Dallas does have the job market. Lots of people in Tarrant county commute daily into Dallas for work. Lots!

I did not read all of every post. But I don't think anyone has stated the most obvious "thing" or point to me, IMHO, if the world continues for another extended number of decades, and "if" the entire DFW area keeps growing as it has for the last 100 plus years, then, with the square miles Fort Worth has today within its current city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction, means it can annex NOW, up to five miles from its current city limits, then quite obviously Fort Worth can exceed Dallas in population, hypothetically, someday in the future. Yeah, I know, a run-on sentence and then some, lol.

Dallas, allowed all these cities to incorporate around it, Dallas is fairly much landlocked, except for some land available in the 100-year flood plain that you can't now, build homes.

Houston protected its annexation future by legal strip annexation decades ago. I suppose, only guessing, Houston leaders knew something or cared about annexation but Dallas leaders did not take the care or take the same annexation philosophy as Houston decades ago.

We have our OWN damn jobs.

The majority of Tarrant County residents who work in Dallas live in the suburbs. We have our own identity... we have our own culture... we have our own transportation... we DON'T need Dallas and never have.
