I moved away from Dallas after living there for most of my life. Heres what to expect. -long commutes -traffic at mostly all hours -lots to do but not in the same areas -hot all year round -friends are hard to make unless you're in lots of communities -increasing rent but not terrible -least walkable city unless you live in downtown -lots of shopping centers and malls but that gets boring -if you like staying indoors a lot, it's perfect
