I didnt realize the thread was meant for specific races only...
This thread is meant for everybody. But jumping down OP’s throat as if he’s delusional about something that even San Fran has acknowledge is a problem isn’t cool. Everyone’s views, opinions, and experiences are valid regardless of their racial background.

Exactly my point, using one viewpoint to blanket an entire MSA for all others makes no sense.. plus he's not the OP.
Sorry folks who say otherwise, but most blacks in CA that move are moving within CA.
Black Population 2010-2018
California 2,246,000...2,283,000
You know what I take back what I said about Black people are migrating at a higher rate outside of the state than more inland. That was more evident in the mid 90s to 2000. With that said Black people are migrating to more smaller cities and rural areas in Cali mostly due to COL. And cities like Elk Grove/Antioch/Fresno or Fairfield don't give you anything remotely close to what DFW gives you.
I still wish this topic would drift into highlights about DFW that are not about cost of living. It's a lot of municipalities there and covers a large area with a large population. There's got to be some great highlights.

Exactly. But people on here think that the only reason anyone would think about living here is COL and jobs and the area is so much mote dynamic than that.

Well, counteract it then! Post about great things in and of the Metroplex!

1.Good school districts
2.Family oriented suburbs
3.Job opportunities
4.Diverse economy
5.DFW Airport(you can get to most cities in America from DFW Airport in 3 Hrs or less)
6.Networking opportunities(because there's a lot of headquarters here the networking opportunities are plentiful)
7.Business friendly(rated one of the best cities to start a business)
8. Food(there's more to the metroplex besides national chains)
9.Sports City(even though I hate the Cowboys there's more than enough transplants to have a good time as a sports fan in DFW)
10.Diversity(might not be as integrated evenly as the Bay but it is diverse)

Those are pretty good (except I personally have not liked American suburbs at all, though this is not a judgment on anyone who does)--are there somewhat more specific highlights?

There's Legacy West in Plano and Frisco Station. Both incredibly fast growing, new areas, with 25-30 story condos. Brand new food hall in Legacy West. The Dallas Cowboys practice stadium is in Frisco Station. Toyota's North American HQ is also in Legacy West. There's simply nothing like it in similar Bay Area suburbs like San Ramon/Lamorinda/Walnut Creek.
SMU is an incredibly beautiful and pristine campus, with the GW Bush Presidential Library (quite new, built in 2014) right on the campus. Light rail station right across the street. Bike path runs parallel to the light rail line.
Dallas is home to the 6th Floor museum, where JFK was assassinated. Dallas has a heritage streetcar line, just like SF.
Dallas has two bridges designed by Santiago Calatrava, one of the world's leading architects.
Another great thing about Dallas is that its attractions are far more compactly located than in San Francisco. In San Fran you have to travel from Downtown across the city to Golden Gate Park for many museums. In Dallas, the museums, opera house, and concert hall are concentrated in Downtown/Uptown.
Haven't yet been to the Perot Science Museum, but sure someone else could rave about how massive and state of the art it is.
Dallas is about to have a massive, $600 million overhaul of the Trinity River into a park 11 times the size of Central Park in NYC. The Great Trinity Forest is the largest urban forest in the USA.
Plano and Frisco are both heavily Chinese, while Garland is basically a Little Saigon. The Chinese/Vietnamese/Indian/Korean/Japanese food that one finds in the Bay Area can easily be found in DFW. 99 Ranch, Mitsuwa, H-Mart, and 85 degrees C, are all in DFW, as well as other Asian supermarkets.
And this is only the Dallas side. Arlington has the Cowboys Stadium (built in 2014), the Dallas Rangers stadium, AND Six Flags Over Texas (the original six flags!) all right next to each other. Fort Worth has the Stockyards. Fort Worth also hosts the world-famous Van Cliburn Piano Competition every four years. It's one of the most prestigious classical music events in the world.
Don't forget, Dallas to Austin is just as close as SF to South Lake Tahoe.
