Pretty self-explanatory. Which city do you think is more pretentious?

Miami's broke ass population for sure. They always try to stunt what they wish they could afford. Everybody over there seems to be driving the latest new cars and has nice clothes and jewelry but most of them go home to the hood like Liberty City or Hialeah.

Miami. That non-stop swath of high rises from Key Biscayne to Lauderdale and Palm Beach means someone with money is living there. Then there are the pretentious wannabees.

Dallas has old Texas and new conspicuous consumers but it's not as visible as it is in Miami. I've never lived in Dallas but have gone there for work. Don't kid yourself, Atlanta and Dallas are "two peas in a pod." I lived in Atlanta.

Is there a big disparity of wealth down in Miami and Dade County?

I believe Miami has one of the highest levels of income disparity in the country.

Definitely Miami. I went there a couple summers ago and like the person above said people in the Miami area like to flaunt and show off. Dallas has wealthy suburbs and people but they don't flaunt their money and show off. I'm sure there are people like that in Dallas but it's not enough to be noticeable. South Florida is very keeping up with the jones's imo.

I can't imagine Dallas is even in the same league as Miami when it comes to this.

Clearly, you've never spent any time in Uptown, McKinney Ave, Lakewood, M-Streets, Frisco... Dallas is full of said people.

I'll still give the edge to Miami, but Dallas isn't far behind.
