No, Houston has a larger city population than Dallas, but overall, Dallas has a larger metro population.

Please do not go by everything you see on TV. Just b/c television or the media likes to stereotype certain areas does not mean everyone lives like that. I could say that everyone in L.A. is either a Hollywood wannabe or a gangbanger, but I know that is not true. That's the problem w/stereotyping and making up false generalities about certain groups of people, certain regions, etc., it justifies our prejudices for other people, cultures, regions, b/c it is different from what we are accustomed to.

Dallas/Ft. Worth that is. Dallas doesn't take it all by itself as i've said countless times earlier in this thread. That's why the metro area is called Dallas/Ft Worth.

Well, just bc a place has alot of billionaires and good economy doesn't mean it's all that great. It's great if money is your driving force.

Another reason why billionaires set up shop in DFW is bc TAXES. In NY or CA state taxes knock out 10%. Ask a billionaire if he'd mind if they took 10% out of his income if he'd stay.

People move to DFW bc it's cheap and there are jobs. Take that away.... it would be just farmland. Heck, Texas most popular and "cool" is Austin which is about 1/5 of the size of DFW.... what's going on with that?

Weather - avg, typical southern city.

Attractions - other than the cowboys, nothing worth noting and lately Cowboys havn't been anything worth mentioning in 15 years.

A work first mentality that in other cities - doesn't really fly well.

Suburbs galore.

High Crime.

Traffic that can rival just about any city.

You mean to tell me, that there are no work first mentality cities in the northeast.
