Your work location should drive your selection of living arrangement.

Psychiatry residency: I'll guess Baylor, UT Southwestern, or Parkland. Those are all closer to downtown Dallas than anything in the suburbs, so any neighborhood or apartment complex (safe, convienent, affordable - pick two) north of I-30 and south of 635, west of 75 and east of I-35 will be tolerable.

DART is great, it is clean and efficient; but it's usefulness depends entirely on your starting point and your destination. It does not offer a comprehensive means of moving around the area in a timely manner. (I used it for four years to commute. That was possible because I had an apartment a short walk away from the station, and the job was likewise a short walk from the station on the other end.)

Public transportation is not a viable means of transport in DFW. Look at me: Public transportation is not a viable means of transport in DFW. You will need a car.

No snow. We get ice more regularly than accumulation of snow, so we have limited equipment or facilities to clear streets. Winter precipitation = armageddon.

End of April until end of September it's hotter than a two-dollar pistol, so outdoor activities are very limited.

Tex-Mex is distinct from Mexican food. Both are good, but it's not the same thing.

Liquor stores are closed on Sunday (and New Year's day too, I think).

Entertainment districts are spread out:

  • Deep Elum
  • Lower Greenville
  • Addison
  • Plano Legacy

Let me guess: This choad thinks that "before all this bullshit started happening to us" is any time before April 12, 1861.

I've been on Yggdrasil Linux since 1993. Now, get off my lawn, you punks!
