Not that they don’t do things wrong, and that there aren’t bad apples out there, but part of that is up to you.

Even before the pandemic, less burdensome taxes in Texas drew huge tech companies like Tesla, Oracle, Facebook, Apple and Google — and their employees — to Austin, Texas.

There are always pockets in neighborhood that are good and bad, sometimes 2 houses on a block are rotten apples and the rest of the block is fantastic.I would drive around and get a feel of your desired area's.   

A colloquial expression of false equivalency is "comparing apples and oranges".If one of the causes of death you listed was a highly infectious virus that is brand new to the human population, that we have no vaccine for, that was spreading at a rapid rate with death rates nearly doubling every day in hot spot areas, then it would be comparable.

Or Apple?

Almost none of it apples to me or my goals.

So, while I can not speak to what goes on in the so-called “hood” I can say we have some bad apples up here in the ‘burbs.

If you have other apple products like an iPhone, iPad, and/or watch there are benefits to using a Mac for how they are able to internet with each other.

And I should be able to almost save up enough to cover a 2nd property.Currently I only have 15 varieties of blueberries, 2 apple trees, cherries, currants, elderberries, honeyberry, and 3 different varieties of raspberries.This next year I hope to plant 12 apple trees, 3 or 4 pear trees, 80 raspberries, 50 blueberry, 10 grapes, 10 elderberry, 20 cherry bushes.  

Apple, Google, Xerox, Fuji film, and Meta are all coming into the area. 5k people a month move to the area which has created a housing shortage, rent spikes, major appreciation (not just due to inflation) and you can still find single family homes for sale on the MLS in good condition for ~250k+ Tenant-landlord laws are landlord-friendly and taxes are low.
