Of course the food has to be actually tasty, but Dallas has substance too. So Dallas being ambitious as it is, has initiated these projects knowing that these are a part of what makes a city great and yes maybe even one day world class. You don't get noticed by being plain and practical and I'm in no one insinuating that this is how Houston is, but apparently our progress threatens some of you on here, so you keep trying to say how Dallas is too glitzy and isn't practical. Well, while y'all are over there crying your woes and complaining, we're gonna keep on progressing.
The bridge is poorly planned, yet is still being built (for show). There is not a market for the Museum Tower, yet somehow they think it's a good idea to build $1 million+ condo towers in Dallas (when there is clearly an oversupply) and Victory Park was horribly planned and has the same problems the Museum Tower will face (empty, high priced condos). Is it not a fact that Dallas' condo market is in oversupply? Why is it a good idea to keep building high priced condos then? Those are some the problems I have with Dallas. It's like its all for show, to me. There are some projects that I do like though, like the Woodall Rogers Park. That is a great idea and will connect Uptown and Downtown even better. I was always fond of the light rail plan, too. I just don't call things like building a "bridge to nowhere" (just because it looks cool) or a Museum Tower (when there is no market for it) progress. Progress in Dallas are things like the Woodall Rogers Park and the light rail system.

Why are you always calling the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge, a bridge to nowhere??

Because it doesn't connect anything. Even Dallas posters have said that. As always, you pick out that one part in my entire post.
