Lets not get carried away here.First let me say that Dallas and Denver are obviously both great areas although I tend to think Dallas constituents along with Houston and Atl get carried with their place, tend to believe they are more important than they actually are concerning the big picture.
As if you don't do the same thing when it comes to Philadelphia. But thank you so much for putting us in our "place"
Anyone I've known to move to Denver or Dallas has loved it and the people I know who have moved to Philly haven't really liked it and its actually quite funny but all have complained how unattractive the people are there lol.

I have been to all three and I would give Quality of Life to Denver because of it's setting, weather and being less of a rat race. (Denver isn't actually in the same class as the other two) In all other areas I have to say Philly because of it's culture and history and the depth of choices in lifestyle. Dallas beats Houston imo but it's still just an overgrown small town and too one dimensional. (BTW it may be coincidence but I have never had a really spectacular meal in Dallas)
Wow, considering how huge DFW is, that's the first time I've heard somebody call it an overgrown "small" town. I used to think Dallas beats Houston. Now I'm not so sure that's true. I agree though with Denver on the QOL.

It's nothing overtly intending to disparage Sun Belt cities, but the model of development in the Sun Belt is -- typically -- very different from cities in the Midwest and Northeast. So, as someone who is used to a city structure of a relatively small urban core (for example, Dallas has 1.2 million people and a land area of 385 sq. miles, whereas Philadelphia's 1.4 million people are contained in 135 sq. miles), Sun Belt cities that typically have annexed a large area containing neighborhoods that are much more suburban in character appear much less urban overall. Thus, it may be hyperbole to call Dallas an "overgrown small town," but it does allude to the point that more historical cities like Philadelphia have not annexed adjacent land for a over a century are more uniformly urban in character.
Again, not making any judgements calls in saying this is good or bad, but it is important to acknowledge the different models of newer cities vs. older cities insofar as it may help to better understand the perspective of someone accustomed to an "old school" model for a city.

Oh, jealousy. Or elitism. I get it. Sardines either jealous of those with elbow room AND big city amenities or thinking being a sardine somehow makes them superior.
