Uptown Dallas towers are about the same height of the towers along Peachtree.

I can't think of a more apples to apples comparison between two large cities in the US than Atlanta and Dallas.

He lived in Atlanta "7 years".... But everyone has lived in Atlanta when there trying to make a point just saying ...

Actually I lived in Atlanta twice as long as i've been in Dallas. I know both very well. There are other areas of Atlanta but I was just saying that it seems that people don't realize there's a lot more to Dallas than what people are discussing here. And I was making the point that Uptown Dallas to Midtown Atlanta is not apples to apples. Atlanta and Dallas have many similarities, but there are some noticeable differences between the two.

I haven't been to Atlanta since 2000, so I know I'm quite behind and unfamiliar with what's been going on there, but Dallas has really been transforming itself into an urban monster. Some of the things that Dallas has been doing over the last decade has made itself the envy of most of its peer cities. So i wouldn't quite count it out yet.

Some people on here might feel that dt Dallas gives off that office park ambiance simply because Dallas doesn't have enough grit that makes it feel like a true urban city, but development wise, its moving in that direction. It may not be there yet, but give it another 10-15 years when those new established areas such as the Arts District, Deck Park, and the upcoming Trinity River project really start to come together.

1. farms aren't cover with 3-5 stories trees.

2. Atlanta is generally cover by trees,

3. Most of buckhead is large estate mansions, but I was taking about the CBD.

3. I never anything about north dallas I said uptown Dallas.

4. and No uptown Dallas is not as large as the Buckhead CBD.

As I'm sure you are very aware, I just wanted to clarify for those who may not.
Driving up Peachtree in Atlanta, you go through downtown, Midtown then through Buckhead. These are three large areas all connected. There are other neighborhoods off of this path such as Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, etc.

In Dallas, You have a larger area that is considered "downtown" What you would consider our "Midtown" would be The Design District, Uptown, Oak Lawn, Knox-Henderson. What you would consider our "Buckhead" would be Highland Park, University Park and most certainly Preston Hollow. So that's why I was trying to make the point that you can't just say Uptown Dallas vs Midtown Atlanta because the areas of Atlanta are a lot larger and Dallas' neighborhoods are more fragmented with different identities within a small radius.

The panorama of Midtown and Downtown from 17th Street is hard to beat for most cities in the U.S.

There's a height restriction.

comparing walkable Dallas to walkable Atlanta is like asking whether the women in San Francisco are hotter than the woman in San Jose
