Toronto to Texas?

Got a visa that will lead to a green card through my current company. Currently in Toronto and can stand the politics and high cost of living. Company is allowing me to work remote from anywhere I want so I am considering moving to Texas and building a family there. Does anyone think Dallas is decent? Nice play to live?

As someone who went to college in Texas (lived a while near Dallas as well) and then MFin in Canada. Ideally, I wouldn’t want to end up in either Toronto or Texas.

That aside, Dallas is very cost-friendly (slowly getting expensive due to Californization), but there is nothing much to do. 
Like the guy above said, you can drive for 12 hours in TX and still be in TX, haha. 

Got plenty of cool guns though and taxes are sweet. I fucking miss those taxes. 

If you want a family, it could be a nice and relatively affordable place to live. Just the occasional school shootings though.
