Highland Park is nuts, went to lunch in that area on Friday and I was blown away by the cars and homes (Southlake too, Carrol Dragons Stadium was pretty impressive). We are kind of set on the burbs though. After a year in lockdown we have decided having a yard is a non negotiable. What blows my mind is that all the new builds are the exact same style of home all over the DFW, like doesn't matter which town you go to. The wife is happy though, because she found a house she liked near where she grew up.

are you officially in the US now or heading back to Portugal?
I noticed that all the burbs around Austin look the same too. New developments all have the same architectural style & I got so sick of seeing light colored and/or stone on houses.
I used to say my dream job was just coming up with names of subdivisions and their streets. Whispering Leaf Ridge. Cascading Falls Court. Bridgestone Estates.
Juice and District should have a competition, one week, most number of posts with derogatory comments, complaining, or negativity wins.
