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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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. Luckily I don’t live there but there’s nothing that would make me want to move to Dallas
