Cheaper, bigger, walk to work, better neighborhood, built-in jacuzzi? What's the question??
DFW likes to think of itself as LA/San Fernando. Autonomous transportation is pritmuch a given. There's even a line about it in I Love Lucy from 1955. At which time I was 9yo and taking the bus to movies. Next door was an appliance store and I rummaged through their dumpster. Where I collected/repaired timers and connected them to things in blatant disregard for electrical and fire codes. Anyhow, not that I'm any big whoop-- I was only a medium whoop 10 years ago and lost a lot of rating since then-- but I'm within practical distance of downtown Fort Worth. | ||

 You may get by without a car if you don't much need to venture outside the local neighborhood. Large metro areas such as DFW have reasonable public transportation choices. Small town don't. My house is 1.5 to 4 miles distance from "town" depending what's the destination. There's a jitney-bus route in town but I'd have to walk some distance to a stop. Was a taxi some years ago but IIRC the owner/driver died and I'm not aware that anyone picked up the business. There's no Sears, JCPenney, Dillards, Macy's, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Nearest shopping malls are one hour-ish. How would I get there without a car? Bicycle? Greyhound bus? Hitchhike? | ||

Close to work is a big +++. I have a 30yo car with only 90k on it because I was always close to work. Commute time is such a waste, besides the aggravation.
I've spent maybe 3 hours in Dallas since 1972 so I have no idea which neighborhoods are what. Ask the other folks who work there. I do know that Dallas cops kill an average of a dozen people a year while Fort Worth cops kill an average of one person every OTHER year. | ||

What? (and I know the difference between "what" and "pardon") In my city in Brazil cops kill 12 PER WEEK (not literally) Criminals kill 12 per minute (again not literally) I'm begging my manager to transfer me to FTW. Next step will be playing a drama queen, kiss his foot, start crying and saying please daddy, i want a pony, I want a Play doo set, i want crayons, i want a golden fish err i want to be transfered to FTW. | ||
