I have lived in Kansas City all of my life. When moving here because my husband was stationed at Fort Bliss, I was not prepared for the pleasant life here. Despite of the violence that happened here three years ago it took someone driving over ten hours to bring violence to our city. This place is great for children, even being on the border. We love it! The schools are great, the climate is nice and as a family we cannot think of a anywhere better to live than here.
I was born and raised in El Paso. Throughout my years here, things have developed for the better. Streets have been paved to help with traffic congestion. Entertainment has improved and helped money flow throughout El Paso. Communities are going by the second, and the housing market is affordable here in El Paso. There are many job opportunities since there is a lot of business going on. El Paso also has Fort Bliss where the military are, and it helps with the diversity here. It helps the schools enrollment and keeps our city safe. The number of residents here in El Paso have grown, so I would say our safety needs to follow that. The safety is what I can say needs attention.
