And yet you continue to offer nothing to back that up. I think the more you talk, the more people are going to be inclined to believe it is the largest.

That's quite a mouthful.

Dallas & forest are two words that should never be mentionond together in the same sentence.

Those trees in the "Great Trinity Forest" are nothing more than low canopy, dense under growth along the banks of the Trinity River that has accumulated over the years due to lack of development in South Dallas.

Where ever you have a body of water, you usually have vegetation along & near it.

Its not a hard concept to understand & is not representive of the typical landscape for the vast majority of D/FW & North Texas.

Oh there's not enough heroin in the city of Dallas to cure the headache I'd receive from such a task. I see no point in debating this any further. You've made it quite clear that you still have no intention whatsoever of providing any evidence to support anything you say. You'd rather go on about how the trees are smaller (though more beautiful) than the ones in Houston, how only a small portion of the trees were planted, and whatever other nonsense that has little to do with what we're talking about. You can remain in your own little world of thought where there are 20 urban forests larger than ours and remain oblivious to the real world. Take your Houston lackeys with you too since they're the only ones that think your incoherent ramblings actually make a point.

Let's try to stay on track. Regardless of how big the GTF is or where it may rank in the country, it's really an irrelevant issue either way. It's a park, and you can't look at a city's density numbers and say, "well, if only we didn't have these parks." All cities have parks and land that will never be developed. They're included in density numbers.
