People moving here from California like crazy but, is it really that special? A deeper look proves its really not all that different than many other towns in the region.
You spent almost 17 minutes driving around the northern part of the loop around Tyler. You didn't show any of the city itself, or the nicer neighborhoods (like Cumberland Estates)... the south side of Tyler is a much nicer part of the city. Tyler has pretty much any thing you want regarding shopping and restaurants... and excellent healthcare facilities. There are several city parks... Rose Rudman has a very nice hiking trail. Faulker and Lindsey parks have very good mountain bike trails. Unfortunately, a LOT of people have moved to Tyler of the past several years, so traffic, particularly on the loop and on Broadway, has become very frustrating. And the cost of housing has increased considerably. And it's true... the religious folk living there can be a bit self-righteous. Although I don't live there anymore, I found it a good place to live.
You know what many people are moving to Tyler because they hate what they are coming from. Tyler is set in its ways and that’s okay. Some outsiders want to change Tyler as a whole. Then get offended when their mindsets and thoughts are not accepted.
You seem to be overly critical of some places. The world doesn't revolve around you, every place is different and you should try to see the good in every place as well as the not so good. There is no perfect place. Why not just enjoy your travels and be more positive because not everybody can afford to travel whenever or wherever they want to. It's all good.
These guys are crybabies, entitled crybabies, if you dont like it then take a hike! people are moving here like mad, because it's a great place to live, people from Colorado, California, Wyoming are moving to East Texas in Droves, its a great place to live, bullied you? What soft little Snow Flakes, go back to the Dump you call home...
Small towns, country towns are laid back. There is no rush whatsoever. That's the way it is in the country. Most people are retired. Young people have no major motivation their upbringings are laid back being taught by their parents. Maybe those that move there are looking for a slower paced lifestyle. Maybe they grew in a fast-paced environment and now are looking for something a little different. Depending on where they are from going into a small town there is also an air or feeling that it's safer in the country. It can be nice if you don't over think it.
Not sure if you figured it out, but when you turned right that was a wrong turn. If you had continued straight another 100 yards or so, you would have hit 271. No need to drive the back roads to get from one big town to the next. We've been the the Tyler area for 15 years now. Overall, we're glad we moved here. But, we've definitely encountered some of the problems you mentioned, like snobbery and bullying. The "Holier-than-thou" faux Christians here really take the cake.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS and as far as Christianity goes, yes, Christians are sinners. That’s the whole point of the Christian doctrine. That’s why they need a savior
Heck, you spent the whole drive going out of Tyler. It would've be much better had you turned left on HWY 31, which was the first red light you came to when you pulled out of Starbuck's. You were less than 3 miles from downtown.
That's another thing that bothers me as a life long Texan. People from other states move here. Hate it and end up going back. The schools are so small here and it's being overpopulated. Do they know how tx is? It's not Cali at all. There are no palm trees, celebrities, mountains....its all flatland lol. Cattle and horses. Fields. Maybe the cities are ok but not really. Not the same luxery like you would see in Cali 🤔
Texas has palm trees beaches too Ive been here 12 yrs lol..def saw palms in Houston Galveston Corpus Victoria etc.. and celebrities come to Houston and Dallas all the time
@@evildork6805 true facts.. I came from Detroit though, so anything was better than remaining in my city aesthetic wise at least😂😂I also lived in Southern California for 5 yrs straight, so I can tell they all have their bad & good
Tyler is a nice city if you stay south of downtown. We here in Texarkana think it's bougie as hell. They get a Torchy's Tacos and we get jealous lol. Tyler has grown REALLY quickly in the last 25 years too. I would definitely live there if I had to.
It's very racist also, you can go to the Caucasian restaurants and try to have a decent meal. Either they look at you strange when you sit down by them or the waiter's make you pay for the food before you get it. They assume that you are going to eat and run.They are so ignorant 😤😤
As I native Californian I can speak from experience that those fleeing California to places like Tyler, Texas mostly aren't pretending. They tend to be the sort of people to already drive a big pickup truck for example. They are leaving the Golden state because they DON'T fit in here so well anymore (though we actually still have a lot of big trucks in our suburbs and small towns, that's everywhere now) and they are gladly assimilating to Texas ways.
As a sixth generation Californian, it has nothing to do with 'fitting in'. It has everything to do with how deeply dysfunctional and corrupt California has become. The combination of single-party rule with the general apathy and ignorance of the typical California voter is a toxic mix. 40% of Los Angeles Country is on Medicaid. Our K12 schools rank near the bottom now. We have the highest poverty rate when adjusted for cost of living. Our taxes are off the charts, only to pay for trains to nowhere and tens of billions in unemployment fraud during COVID. I'm old enough to have known California when it was the envy of the country.
@@norwegianblue2017 - My Sister grew up with me here in NTX. She now lives with her Husband in Glendale CA. He grew up there and likes it there. They're lucky because he grew up with money, when his parents died, they left everything to him. They rarely go into LA.
Say Vato this is a great place to raise a family I been hear since 1997 it's been a blessing I'm originally from California 😂🤣 don't be discourage there always are going to be bad apple's where ever you go trust me the culture hear is Texas pride man email me next time you're in Tyler Tejas bro I'll take you to some good taco's. No te aguites God bless you both.
Tyler isn't overrated, I don't hear a lot about Tyler from San Antonio. I don't care too much for top ten lists - the lists always seem to change the next year. I'd like to visit Tyler.
I spent a good several months in the Tyler area, Smith County. 1979-82 Working and going to school. Loved the climate and friendly people, over all. Coming from British Columbia I'd never seen that kind of poverty contrasted by Texas money. No one seems to mention the black population, mainly in N Tyler. Like many towns in the south Tyler houses two distinct socioeconomic worlds, and I might add there are very high numbers of Caucasians living in poverty. There's three cultures Caucasian, African American and Hispanic. Like many towns in Texas there's a division and you better stay in your own lane. So what kind of Texas town is Tyler? Like many others in the State. In a time warp and severely out of touch. It reflects on this drive though. Summary - Tyler is a dump!
I lived in Tyler most of life it's a laid back place I recently moved to Austin Texas just to do something different every body knows everybody in Tyler I miss it but don't miss it...
I had the same radio come after me. they are bullies and happen to be very mean. Tyler sucks. They are so down right ugly that it makes you want to leave today. It use to be a very nice place.
Moved to tyler a month ago. Its ok, but it is not for me. People ARE NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL!!! Companies and modes of operations are dysfunctional and highly lack any professionalism. Racism is well and ALIVE in Tyler. If you are from California or anywhere else, my recommendation, DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! Once my lease is up, I am out of the whole state of TEXAS!!!
Well yeah tylers a small town compared to dallas and austin so its gonna feel "over rated". But putting it in a category with towns similar to its demographic its a nicer place
Living here my whole life the bullying is terrible. You get your group of welcoming people and then there's the douchebags you want to stay far away from 😂
I never ever understood thr hype about Tyler! I used to live in marshall about 1 hr east of there as a little kid for a couple years and i couldnt stand it. We would have to drive 2.5 hrs to DFW for stuff to do

Yes. Well said. For those of us from south Tyler, north tyler barely even exists

In Dallas, I've seen young ethnic guys, eat and run. I don't know how often that happens in other areas.
because that is what happens,.

I hear Tyler Texas has very large homes for a reasonable price compared to other areas. That could count for its popularity
