Here's The New Safest City In Texas & What El Paso Has To Say

For the longest time El Paso has been regarded as one of the safest cities in America; we were number 3 last year. It's been a debate for quite some time & the debate just got even MORE interesting in 2022 as there's been a few other Texas cities that have claimed as "one of the safest cities":

there was Frisco according to Brit On The Move in their top 10 of safest cities in the US. It was the only Texas city included.
KXAN listed the top 50 safest cities in Texas according to FBI data; Trophy Club was #1. Horizon City was #16, San Elizario #18 & Socorro #37
Now according to an article on Moving Waldo, Horizon City is number 1 in the state of Texas. Fulshear is #2 & Colleyville is #3. El Paso isn't even included in the top 10.

Needless to say these are some VERY interesting tidbits. And where's the place to have a rational & reasonable conversation about differing opinions?

THE INTERNET OF COURSE! (yes that was sarcasm...)

The Moving Waldo story was mentioned on FitFam this week & people certainly weren't afraid to voice their opinions. So let's see some of the funniest comments that were posted online

"It's all fun and games until you drive down Darrington and hit a coyote" - donnied217

"Whoever wrote that article stayed from 1pm to 1:03pm" - 9allan1more5

" 'this is a paid partnership with Horizon County' " - aldewalker

"I’ve been living in Horizon since High-school years.. s*** when it first started to grow I remember back when the Whataburger, Walmart and Peter piper put us on the map 😂 anyways only thing that’s bad over here is the illegal dumping but other than that we love our shooting, off-roading and chill vibes. Haven’t met 1 rude person yet in horizon lol" - predatorgrim

"Clearly @movingwaldo doesn’t know what they’re talking about because the photo looks like a Midwest city stock image. Not that they had any credibility but whatever ounce of credibility they had is now gone." -srgeo75

"Because they have nothing over there" - vmersx

"As a horizon resident there's absolutely nothing here so I'd sure as hell hope it's safe" an_overgrown_child_v2

So yeah... perfectly reasonable debates...

Now I personally haven't experienced anything out there that I haven't in El Paso; I've seen my share of plenty of cops out, bad drivers, animals running across the street. I can't decide whether or not Horizon is safer than El Paso.

But that's just my opinion of course...
