Fort Worth just stuck it to Dallas that's why he pist off. Dallasites know Fort Worth has gained a considerable amount of ground on Dallas since 2000.

Yea because dumb Dallas allowed its suburbs to get too large. What did Fort Worth do when Keller and Southlake where on the verge of being another Plano and Frisco. They annexed all that land around them to prevent them from growing too large. Smart move by Fort Worth.

Annexing alot of land isn't a good thing. Dallas has alot of land that isn't devloped yet.

why is Dallas so dependent on its suburbs? and on FW's suburbs? can't y'all stand alone?

I think you all have the smallest city to metro area pop in the US

less than 20%
