Brief
Chris Koerner (mhp_guy) defends living and running a business in Dallas—after moving there 12 years ago he cites a 10/10 school district, a 3-acre no-HOA lot 30 minutes from downtown, >$1M property appreciation, $12k/acre nearby land buys, direct flights and no state income tax, but warns property taxes are severe. He also circled DFW by bike, noting only ~4% bike lanes, a 64–73 mile struggle with 10–15 MPH headwinds, and many industrial areas amid stadiums and attractions.
Why it matters
Chris Koerner moved his business to Dallas 12 years ago, lives on 3 acres with no HOA, is 30 minutes from downtown and 35 minutes from DFW, reports his property appreciated by over $1M in a decade, is buying land 30 minutes away at $12k/acre, enjoys direct flights to Dubai/Bozeman and no state income tax, but warns 'property taxes will murder you.'
