I have already conceded that point. ...in the opening post...more than double Philly. But it has Comcast....they'll cut off your internet/cable...LOL..(I'm kidding). PS...If you were to include Allentown, Reading etc. then the total would be much closer.

lol! If Comcast cuts of Dallas' internet/cable, than AT&T will cut off Philly's.

For future reference, always go to bea.gov to find out the very latest GDP stats for the nation, states and metropolitan areas. Its the official government database of such statistics.

Your source was either outdated or bogus.

After further review on Google Street Views, I find Dallas to be somewhat odd as you see a developed area and then a wide open prairie look to it,whereas Philadelphia seems more dense,but Dallas still much cleaner has a flat appearance and somewhat bland.

This is one example

You might be seeing flood plains? There are wide swaths of land along the Trinity River that are not buildable because of this.
