There’s jobs. They’re safe. They have stuff to do. Some kind of reason.

Nah, it’s just more affordable than most of the major cities up north. As someone who’s lived in Dallas/Fort Worth, it’s definitely not the safest place I’ve lived. It’s ranked moderate/high in violent crimes on a national scale.

As far as Texas goes, San Antonio and Austin have a lot more to do than Dallas and especially Fort Worth. I wouldn’t really even say there’s a really competitive job market outside of oil and grass. Most of the people who recently moved to the area did so after work from home became normalized.

It’s really just because it’s a larger city that people can still afford to purchase a home in, and that’s about it.
