Yes, there are a few small hills in the metroolex and 1 maybe 2 decent sized ones.

That doesnt change that overall the metroplex is very flat.

Go up on a random crossover where two highways meet and you will have an unbroken 360 view with no hills or mountains to break it up. Thats flat.
Just admit your wrong. DFW for the most has a rolling terrain. Especially areas south of 183. That picture I sent is a decent size hill. Nobody is making the claim that DFW has hills the size of mountains or even really dramatic hills. We’re saying it’s not flat. It’s crazy to continue to call an area flat when it’s clearly has a rolling terrain.

Cedar Hill State Park and the surrounding areas are quite hilly and have some nice vistas. Gorgeous sunsets.

Breaks my heart but DFW has the momentum going for it as it's been gobbling up a lot of corporate expansions. However, Houston has always been more of my type of city.

I will always adore North Texas and Texas Tech. Those schools took in we poor people.You could be desperately poor and get educated at their schools.

You really need to travel more.

Yesh, the metroplex has a few hills. The ones near Cedar Hill are the only decent sized ones. There are other small ones most of which are more or less verrying degrees of "rolling" instead of real hills.

The vast majority of the metroplex is flat.

Even Houston isnt perfectly flat it has some degree of "rolling" as well.

You seem to want to incorrectly interpret the fact that dallas is flat with me claiming its the salt flats level of flat.

To be fair, most cities are built in a flat area. But unlike Denver or another city built on a flat area there arnt hills or mountains on the outskirts of town.

Highway crossovers give you a full 360 view because the area is flat and they are taller than any hills.

Very cool video of Dallas, but i think that Houstons lack of zoning is actually one of its best features.
