I don't know who is saying downtown Dallas is dead but I wish someone would up load some pics.I had a 5 hour delay in Dallas and decide to walk around which was around 1 o clock in the morning and from what I seen was hustle and bustle people selling stuff and buy stuff if you know what I mean.The clubs had lines from here to Mexico and what I found was neat was the models at one club posing as manicans and that was impressive.They have the original Mc Donalds there with the huge M that you can walk under and it's becoming to look little like New York city from my oppinon.A city that can't grew out must grow up trap around all the suburbs like Dallas.
Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Charlotte are cool downtowns with a lot to do. San Jose is the one you need to be concerned. It's so dead and not much going on.

It's so dead with no vitality once so ever. You're lucky to have a cool downtown with plenty to do, and the size of Downtown D is impressive. San Jose is basically an overgrown suburb with no functioning downtown.
No they are not. That is precisely the problem with sprawl. Dallas and houston are classic examples of this. sprawl kills downtowns. That's why after 6 pm, you can shoot a cannon off and not hit anyone.
Houston and Dallas are reasonably close to the same size as Chicago. But the difference in downtowns is night and day.

I take it you've never actually been to San Jose... "dead" is something DT San Jose is not. Small? Yes. Dead? No. More dead than SF and/or Oakland? Definitely. But there are plenty of "bigger" downtowns that have even less going on than San Jose.

Dallas and Houston need atleast 3million more people to bethe same population as Chicago.
I don't understand how you tied sprawl in with The downtown area though. To say that both downtowns aren't alive after 6pm can't be right. I don't find that to be true.
Dallas and Houston are horrible. Especially for cities of their size. The department stores close at 6. That ought to tell you how dead they are.
I totally disagree. San Jose is the only that' horrible for its size and its existent. That's left for San Jose, not Houston and Dallas, which are big and fun with lots to do. Houston and Dallas have nicely revitalized their downtowns with convention centers, stadium/arenas, performing arts and at least one department store. San Jose is deplorable. The worst and least vibrant of any possible the world since cities thorough the world are vibrant in their core short of a war time.
