Well, that's totally wrong. Let's not talk about sprawl because California is the king of sprawl.
It doesn't really make a difference if Dallas is full of sprawl or not. But when a city has a downtown skyline, and practically NOTHING urban surrounding it it really takes away from the view. By just the buildings, Dallas has a beautiful skyline. But seeing and knowing that there is no urban life surrounding the core really takes away from my thoughts on it.
Also, I also feel this way because Dallas is such a big city. It's disheartening to know how big the city is and see how lifeless the skyline is.

Uptown is north of Downtown. That area is very urban and home to many dense developments.

Projects like the Trinity River South of Downtown & park deck over the Woodall Rogers Freeway eventually connecting Downtown to Uptown will help out with Dallas' quest for urbanity.
Downtown may be dead, but Uptown right next door is thriving & bursting at the seams with urban developments.
DART's light rail while not the busiest is by far the largest in the South. Once connected to D/FW's massive airport will be the final piece of the puzzle.
Dallas does have some fairly dense urban neighborhoods given its a Sunbelt city.

*Mind is completely distant from that entire post*
Maybe I could give you "lifeless" (that's a first) because there are some skyscrapers in Dallas that are more empty than full, but you're not too up to date with the way the skyline is now, are you?

Yes, but (please correct me if I'm wrong) according to wikipedia it only has 6,000 residents. So only 1 tenth of 1 percent of Dallas's metro population lives in this "urban" area.
Why would you trust Wikipedia? 20,000 people live in Uptown.
Uptown Dallas
I'll admit this picture does help change my opinion of Dallas a little bit. However, it still doesn't have that wow factor that SF has. That feeling that that city is supposed to be there and that its truly a great place.
Yes, because as everyone knows it, Dallas is just a fantasy land, adjacent to the land of Narnia.
You're arrogantly trying to project your own opinions onto others. Now, some may be stupid enough to fall for it, but I'm not.
At the same time, I think you actually know what I'm talking about when referring to a real place.
