I just shot a load all over myself

It's Texas duh.

It's too far from the ocean so nobody wants to live there, and it's ghetto.

32nd Street and Thunderbird

I was born in Canada so I am not really sure what the rest of the US has against Texas... but I have never really spent any time there either. Can you expand on that other than saying it's Texas?

It's just not a desirable place to live. I'm not saying it's a bad place to live, but it's far from being a hotbed. Look into Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee, I'll bet you'll find more land for even cheaper.

Fort worth, I agree.

try dallas or plano.
Much nicer

I bet there are almost no IT jobs in those places too

Any other place in the country and this would be easily worth $1M.

So what's the deal on the property prices? What's the catch? Is the whole city built on an Indian burial ground and the dead walk at night or something? Might still be a good deal

I looked into moving down in that area for an IT position and found that the property taxes were really high as well as utilities, water, etc.

Thats even cheaper than Fresno California, which to me is a shithole. Being a shithole, its one of the few areas where you can buy a house for under 300k.

Most of the jobs are in the inner city (Downtown Fort Worth and Dallas) most people want to live close to thier job. That's one reason the land is cheaper out there. There's not a damn thing west of Fort Worth until of get to Phoenix.

Remember Texas has shitty weather sometimes.

The further you go outside the cities the cheaper the land becomes.

i heard of one guy in fort worth tesxas he was under neath his car working on it when some kkk members walked passed chatting about the price of sheets nowdays!,,,he looked out from underneath his car and they saw him,,,,his face was all black from the car grease as was his hands,,,,,the kkk members grabbed him and took him to the local park to string him up,,then it rained and the grease washed off and he was saved,,the kkk members thought it was a miracle tree,,that turns nigra,s into decent white folk,,now they all worship this tree

Here in lovely Huntsville Alabama land prices are about the same as in TX. You can score a 3,000 sq ft (living space) and 1/2 acre for about 300 to 400K. Me and the Wife bought a 2,200 sq ft(living space) w 2car garage and 1/2 acre lot about 20 miles from Huntsville out in the country and it ran us about 190K

O yeah we have shitty tornadoes also
