Most city vs. city comparisons go like this for Dallas:

too flat
too hot
not enough trees
not "black" enough (despite being "blacker" then Houston)
not enough culture but gaining
shopping is good but overrated
food is good but (insert ANY city) has better food
not enough "natural" beauty
people aren't as friendly
too many McMansions
everyone is fake
every other large city has a better downtown
nightlife is good but not as good as (insert city)


Every major city gets bashed on CD and Dallas is no exception.

Dallas just have a lot of haters...Its crazy how Dallas gets bashed so much but it still continues to out grow every U.S. metro area....The whole notion of not black enough is ignorant in itself...DFW added more black residents than Houston this decade despite hurricane Katrina...

Of course it's possible.

A 'Forrest' is defined as X amount of trees per square mile or (acre). An urban area is X amount of people per square mile. So combine them and boom there you go.

I know that Atlanta and Dallas have urban forrests, Minneapolis has plenty of trees, but I know that since I'm from here.

Lol, it got even more bashed before on CD? I'm glad I wasn't around to see it in that case.
