Looking at Dallas Metro Area on Google Maps, Looks Like All the Action is in Collin and Denton County
The Southern Part of Dallas Metro is filling in though.
A couple massive mixed-used projects and master-planned communities are in the works down towards Ferris, Midlothian and Waxahachie that will completely transform those areas.
Those areas just aren't growing nearly as fast as areas north of Dallas because they're far away from job hubs and the schools are less competitive. But at some point, more people will get sick of marching towards OK for affordable housing and look southward.
It's not entirely analogous, but there are some similarities with Inland Empire. It was overlooked for a long time, then when the 80s came around, it just plain exploded.

Having been in Dallas and LA in the past month, I'm gonna have to go with LA hands down. I like Dallas a lot, Vibrant, Clean, everything is new, the food was A1, Deep Ellum looked like Buckhead in the early 2000s. LA is just another level by comparison.
Los Angeles wins on everything except COL and Fast Food (which is a weird criteria, but ok).
LA invented fast food and LA is the hub for modern, trendy, and innovative fast casual food. There is literally not a single place that does fast food better than LA--city or suburbs--in this country. The suggestion that suburban Dallas does this better is bonkers.
Yep, UCLA, USC, Loyola, Pepperdine, CalTech and CALPoly are way better schools than TCU or SMU
Claremont McKenna colleges, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside and better or comparable too. Chapman, CSU Fullerton, Azusa Pacific, CSU Northridge, the list goes on.
Dallas' higher education options are more comparable to regions half its size (Pittsburgh, San Diego, Baltimore, Seattle, St. Louis, etc.) than Los Angeles.

I know UC Irvine is considered good, but a lot of people look down on CSU Northridge. Don't know what I think of UC Riverside

Agreed. LA can compete with Texas in terms of higher education. Texas has great schools but they’re spread out. However combine them and then we can talk

I will say that Pittsburgh and Baltimore each have a very respected school, in Carnegie Mellon and Johns Hopkins respectively. Dallas doesn't have a school at that level

I thought this too
