Dallas is great! There's plenty to do whether you know the town or not, but it just can't compete with San Diego. The weather, beaches, mountains and scenery can't be beat.

I love living in Dallas, but if money was not an object I'd go with San Diego. No contest. Maybe I shouldn't be answering this question heading into our 17th straight day of 100+ heat in a row.

Thats so overrated and why go to the beach if the water is going to be cold? but "Yes" San Diego does have great weather and I am a tad bit jealous of how nice it is year round in San Diego but I'm from the south a little heat doesn't bother me.

um nooo during the summer the water is warm in the upper 60's sometimes low 70's. The water is never that cold. It's cold when you first get in but after a few minutes, it aint bad. I've been to Dallas and I didn't like it because it was flat, hot, humid, and not much to look at. just my opinion though like you have yours

Ok set me straight but Dallas isn't flat by a long shot. "Yes" we love our praires, rolling hills, cross timbers in North Texas.

I have to admit that’s real nice...Have you ever been to Dallas during the spring when those big super cell thunderstorms rumble through the open prairies into the Metroplex the site is absolutely breathtaking.

"You are correct" Mothernature does provide a ton of action for the metroplex during the spring. It really is a site to see over those open praires.
