We live in the DFW area. The military sent us here in 2003 (we are from Los Angeles... MAJOR culture shock:) Anyway, the cost of living is very low and the homeschooling laws are great!! I love the fact that there is hardly any traffic and no long lines. The people...to be honest, we've experienced more racism living here than we have in our entire lives:( But, we've met some nice people, too. We've considered moving back to L.A., but the Lord has closed that door, so here we will stay until He says differently:)
