In terms of overall value, how will you rate these top Collin County cities from 1st to 3rd?
Plano > Mckinney > Frisco

Or are there other cities better than these three in the county?

HP > Plano > south lake > Mckinney > flower mound. Frisco is absolutely terrible, I just don’t get the ranking and draw. It’s all dentists and doctors offices.

I’m not sure you understand the boundaries of HP and UP (which share a school district). There is a Target in NW HP + 2 more just East. Tons of other conveniences at Preston Center, Snider Plaza, North Park, Inwood, etc. UP is bounded on 3 sides by Preston Hollow, Bluffview/Greenway, and HP. On the east side (really just NE corner) has some non-affluent areas (eg. Vickery). Not much different that the parts of Vickery and area by UTSW that border HP.

Anyways, it’s a weird distinction. Most people, including residents, treat the Park Cities as a single entity and, along with Preston Hollow, would consider them premier neighborhoods in Dallas. Very different vibe collectively than Collins/Denton.

We shopped HP/UP/Plano a ton, optimizing for schools, and opted for better access to the city than Plano could provide.

Moved from Plano West to Allen and prefer it. I like that it’s one big high school vs broken out. Also a lot more diversity.

Collin County is huge. Even small pockets of cities such as Dallas, Garland, and Richardson are considered Collin County.

And big chunks of Frisco are Denton county

Should I complain to a firm's HR if the interviewers laughed at my answer during an interview? Maybe it sounded scripted but it was still heartfelt and genuine: my immigration story and how that made me appreciate the rule of law. I said it soo many times during OCI's that maybe it eventually sounded robotic, but for the interviewers to laugh and one to say sarcastically "nice elevator pitch", I thought was rude. Thoughts?

Hello! I am moving from NYC to Dallas in a few months. I currently don’t own a car so I am researching now on what vehicle to lease for the next 3 years. I’ve been told from someone who lives in Texas that it is not safe to get a small car because the roads there are “rough” and that most drivers own suvs or trucks and drive really fast on the highways. I am originally from Miami—I don’t know how much worse the drivers can be? Lol. Would it be bad idea to get a Mini Cooper?
