However; the southern parts of Dallas rival parts of Austin when it comes to hills.
Which is strange because it seems like most of the new people moving there are moving to the northern suburbs. I wonder why.

Although, I would say southern Dallas is as hilly as the eastern part of Austin but not the western. I've never seen any part of Dallas that comes close to Lake Travis or Marble Falls!

This is true. I'm kind of used to Houston now so they both seem brown and yellow to me!

The Southern suburbs aren't as desirable or developed as much as the northern suburbs. Also they have problems with crime.

The hills in Cedar Hill area in Southern Dallas is pretty similar to the hills around Lake Travis.

I am through with you. Next time you come at me, learn some reading comprehension and grammar skills. Until then, kick rocks and pi$$ off
I said!!!! that I respond to you because of the way people respond to your post as if they were typical, and I never said anything refering that you said, they were typical yourself! but you really should be telling that to the posters who came and started commenting like, Atlanta and Atlanta inner suburbs are full of big lots McMansions! intead of coming After me for noticing that! I also question why did you post McMansion like Neighborhood inside Atlanta's beltway vs middle class neighborhoods in Dallas beltway? they have something in common really? it's like me posting Dallas neighborhoods in the beltway that are full of big lot McMansions then compare them to neighborhoods in the Atlanta beltway that are middle class! While keeping your distance from the city center and your time develop rule then say Atlanta seem more urban!

First off I'm not coming at you and I'm never said anything rude or disrespectful towards you in anyway, I'm just repling to you.
2 Chill out, it's not that serious, do you got anger management issues or something? You need to learn how to better communicate with people and stop the personal attacks, i'm not even going to make a personal attacks back, is personal attack really that call for?
3. I clearly get what your saying. You believe that most of Atlanta houses are on larger plots of land than Dallas or Houston. You believe the farther-out suburbs sprawl out much more in Atlanta than in Dallas. Even though you know that, the Atlanta homes that are on large plots of land are just as untypical as the ones that are in Dallas and DFW and Metro Atlanta Density are equivalent.
your opinon is your opinion, we agree to disagree dawg

Wait; so the majority of Atlanta's suburban houses are on small lots like Dallas and Houston?? Is that what your saying??

haha! I was actually born in Dallas and lived in Cedar Hill till I was about 4.

I have hard time believing Cedar Park is just as hilly Lake Travis, Marble Falls, and other parts of western Austin. I would think it would look more like Dripping Springs.
