We just got back from visiting DFW. We lived there forty-plus years and just two years ago moved to a small rural suburb of KCMO. After being away from DFW for two years and living in a small area, one notices how massive the metroplex is. Even KCMO and Johnson County, KS. are decent-sized metro areas; it is nothing like what DFW has become.
Tolls, traffic, and other factors, such as the distance between places you want to go, are overwelling. We live in a 5-mile radius now. Our two cars haven't seen 10 k in two years, between them.
Sure there are a lot of things we miss. DFW is growing and has always eluded high-energy, growth, and booming hustle. Every bit of food and entertainment one could wish for. It is the place for younger folks to be.
Now at our stage of life. The more bucolic and quiet life find more appeal. DFW has become like NYC. It is often said, "they're nice places to visit, but I won't like to live there." Not at our stage of life anyway.
