watch this before moving to Texas in 2026

Описание: Everyone talks about the low rent, the BBQ, and how “great” Texas is.
Very few people talk about what actually happens when things go wrong.
After living in North Texas for over a decade—and sitting through yet another winter storm that shut everything down—I started seriously questioning whether moving to Texas is still worth it in 2026.
In this video, I talk about:
Texas winter storms and infrastructure failures
Why highways like I-35 and 635 are always under construction
The tradeoff between low cost of living and slow government response
Whether Texas still makes sense for young people in their 20s and 30s
Who Texas does work for—and who it probably doesn’t
This isn’t a hate video. It’s a lived-experience warning.
If you’re thinking about moving to Texas, especially Dallas–Fort Worth, you should probably hear this first.
Let me know in the comments:
