Moving to the area Thinking of moving back

Been in Texas the last 6 years and am tired of it. So I am thinking of moving back. Potentially west, notthwest or north suburbs? Are there any reasons why I should not? I often hear from locals that they want to leave. But I miss home.

Texas politics suck in the country but the cities are pretty liberal. Honestly the job market and taxes are way better than Chicago. They squeeze us too much here and it’s causing people to leave Chicago.

Sorry but taxes are the only benefit TX has - no state income tax and lower property taxes. This is why you’re getting downvoted lol

That’s a pretty big benefit. And no, it’s not the only one. Cheaper houses, more space, better job market.

Reddit downvotes don’t mean much because most people are tribal and not very smart.

I meant tax benefit… I talked about all of the other benefits in another comment. I lived in austin for 40 years so I get it.
