I bought a city house in FL cause I couldn't afford land in Texas. I flipped it three years later and afforded land in Texas and built the house. That St. Pete house has almost kept pace with what I own here, price wise. Could've sat on my dead ass instead but it was on 5th avenue and that street was like a race track all day and night.
The real deciding factor for me is when we had gunshots in the neighborhood (a nice neighborhood) one night and there was a police chopper lighting up my back yard. I cleared it myself cause I wasn't going to have cops back there on principle but in the meantime the family was hid out in the back bedroom with their heads down. To be honest we've had a couple similar incidents out here but I have dogs now and I have several additional tactical advantages built into the place.
I've never had problems with the homeless or others in downtown Austin. I befriended several of the more level headed ones. Five-ten bucks builds a ton of loyalty vs the usual morons you meet down there. No one ever messed with me or my rig save one night when my bro was new in town some drunk walked by and grabbed his beard. Since that's an assault before I knew what happened I had shoved the guy to the ground with a vengeance and was ready to pounce on him and hand out a beating but his girlfriend was so horrified and upset I knew she would deal out more damage than I could come morning so I let him go.![]()
My neighborhood is ultra-quiet, but the City has a way of encroaching eventually where it doesn't belong....
I can't imagine living in a country like England where it's apparently almost impossible to escape this kind of shit for the average Briton. I'd be a lawbreaker if I lived there, because I wouldn't be walking around unarmed in a War Zone.
