Shopping: Dallas vs San Francisco (cost, cons, size, best)

[pwright1]

I think both cities have excellent shopping whether chains, luxury chains, independent and anything in between.

It's hard to have it because of the heat. Many people would not want to walk outside during the summer.

Wonder how cities like Hong Kong and Singapore have so much of it. It's b/c almost the entire metro there is suburban and people like driving big pick up trucks. Dallas is the #1 market for pick up trucks in the U.S.

Doesn't Singapore have a ton of indoor malls?

Are they auto oriented suburban malls with parking garages or large parking lots or Pedestrian oriented on public transit with little or no parking ?

I'm not sure what difference that makes when the topic is indoor malls to escape the heat outside.

Its the diffference between San Fransico and Dallas suburban and urban .

Well I wasn't even referring to that at all w/o my point about indoor malls in Singapore, it was about escaping the heat.

I'm guessing you've never been to the cities in Asia.

1) Singapore has many indoor malls. The largest of which is not easily accessible by public transit.

2). Hong Kong is nowhere near as hot as Dallas.

If asking a Dallas citizen where urban shopping is they point to a low density neighborhood with a (as in one) Neiman Marcus! Yikes!
