comparing dallas to fresno is delusional and shows how little you know or care to know about dallas.

The only reason they are flocking there is because of the Economy. That's about the only thing Texas has that's better.

You are probably right since places like Fresno don't have much to be proud of. But living in Fresno or San Bernardino means you can drive to places where cultural opportunities outshine even Dallas [ie San Francisco or Los Angeles].

^^^Yeah I can agree with that for San Bernadino. But to live in Fresno (or even Bakersfield) would not be worth it to me even given the proximity.




Some of you guys are starting to fight like children.

Nobody seems to care about comparing the cities as they are. Everyone wants to put exaggerated versions of San Diego and Dallas (California and Texas) and put them up against each other as if they truly exist like that.

It is the difference between California wanting a clean environment and Texas' selfish money schemes in spite of the people who breath their foul polluted crap. Big differences in values and Texas looks sad when it comes to real values beside Bible-belt nonsense.

One could also argue that CA is a bit of the bratty self entitled kid when it comes to energy and water. Don't want to build it but expect everyone else to bend over backwards in regards to either subsidizing it or producing it for you. If you don't want to pay the bill then buck and build the your own capacity. Claiming nirvana then griping about the cost is a little bipolar, just my two cents
