Most of the city of Dallas is covered in trees except for maybe the Design District, which has other charms. Where in Dallas are there no trees? |

I can think of many areas in Dallas that are practically treeless & have that "wide open spaces" feeling about them...
West Dallas on I-30 between Grand Prairie & downtown. (you can see as far away as the Galleria from this location)
Southeast Dallas coming into town on I-20 westbound. (downtown visible over the barren prairie some 15-20 miles away)
HWY. 80 coming into Dallas from Terrell. (flat open farm land as far as the eye can see with a tree or two here & there)
Northwest Dallas on HWY 114 going towards D/FW & 635 West going towards D/FW. (again very sparse tree coverage)

^ Alot of this is true.
I remember when I first visited Houston, I thought the entire area would be heavily wooded and lush. Wrong, only the far northern areas of the city (The Woodlands, Tomball, Kingwood) have stands of pine trees. The rest of the city looks alot like Dallas except much flatter. |

S of DT
SE of DT
Oak Lawn and most of Highland Park
University Park, Preston Hollow, Meaders
In between Irving and Arlington
North of Garland
Towards the middle of Plano
I would say that the Metroplex has plenty of trees. Sure it's not a forest, but to say it's only rolling grassy plains is obviously incorrect.

^ If you'll notice too in those pictures, the darkest green patches are located along or near waterways. The lighter green & brown shades represent undeveloped or "open" land where the whitish-gray areas are developed.

Out of curiosity, why does it matter which has more trees or which is flatter?
