Not when you have Sand Branch, a community that might as well be affected by the Flint River.

This town might as well be in a forgotten part of Appalachia, but it's a few hectometers from the Dallas Water Treatment Plant and near a considerable amount of potable water infrastructure. Can't believe there are places with Third World conditions in America! What an injustice!

We give out enough corporate tax breaks as it is. Richardson ISD residents just stupidly voted in favor of the TRE which wouldn't be necessary if corporate real estate in Richardson ISD was fairly taxed at market value.


Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Stay classy, edwinpa7, stay classy...

I'm ... not a city-of-Dallas booster, to put it mildly. As regular posters know (though to give D-boi hsi due, the city is improving).

But Dallas has an identity, and as I said many many pages ago, it is Dallas' identity that doomed selection for an Amazon HQ from the start. Because Dallas and DFW at large simply don't care, or need to care, enough about Amazon, to justify making an offer that would outweigh the Acela-corridor stay-near-the-lobbyists advantages of what he chose. We have a hugely diverse economy and simply don't need to go around on our knees begging for the employment version of a strip-mall anchor-tenant.

From looking at your profile:

-You used to live in Dallas
-You are sexually frustrated: //www.city-data.com/forum/relat...hen-comes.html

So you hate Dallas because the women here kept passing you over for more successful and more attractive guys?

Go away.

But Dallas was in the top 3.

Houston wasn’t even in the top 20.

With more than 80 percent of precincts reporting, Utah's medical cannabis ballot measure was leading by a margin of 53 percent to 47 percent, and the Associated Press projected that it was approved.

It was really comical that some folks in North Texas thought they had a shot at Amazon 2.
Now I don't know if Bezos smokes pot but I know he's a pretty progressive guy.
Folks in Texas with guys in power like Abbott & Patricik are so far back in the pack (culturally speaking), we are watching places like Utah legalize grass and there's no real possability of it being on a ballot in Texas in the for seeable future.
