Well, it's difficult to call problem. Leaking roofs are better fit for example. Or incompetent people almost in all segments, starting from plumbing specialist (хе-хе, у вас они специалистами называются) and ending with doctors. Or buses packed with people. Or roads turned the rivers after each rain. Or street gangs that suggest to part with yours mobile. And so forth.

I think you should go to Moscow... which is located in your state Texas. Hehe... Now seriously. Firstly, if you really have an obsession to live here, you'd better live in Moscow, because Moscow and Russia are different things. Secondly, never try to get a teacher's position. If you want to teach English, then be a tutor, you definitely will be command popularity, if you'll position yourself as a native English speaker.
