You are not understanding.... Are you another 18montclair junior? slo1318 is his parakeet because he repeats everything he says, just rewords it. You are another parakeet of his. You do not have any original ideas and you just repost his statistics. 18montclair junior, why do you enjoy counting everyones money but your own?
Let's get this straight. IDGAF about luxury homes. Understand? I am not impressed witih counting other peoples money like you are, it is pathetic. I care about hte average home median. Now, go get another wiff of a millionaire.... you poor chinese peasant.
LOL look at this mental case. First he asks who can afford to live in Philly would choose ATL, DAL, etc and then I showed him folks who make the $$ and can buy luxe properties in any US city buying more in those cities than the dump hes from and he starts losing his head
If people could live in DC, Philly, Boston, SF, LA, Seattle, San Diego for the same price.... would they pick the cities I listed or Dallas/Houston/Atlanta?
Really? So, if someone told you right now..... your choice. LA vs Dallas for the exact same COL that you would pick Dallas. Dallas offers the same as LA? Come on man, people live in Dallas because it is cheap, which is the same reason why companies have moved there. Dallas/Houston/Atlanta/The South is general is the china of america.
Considering that LA is about 3 times larger, I would chose LA because it offers more. But that doesn't mean that Dallas doesn't offer a ton of amenities as well.
As for the question. I like both cities. But choose DC because of location and it's more urban. Too great cities. Like the Dallas is becoming more urban too.
Philly has really dropped off as a city recently. Both Atlanta and Houston, sprawling southern metropolis beat it in both international and domestic tourists/visitors. Now I see they sell more luxe homes also? I also saw the study where in 2025, Philly is expected to lose 9 spots in economic competitiveness while ATL, Dallas, and Houston will all be beating it by a fairly large margin.
What happened to the city? D.C, Boston, and NYC still manage to stay relevant while Philly is slowly forgotten.

Philly is not a TV, movie, fashion, pizzazz, shoppers mecca, HNWIs, billionaires, corp. elites, executives, etc. Its a bluecollar historical city close to NYC. Its skimmed over by other think tanks like AT Kearney, Foreign Policy, etc.
While I've not yet visited Dallas, I've heard that it's not as exciting as a city like DC, but it strikes me as a city where it's just easier to get ahead and live comfortably. Plus it offers practically every amenity that DC does outside of the free museums. I really do dig DC but I think the astronomical COL there is unjustified. I'm a nerd and the free museums in DC alone make it a winner for me, plus I already know a ton of people there, so it would win in terms of a place to visit, but as a place to live, Dallas would give it a run for its money.
The Dallas Museum of Art is free which is better than a lot of cities whose art museums charge an admission fee. The Kimbell in Fort Worth is also free.
