From living in Taft, Texas more than 5 years I can say that I love how you get to benefit from the small town charm and support system as well as also the big city benefits being only 15 minutes from the next big city. I enjoy my escape from big city noise and pollution. Yet, I don't suffer from the lack of big city options being so close. Its a win win!
I love it here. But there needs to be better leadership at the city and school board. They do not do enough.
There's the occasional crime occurrence, but it doesn't really have an impact on me.
