Houston, San Antonio, and Austin are the #2, #3, and #4 fastest growing cities in the U.S.

You have to be kidding me... First you make the ridiculous statement that there are over 20 urban forests in the country and your supposed evidence is that the GTR is a specific kind of forest and now you're saying all cities have exactly the same proportion of park land to total area simply because there are a lot of large parks... Did you eat lead paint as a child?

I never said there are 20 urban forests. I never gave a number for Urban forests in the country. Maybe you have been licking that lead paint you mentioned?

and your supposed evidence is that the GTR is a specific kind of forest

It is so funny that you are the only poster not sharp enough to grasp this.

and now you're saying all cities have exactly the same proportion of park land to total area simply because there are a lot of large parks.

Again where are you seeing this? I thought there were good ISD's in DFW I think a refund is in order. What does that ISD rank in reading comprehension?

2010 GDP (millions of current dollars):

Houston ---- 384,603

DFW ------- 374,081


Houston and Dallas were ranked 5th and 6th in 2010. GDP per capita was 59,114 and 54,218.

From what I understand when the numbers are announced for 2011 in a few weeks it's going to show the gap has widened.
