4 Surprising Reasons Why More and More Texans Are Moving to Oklahoma! | Living in Oklahoma City

- Texans moving to Oklahoma? Yep! In this video, we'll discuss all the reasons that many Texans are moving from Texas to Oklahoma, pulling up stakes and heading north, fed up by 1) increased violent crime, 2) increased traffic, 3) higher taxes, and 4) an increased cost of living, not to mention an increasing lack of affordable housing. Not only that, many Texans are concerned that the huge influx of transplants from other states and Mexico either already have or eventually will erode the conservative values that Texans have long held dear, causing many to decide that Texas is no longer a place where they want to live and work, and for those with a family, where they want to raise their children. In this video, we'll discuss each one of these 4 categories mentioned above and compare each to what Oklahomans typically experience. Are you ready for a fresh start in Oklahoma? You're not alone. Thousands of your fellow Texans have made the move. Whether you're interested in moving to Oklahoma City, Edmond, or elsewhere local, call me, and let's talk about anything you'd like to cover. I'm sure I can assist and would love to answer all of your questions about a move to the Sooner State!

I was born and raised in Texas,and after 70 years,it has gotten so bad that I moved too Oklahoma too be with my daughter,I live next door too her,I have cousins here,and I love it,I'll never go back too Texas. Miss Audrey
Something worth considering, We don’t have the annual vehicle inspection requirement in Oklahoma….Texas has it.
One might think Okla has many unsafe cars on the road because of this….I would say-no more than any other state.
Antidotal story, my son bought a beautiful 2006 GTO for $7000 from his best friend. Why? Because his friend was moving to Dallas and there are too many vehicle inspection
restrictions in Dallas. The GTO would not pass without expensive re-modifications.
$7k for a vehicle that sells around $27,000 on todays market.
We have PLENTY of clean air in Okla because it gets changed almost daily….lol.
I'm moving to Oklahoma because of the crime just outside Ft Worth. No restrictions. Mobile homes and RVs moving in by the hundreds. New people who are moving out here are rude and unfriendly. Not at all what it used to be.
Thanks for the comment. Let me know if I can help whenever you decide to make the move!
Native Oklahomans are being priced out with so many out of state people moving in.

Great content! I love Oklahoma!!!
Me too! Thanks for the comment!
I think Oklahoma though defiantly leans red is pretty diverse in thought. I have lived in Edmond and okc and I think its pretty cool the differences of beliefs.
I agree. Thanks for the comment!
I live just 24 miles from Downtown Tulsa, Inola, OK. I have 5200 SQ FT Home (2 story) with 3 bedrooms (35 ft sq or bigger) F/R is 35 x 45, Kit & D/R, with 3 huge baths, a Huge Florida Room & a Shop in the back yard. 1.5 ac Gotta pair down, we are 82...
Just let me know if I can be of assistance. Would be happy to help. Totally understand the desire to downsize as we get older. My wife and I did just that...
My Daddy was in the military . We moved a lot but once we got to Oklahoma when I was 8 we stayed here. I have stayed in Texas a few times for short periods but always come back home, I am also in Temple and I love the small town vibe . We did live in Walters for years and I liked it there too .
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
OKC is blue now too.
Thanks for the comment. Certain precincts in OKC have voted blue in recent elections but overall, Oklahoma County (where the OKC metro is located) as a whole has traditionally voted red...
The only other reason may be the incredible humidity in Texas. Some of the coldest winters I ever experienced were in Houston when the temps were in the upper 40s or low 50s with a huge humidity - that cold went right to the bone. And for the same reason summers were unbearable - running from one air conditioned environment to another. By the time you got home it didn't matter you had totally sweated out your clothes and needed to immediately shower and change. Just unbearable.
I agree with you on the humidity but I decided to avoid talking about the weather. One other negative I didn't cover is the reliability of the Texas electric grid. In recent years, ERCOT has had some real challenges keeping up with demand...
Or could it be because Texas is turning blue?
The problem with west Texas is low labor most jobs here pay $13hr even for more skilled labor and I’m starting to notice east Texas isn’t that much better because the rising cost of living lived in multiple states and I do miss okc for some reason but idk if I should move back the jobs I worked at from what I’ve seen pay the same still but I guess the rent still being the same is good
And I’ve seen articles calling okc the next Austin which makes me sad for okc in the future
Hmmmm...I hope not. Where did you see that article? Would love to check it out...
@@HOMEINOKLAHOMACITY it was from a Texas news article I forgot the name
My wife was just offered an opportunity in Oklahoma. I am 100% for leaving this state. The jobs are so darn hard to find though.
To Clarify: Currently i am the office manager of a local prestigious law firm. Not my most desirable environment, but I am good at people.
Reach out to me if you need any information on moving here. I'd be happy to help!
I grew up in Lawton and moved to Houston, no jobs there
Thanks for the comment!
I am not a Californian but I have lived here many years and this ultra liberal politics here is way too much to deal with. When I retire I will be moving to Oklahoma. I hope the liberals stay away.
I hear the same thing all the time from others. When retirement is in sight and you're ready to make the move, keep us in mind...Thanks for the comment!
@@HOMEINOKLAHOMACITY I definitely will. I would like to live near my sister in Heavener.
I think all the liberals are moving to Texas
We moved to Oklahoma from Minnesota this past year for precisely the same political reasons.
Moved to Bartlesville and love it.
@@robmichael8136 I live in Oklahoma City I've been here for 57 years sometimes I think we are the only sane state in the country

Thanks for commenting...
Stop doing this. Oklahoma is filled up. Texas made their own bed, don't come here trashing up our state. Goes for everyone who is trying to run from their mess. Just saying no vacancy
PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY
Thanks for the comment.
@@HOMEINOKLAHOMACITY OKC/ OK no good horrible terrible place stay away for your own good.
I want to move to Oklahoma City. The only thing I don't like is it's a red state
Check out my latest video. Yea, we're about as red as you can get... For many, that's a huge plus...Thanks for the comment.
So you think it would be same wonderful state if it was Blue? Don't think so. Keep the woke, out. We don't need it or want it.
Definitely red is a plus for me ! 🙌🏽
Doesn't matter you would like it here
Oklahoma is no good. Do not move to Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is the best, lived in cali for most my life but I’m from Oklahoma and I prefer Oklahoma far more than cali
@@-OAK- nononononononononono. Don't tell people Oklahoma is great nooo
@@rigid73abletoo late. As a Texan I’m convinced. Moving to Oklahoma 😌
@@matthewthomas8270 you won't like it. Best bet is to stay put in tx. Spread the word😁
