Dallas has room to grow, the southern parts of Dallas is kinda rural.
They will never say Fort Worth Metroplex.
Room to grow is one thing, attracting growth is another. You know where all the happenings is at in The Metroplex. Its all about west of the Trinity baby.
unfortunately, yes. austin is nice. san antonio is tolerable. dallas is has its merits. still waiting to find something positive about houston. i really don't mean to be a troll, i just saw the subject and felt compelled to chime in. i can appreciate that everyone has different taste in where they live, which is fine. houston just isn't my bag.
Wells lets see...Houston hmm...most diverse city in the South & Texas, largest medical center in the world, 2nd largest theater district after NYC, largest upscale mall in Texas, #1 foreign shipping port in the nation #2 over all, the Gulf of Mexico at your beck & call...the list goes on & on.

Didn't you gripe about Houston traffic earlier, yet you think Austin is nice? Austin has some horrible traffic from it's inadequate freeway system. The city was poorly designed, unlike Houston, San Antonio, and DFW's systems (in order).
People usually skip South Dallas altogether for newer developing suburbs like Cedar Hill, Desoto, & Lancaster. Most of the better off Blacks have moved from Oak Cliff to those areas over the past 10 years.
Some parts of South Dallas shouldn't have never been developed. Rochester Park area of South Dallas is located in the Trinity River flood plain. This area was developed in the 50s for blacks during segregation. The City knew the houses was built in the flood plain. This area had 3 major floods 1989, 1990, and 1991. In the 90s the city built a levee to protect the area from floods.

Ha, Philly's saving grace is that it is being propped up by NY and DC.
Without them it would be going the way of Detroit, Baltimore, Buffalo

Traffic is already bad, makes me literally want to park my car on the freeway and walk the remainder of the way to where ever I am going. So it's okay.
Funny, because everyone in this thread is getting a chubby at the thought of having 10-20 million people without the implications on quality of life. That's why I say "here, have a few million" Once you guys reach 10-15 million, then you'll see exactly what I mean.
I just WISHED California's population was actually declining. Maybe it will wake our public officials up and actual get stuff done, instead of sitting on their hands doing this:
But hey, whatever gets to you guys at the end of the day. Just remember that LA and NY both have millions of people in their MSA, and yet people still leave. Population growth isn't the be all, end all. And you can't grow forever.
