lance I live in addison now.
chronologically I lived: downtown elm street lower greenville the village addison I gave up on trying to live anywhere rad in this city....it truly is all the same. now I just have more sq footage and less scenester emo kids to deal with. for some reason snotty yuppies are less offensive to me than hipsters... _____________________ QUOTE I guess I am really inspired by Europe and how they deal with transportation and growing cities. People barely drive in most major cities, they take trains, buses, and walk. It's a great way to live. you'd love living in NYC then. god that ruled. |

I live in an area that isn't sprawling with yuppies (Valley Ranch), but they are pretty much everywhere. I get decent sq footage for the money and I live close to DFW.

And therein lies the problem. We love our space, even in New England, suburbanization is going to kill this country. Hell, I'd love to take a 30 minute train to work, I could get a ton of crap done. yeah if i moved to dallas or houston and had to work downtown i'd prob hate it. i'm extremely lucky right now in that i have a 3 mile drive to work. i bought my truck brand new mid june and have a total of 2200 miles on it |

But yeah, I really want to live in Chicago or Boston. Chicago = sky-high housing costs... if you think Dallas is expensive then you're really going to think Chicago is expensive. Even 2 hours from downtown about the best you can find is a 200k townhome. Boston = stuck up biatchs, and cold. |

never heard of the village, where's that at? living on lower greenville had to be cool, looks like you keep moving further out, pretty soon you'll be in mckinney, then oklahoma The Village is (from what I've been told) north of Mockingbird and extends east of 75. It includes highland park village and the Village Apartments (east of 75). Chicago = sky-high housing costs... if you think Dallas is expensive then you're really going to think Chicago is expensive. Even 2 hours from downtown about the best you can find is a 200k townhome. Boston = stuck up biatchs, and cold. I've found a few places in Chicago inside the loop for 180k that are comparable to what I would buy here. Chicago is just as cold if not colder than Boston, but that doesn't bother me. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

never heard of the village, where's that at? living on lower greenville had to be cool, looks like you keep moving further out, pretty soon you'll be in mckinney, then oklahoma lower greenville was fun for a year. but for what I paid and what I got, it sucked. plus on the weekends trying to drive anywhere was lame. by 'the village' I mean the village apartments...it's not one apt, rather a whole community/park/country club deal. it rules for youngish singles. tons of shit to do, group packages to mavs games and stuff. I called it college part 2 because it seemed like everyone there had graduated within the past few years and everyone still had that funtime allthetime outlook. if you're new to dallas and haven't really met anyone to hang out with or date I HIGHLY advise moving there. |

hahaha no nothing like that...
all the carryin'-on is at the clubhouse and club pool. during summertime there's bands and radio spots and whatnot. of course poolside bar. it's not a sausagefest or fratdaddy hangout. it's fun. |
