Of course it has, but as I mentioned several times, stacked up with cities in it's same caliber, i.e. metros of 5m plus, it would be bottom of the barrel. If Houston wants to be a so called "global" city it can't keep competing with regional cities like Memphis, Bham or San Antonio. That is why I say for a big city, it's moderate at best.
So? Someone has to be at the bottom. It's not going to be every city fighting for #1. Has Philly or Chicago progressed as much as Houston, Atlanta, or Dallas in the past 50 years?
What on Earth are you bringing Memphis and Birmingham into this for? Houston doesn't compete with any of those, they would merely be one side of the metro.
Ok, but again that wasnt the topic. If someone created a thread that said: "Take all metros over 5 million and rank the most conservative", then I would agree that DFW, Houston, and Atlanta would be numbers two, three, and four (I think Detroit is actually more conservative than both despite voting blue). However, those were not the specifications.
So we agree, I didn't feel it necessary to stick to the topic of a banned troll account as he wasn't ever that specific to begin with...
If you don't care what I think then stop quoting me, Dallas homer! Right now a guy in Dallas is buying a ford f350 Chevy pick up to drive it all over the DFW metroplex and will live up to the stereotype!

I would say yes, especially on social policies, both cities have also had booms and were already cities of the 18th and 19th centuries. Eventually the growth of Houston, Atlanta and Dallas will also stop and have to deal with problems of fast growth such as crime/traffic/long term effects. 50 years ago those cities still had colored drinking fountains so if you are starting last in the race and move up, I'm not sure it's a victory.

Bear in mind, the post you responded to from me was in regarding to progressive politics.
If were talking about a city being progressive in a sense of constantly building, constant new projects, constantly looking for ways to add ammenities to itself, etc. Dallas is close to the top of the list.

Of course, no one can deny the huge growth of not just Dallas but Texas in general.

But even then, Dallas stands out compared to Houston or other Texas/Southern/Anywhere cities. The ambition of the city is insane. Granted, sometimes it doesnt work out but they are constantly trying new things.

The main draw to Dallas is the col, let them have the col of Seattle, Philly, Boston, etc and then see how many ppl move to DFW!
Keep up. You ASSuMEd. Now look closely at the word and see why I said that. Next time, get the facts about a person before you assume anything. You thought I was from Houston. You would be entirely wrong.
