"400 a sq ft"? Say what? That doesn't exist.

The people in the Park Cities are the people who make Dallas what it is. They make Dallas a place people want to move to.

The only thing more pointless than the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is the Margaret McDermott Bridge which isn't even one bridge, it's two bridges with fake decorative steel arches that don't even hold up the bridges.
That was just city government crooks getting federal money for **** no one wanted. No one who wasn't getting paid thought that was a good idea.

Bull****. By your definition, it's in central Dallas.

I mean in the sense that the run a lot of businesses or whatnot and are important to the business community sure...

Culturally I don't think many people care about them or that many people move here to be part of their "scene"

It could be all of those things. North or northern Dallas because it's on the north side of I-30. It could be Central Dallas because it's in the central part of Dallas.

Some people can really only see things one way lol.

Some people only argue based on semantics.

And yet...a whole section of Dallas (that’s equivalent to the size of Atlanta) suffers from chronic poverty and no investment. The vast majority of those people live in a bubble and aren’t concerned about the massive poverty in Dallas.

Semantics? It's generations of people referring to certain areas by certain names. I get that these things change some over time. That said virtually no one around here honestly thinks of KWP as being in North Dallas. Instead you and the other guy are engaged in Bill Clinton quality hair-splitting.

This is a pretty fair run down.........

No investment? False statements like that do not help your arguments.

Sticking with I-30 as the line..........
Home Depot will build its largest distribution center anywhere on West Jefferson.
Cristo Rey opened a new school
There's all sorts of private investment activity- restaurants, homes, apts, retail etc - currently in and around Bishop Arts.
There's something of building boom in Trinity Groves.
Parkland has make significant investments in brick and mortar and mobile clinics in South Dallas.
I could go on.

Every big city everywhere has problems with relative poverty and absolute poverty. My guess is over the next 15 years we will see significant growth in South Dallas.
