live here unlike other places including Austin.
Live in Harlingen. This asshole is bashing the rio grande valley. Lol
Are retirees counted in that unemployment rate mentioned? Loads of retirees used to flock to McAllen and live happily ever area. Perhaps whomever wrote this piece didn't do all of his/her homework. I heard a lot of statements "out there" with regard to some of the Texas cities and towns...things that no respectable, honest Texan would conclude unless they weren't aware of all of the facts.
With so many moving from CA to TX, I pray that TX doesn't politically the way of CA.
@@SS-tf6kvMost likely
I lived in McAllen and then moved to Mission. It's a pleasant place - and I've enjoyed living in the Rio Grande Valley.
Lol Lubbock is an amazing town to live in!
Austin, Do not move to Austin!
Amen! My husband and I lived there for several years, including back when it was a small, quirky city. We were married in a park there in 1975. It's turned into a beast. I have lived in 14 different cities in eight different states, and have visited many others. Austin has the very worst traffic. I have driven on the 405, in SoCal, during rush hour, and it flowed more smoothly than Austin traffic. Austin is also flamingly Leftist, so chances are you won't be happy there, unless you're a Commie. Great music scene though.
@@texas2step266yes I hate that traffic in Austin big highways living in Big cities are not for me
@@rodneyrainey2021I know what you mean. I learned to drive in San Antonio, when it was about half as big as it is now. I'm OK on highways if they're moving. SA is now all construction, and Austin is all congestion, all the time. I often wish I lived in a small town.
@@texas2step266 Even when you go to Atlanta here comes all that Traffic I can’t do it
Good. Stay tf out of here
This is what happens when people make videos about places they have never been to. A better Top Ten would be the cities that Americans are fleeing, like San Francisco, Chicago, New York et al and then compare them to the population loss in these so-called "worst towns.
I actually graduated from Monterey highschool in the 1970s and it's always been a rough town that you can have a traffic jam going to church. It's not very different than most other fast growing cities
AMEN I'm a native TEXAN know your facts first don't talk crap about places you know nothing about moron
People vote with their feet and their wallets. They flee hell holes like S.Francisco, Detroit, Chicago and others. But, there are 2 another mitigating huge factors; how many people on welfare and foodstamps, and how many of the population work for the government. These are obvious hell holes, full of dirty, child mutilating, living /born child killing liberals and the poor.

This guy doesn’t know what he is taking about. I was born and raised in Dallas and lived around the country because of the military and Dallas and Arlington are one of the best places to live. Minimum wages workers can’t live in Arlington because Arlington is very bougie lol and so is downtown Dallas.
High 90s is pretty much typical for summer temperatures anywhere in Texas. I love it.
That’s what I don’t like about Texas. I was born here and likely die here, but can’t stand the summers. This year, at least it’s gree, but I went outside after 9 tonight and the heat was still like an oven.
@@BradTaylor-n8t I love a hot Texas night. Sexy times 😉
Actually homes are getting harder and harder to find in Brownsville due to Space X and people flooding the area to work there.

I live in California been here all my life 36 years old now and it's time for a new chapter , I'm moving to Texas
You dont have any authority buddy to tell where people can move to , I don't agree with a lot of the politics of California so don't paint every person from California like that , we all are not surfer dudes and rich people like the Kardashians, that's just the social media propaganda that's spread to you from here , theres a lot of hard working Americans here that just want a better life or a fresh start somewhere else
If there's a lot of Californians that do go to Texas to change policies then I dont know what to tell you bud , Texas is slowly turning into a California as well because of the rich California people and companies that moved there and want to take guns away just like they did in California

Beaumont always gets a bad wrap because we get lumped in with Port Arthur which is nothing but refineries and gangland, but in the past 2 years there has been a rise in crime. It’s becoming like Houston where everyone lives on the outskirts and drive in for work.
Beaumont is just overall a terrible place.
That's why I moved away from the cities in Texas to some isolated land with few neighbors and lots of animals. Peaceful and quiet.
Don't forget about that shiitehole Vidor, TX. It should have been named Spicnter, TX, 'cause all the shiite flow to it.
Makes me feel fortunate about being in El Paso. Despite it's distance, we manage to avoid the horros of the winter blackout. Only concern: political chichanery from State Admins.
Yes, please tell people not to move to Lubbock. I'm guessing the crime rates get skewed because the town's size makes it big enough to have crime but it doesn't have a big enough population to make the percentage lower. It's honestly a lot safer than a lot of other towns in Texas.
The house prices have doubled
You’ve convinced me and I promise I’ll never move to Lubbock. Plus, it’s literally the flattest, most dust flying, least attractive town in this entire state. Seriously, I promise you I’ll die before I live in tat ugly town. So, no thanks
Bruh lubbock is fucked.
I agree. I've lived here for a long time and it's not any worse than any other city lol. And extreme weather is an overstatement lol. Mostly just lots of wind
@@karlwithak. if you’re looking at violent crimes per capita your total population would be the denominator. The larger the population, the larger the denominator. So having a larger denominator gives you a better chance to lower your crime rate. From a statistical standpoint, you get a smaller sample of the population which causes you to deviate from the mean. I’m just shooting from the hip here, but figured I’d clear things up a little
I have to wonder who produced this . I grew up in Lubbock , and have lived in Arlington /Fort Worth and Dallas . I'm not about to defend any of these places honor , but I don't believe the narrator has ever even been to Texas .
He even showed frisco and mckinney clips for arlington
@@jefferydowdenI was thinking the same thing.
I live in Lubbock, and yes it is boring. But his crime stats are off. Yes there is lots of homicides and crime, but having a 1/16th chance of getting involved in a violent crime is not true.
I live in Lubbock and I hardly hear anything about the crime. Or maybe I just don’t watch the news. 🤨
@@jefferydowden WHAT THE FUUUCK. THOSE AREAS ARE LITERALLY ONE OF TEXAS'S BEST CITIES.
Most if not all these cities are Blue. Even though most of Texas is Red. 🤷🏼♂️Go figure.
Born in Borger.... left for CA years ago and so glad we did. I went back in '05 and the place was dusty, dry, and dead. The lake stank of bad fish, the town reeked of oil refining and there was nothing to do but hit the local dive bar or head for Amarillo. Other than the decline in the lake and the closing of 80% of everything, nothing has changed there. I've never gone back and never want to now.
Tell your Arizona friends to go to california with you.
Glad you moved on. Share the horror stories with the rest of CA.
Dallas Ft. Worth is too crowded also. Traffic jams everywhere you go. Also someone gets shot here just about every day.
many people every day just like that shithole houston
FYI Hidalgo tx is different from Hidalgo County Monte alto is not Hidalgo tx but it's part of Hidalgo county... Also Hidalgo Tx is home to one of biggest artists know as Ramon Ayala and the biggest festival know and Border fest plus its schools are fine and the soccer team are the recent state Champs know it's way different from Monte alto .... please be mindful of this information

Funny he mentioned DFW when he just mentioned Arlington, Tx which is in the DFW Metro area.
Hidalgo is the perfect place to grow a family low crime rate not one single homeless person great schools and a close community ! Not to mention lots of events hosted by the city
Definitely all perspective!
Dude, there are plenty of homeless in Hidalgo. You just don't see them Cuz there are plenty of brush for them to sleep under.
And the fajita Cook off is jot enough to entice people to come here.
The biggest draw is our close relationship to Reynosa and it's maquilas. Hidalgo grew because of Nafta.
Plain and simple.
You are kidding right?
👏👏👏👏👏
@@rolandbachmann1743 first of all what homeless person sleeps in brush ? Second of all you typically see homeless people asking for money which are nowhere to be found in the city of Hidalgo and I’m pretty sure you might be talking of Hidalgo county as a whole and anyways why does it matter how the city or county grew this country was founded on the harsh labor of slaves and stealing from the native so doesn’t get much lower than that
Don't ever live in Mesquite, the bottom of your car will look like shredded cheese, the streets are absolutely horrible. You will need an alignment nearly weekly!!
It grew because people from California flocked to Texas
Yep you’re right about that!

Trust me Texas was and is fine.
I am born and raised in McAllen and love it. But if you're moving here then plan on looking for work don't im 46 and have worked since i wad 15 but once i left home to live on my own had to work in the oil field to make good money now i work in IT for a large company still love McAllen and dont plan on ever moving
This video is bogus. Not enough activities in Arlington? You kidding me!
Yes in DFW are we know alot of people have moved here!because OUR TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE..never had traffic problems before and fast drivers are bad.
You forgot Killeen
I noticed that the narrator separated Arlington from Dallas-Fort Worth but it along with many other cities are in between those two large distinct cities in an area known as the “mid-cities” region.
Texas A&M is in College Station. Prairie View A&M is NOT to be confused with it. they're not the same.

The disclaimer at the beginning that everyone is entitled to their opinion immediately disqualifies objectivity. Data used was provided at least mostly by private studies; which will only say what the money tells them to say. My biased list from 10 to 1 would be Beaumont (boring), Austin (expensive), Houston (crime, traffic), Corpus Christi (heat, malaise), Laredo (heat, crime), Port Arthur (hurricanes, malaise), Lake Jackson (malaise, boring), Pasadena (smell, crime, heat), Bellmead (crime, crime, more crime), and Vidor (overt racism).
Beaumont/Port Arthur......murder murder murder
Dallas Ft worth? lol! that's a nice city. go Plano and Frisco area, beautiful !
I live between Dallas and Ft. Worth. Two different cities. 🙄
I live in the valley and it's stretches from Brownsvill all the way to Laredo.. all these data collected on are bs .. come down and find out your self .. u gunna love it here
Whoever did *research* for this should be barred from public information jobs.
What makes the RGV rank so low is the proximity to the border, and all the issues that come with that’s, health care is the pits, I worked in that industry over 20 years 15 of them in the mid valley, grew up in Brownsville but had to leave, best choice I made back in 2004, moved to Harlingen mid valley area had some potential, but typical valley style growth, and the allure to bring innovative industries to the RGV never took off, so like any other valley city, if you don’t work in Politics, Healthcare, Law enforcement, or Education there isn’t any other other major industry where one can work and thrive. The lower RGV is also one of the lowest incomes levels in the country, and has the highest recipients of Medicaid and other gov subsidies. As compared to other metro areas in the state minimum wage is still around 7.75 to 8.00 starting,
Well I'm in the RGV also. It's nice here but, property taxes are very high and it's very hot here. High 90s to 116 or so. Hard to do things out in that hot weather. It's easy to move around, we have some very nice roads here. Car prices here tend to be higher. I think that is due to a monopoly on the business. I think they could combine several towns like McAllen, Mission, Alton, Edinburgh and a few more into one city. These towns are all continguous. It's not bad here. We have everything any other city has and a lot more peaceful than many other cities.
I'm in the RGV. Let them keep saying it's bad here. Maybe it'll keep more people from moving here.
Emolga

Lubbock is arguably more fun than Dallas. Going out is inexpensive and college sports are also cheap.
If you live in Brownsville, TX, please comment your opinions on the city and on South Padre Island. I was thinking of moving around there. Thank you!
There’s nothing there just the beach which is like 20min away
@@texasdoublemeat Do you not enjoy living there? Besides the beach being close by, are there any pros or any more cons? I’m trying to move to a location that’s more affordable but still near a beach. Is employment alright in that area? Thank you!
I lived there for 6 years. You would do better to move to Harlingen. The entire RGV sucks. It's like living in a 3rd world country. South Padre Island is about 25 miles from either & is NOTHING like the beaches in Florida or CA.
@@GOPGOP-bk2yy I’ll look into Harlingen, thank you so much!
@@SophiePix1 Also remember they do get hurricanes. The one I was there for in 2008 had substantial flooding etc. If you're into book stores, you will have to go to McAllen which is 50+ miles from Brownsville & 26 miles from Harlingen. About the only thing I miss about the RGV is the food.
Port Arthur, Texas definitely needs to be on this list. Some people call it the armpit of Texas and bleak dot on the coast. Others refer to it as the asshole of Texas...this has a lot to do where it's located.
You can thank Biden's open border policy for most of these problems. Especially the border towns.
What's worse is the threats from cartels against our officers, increased corruption, it's always a problem. Take it from a Mexican like me. It's really that bad
Yes tell people not move Austin n San Antonio because there just as bad in crime as far as homeless people there in all the states not just Texas I was born and raised here and I wouldn't move no place I love my state so if you can't hang don't come to Texas
Prairie View, is the home of Prairie View A&M University, not Texas A&M and majority of the people who stay there are College Student. Most working adults stay in the neighboring towns.
That's "Prairie View A&M" NOT Texas A&M.. Also those salary stats are largely based on lower income college students which alsi accounts for the majority of the population.
My family is from Ellis county. Absolutely not the Texas of my ancestors. Women use to be respected. Now no health care and tons of misogyny.
Monte Alto school disctrict is not even in the city of Hidalgo it is on Hidalgo county but a good 40 mins away from Hidalgo.
Most of these opinions are true. I didn't live in any of these towns or cities mentioned. If you live in Arlington at least you have the other cities surrounding Dallas/Ft. Worth.
I'm surprised you didn't do my Hometown Corpus Christi Texas lately. It actually was ranked number 7 on the most dangerous places to live in the nation.

@@TeutonicTribe Why. Texas is business friendly. Big cities are prosperous, but the rest of the state struggles economically? It just seems like there should be some balance.
@@markrichards6863It's not that bad honestly
I used to work for a wireless internet provider, and many of these towns were among where we provided service. Arguably I'm sure the boredom factor in these panhandle towns helped business aside from a slight advantage in speed's previous unmatched by line of sight connectivity (until Starlink), or cellular plans (data limits/caps).
Musk's Starlink is not just a help for Ukraine military communication but, defeating Putin's aggression is a GREAT side benefit!
I definitely don't trust the validity of any of your stats. The Rio Grande Valley, home to Laredo, Hidalgo, McAllen and Brownsville was the only region in all of Texas to see economic growth during the Pandemic. While there may be high poverty rates, everything is so cheap here that even the poor have housing. Nothing like poverty in Corpus Christi, Dallas, Austin, Houston or San Antonio where you see homeless camps.
Dallas, Arlington, Fort Worth... 3 distinctively separate cities, each with their own mayor, political, and voter base, are all part of the D/FW area spanning across multiple counties. All three have a plethora of entertainment, commerce, and residential options for each tax bracket despite cost of living differences. Arlington is in Tarrant County. Dallas is in the neighboring Dallas County. Yet the official stadium for the Dallas Cowboys is in Arlington. But that does not make them the same city.
All the same 😅

From this Texans POV, half of the cities on this list are on the US/Mexico border. I'll give anyone 3 guesses why those particular cities are not the most ideal locations to move to. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to many, the Mexican cartels operate the border on both sides and have for many years. Hopefully, when a border wall is fully implemented, we will see substantial imprivements. That is whst we anticipate anyhow.
Yes, Lubbock is boring. It sits practucallybon the middle of the state. It is a college town and the closest larger cities are Amarillo & Abikene, both which are just as boring as Lubbock.
Arlington surprised me as it is home to the Texas Rangers and the Cowboys. Also, Six Flags abd Hurricane Harbor (formerly Wet n' Wild). But even more than this, Arlington is the central point fir Dallas/Ft Worth which makes everything accessible depending on which way one goes.
Dallas/Ft Worth surprised me not because of cost of living but because anything and everything one could wish to do is somewhere around here.
What truly makes things horrible, especially here in DFW is traffic! Too many people moving here too fast. I know it's a great state but if people continue to move here at this rate, we won't be for long.
Any Texas town with heavily Hispanic population is a horrible place to live . 😢😢 Sad but true .
I believe who made this video should come to the city of McAllen and check it out. I LOVE McAllen. I believe it is a great city with so much growth and potential. There are a ton of businesses and kind and hardworking people.
McAllen has a trhiving mall that has withstood the test of time. it is impressive! They have every brand you can think of. There are a ton of stores filled with merchandise, a ton of mom and pop businesses, a ton of infrastructure growth... freeways, stores, houses. None of that would be happening in the worst city to live in. I do appreciate the great laugh I had, because i just bought a house here and LOVE IT! Best kept secret! Shh!
Beautiful Texan City theme park for adults!
Shhhh!!
I love it too
You cited DFW (after trashing Arlington, a suburb of Fort Worth in Tarrant County where Dallas is in Dallas County. Arlington has The Dallas Cowboys football Team, The Texas Rangers baseball team along with the original Six flags over Texas) but you barely mentioned Fort Worth. Dallas and Fort Worth are two entirely different cities 33 miles from downtown to downtown apart. I would not want to live in Dallas but Fort Worth is a very beautiful, spread out city, large but acts as a small Texas town. It is not a suburb of Dallas. And while very close they both are in two significantly different physical locations, Dallas in the rich blackland farming soil and Fort Worth part of the beginnings of the southern prairie of America, great for grazing cattle. Please, if you’re talking about not so good Texas cities, don’t lump Fort Worth in with Dallas. Please. Thank you.
I'm from and currently live in Beaumont. It indeed has gotten worse over the years,but I'm not worried about being robbed. I've got that well covered

With a name like Righteous Redneck, I'm not surprised.
I do not care what people say I love Lubbock. However the part about us being one of the most boring places, is highly accurate. There is nothing to do here except eat out at restaurants😂. You won't see me complain however, because I would much rather live in a boring City with good roads and low traffic, than live in a city like Dalles or Austin where it will take you twice the time to drive where you need to go due to tourists, than it would here.
Also I feel that it is important to note that what was said about our weather is very over exaggerated. I have been in college in Oklahoma City for the last year and they have much worse weather. I doubt think we had a single tornado last year in Lubbock, but we had three or four last year in Oklahoma city, and I was told by those who live in Oklahoma that tornados are a regular occurrence. That is not the case for Lubbock; we seldom get tornados. Our thunderstorms are also not as bad as this video would have you believe.
Del Rio is NOT a bad place to live. Yes, it's hot 🥵, but we have a.c.

You just couldn't be more wrong about it. Your research is way off. Just don't think you have even been to Texas.

I can't recommend Texas as a place to live unless you have cancer. MDACC is the best thing Texas has going for it. Everything else is a negative. The weather, the traffic, the taxes, the shoddy home construction, the lack of culture, the Dark Ages politics, the lack of education (see: Portofino Center's Statue of David story), the lack of zoning, and the gross, filthy beaches. Nothing good.
I'm moving out of state as soon as I can afford it.
