The difference is San Antonio has natural beauty, Dallas must be the ugliest city I have ever been too.

DFW metro population is at 6.5 million to San Antonio's 2.1 million. Yeah, that's three times bigger and widening fast.

It's sorta comparing, San Antonio-Austin-New braunfels-San Marcos to Dallas without Ft Worth-Arlington-Denton. Not a fair comparison in region size, neary 3.9 million to 6.1 million(19 counties). Also, DFW didnt go from 6.1 million July 2007 to 6.5 million in a year.

No Wal-Marts in my neck of the woods (Lakewood) - that is what you see on 'the picture postcard' looking toward Downtown Dallas from White Rock Lake. You would probably see pitchforks and torches if WM ever tries to build a store here.

Unlike San Antonio / Austin / Houston ... Dallas is practically in Oklahoma and doesn't have the huge lush trees and as much rainfall as these more southern/central parts of the state. Lakewooder always brings up that same photo, which is not typical of the way DFW looks and just a tiny portion taken at just the right angle of a park near downtown to make you think Dallas is somehow blessed with tons of large trees and greenery instead of the dry prairie the majority of the metro actually is.

lol...There is some truth to this...The parts of Dallas I've been to typically do not resemble the pictures of Dallas that I keep seeing on CD. But maybe I just havent been to the right part.
