You should REALLY get over yourselves. Dallas as a city hasn't won ANYTHING. DFW, however, is the force to be reckoned with. And it takes THE WHOLE of DFW to contend with JUST Houston. Seems like you prefer to have selective amnesia when it comes to that fact

....This whole post proves my point....Thanks

1. I guess Phoenix is the 5th largest city by your definition right? DFW is larger than Houston metro period, get over it. Nobody cares about the TMC other than medical professionals.

2. Wrong that title belongs to NYC and LA respectively.

3. Wrong again, busiest port belongs to LA, Houston has the most tonnage through the port but definitely not the busiest.

4. Wrong again, current CSA numbers go:

NYC
LA
Chicago
DC
SF
DFW
BOS
Houston

Houston is 8th, EIGHTH largest city in the nation, you Houstonians are small town folks, accept it.

Spacecitytx, you didn't have to go off like this. It's just light banter. You are going for the jugular and laying down suppressive fire. Play nice.

Let us have our metro. You can have your city. Let's be reasonable about this. No one has to get hurt.

LOL!! Blue collar southerners down there with a hint of Louisiana and Dixie twang. They are trying to catch up to DFW. DFW took the throne so swiftly that it caught them all off guard. I'll admit, they are showing some progress. The little houstonians that could. I admire the tenacity and drive. Even through literal hell (heat wise) and high water (floods).

The hate is very one-sided.

Living in Dallas goes like this: You are there and you may go outside of city limits from time to time but it's usually one or two cities over. Fort Worth never crosses your mind and it's hardly ever talked about (if it's ever talked about). If asked about FW, you may say, "Yea. It's kind of close but I don't know anything about it." or "They are different over there, I rather stick to this side." (different meaning more traditional/conservative/slower pace)

On the other hand, FW hates on Dallas big time:

I'd hear hate for Dallas come up in random conversations at least 2-3x a month. "Traffic over there is crazy," "Politicians are corrupt over there" "It's cleaner and nicer here with less homeless people, unlike Dallas," "Dallas is out of control," etc. I don't know if it's an inferiority complex fueled by Dallas having more name recognition or what. But it's real. On the FW subforum of CD, someone asked, "What does don't Dallas my Fort Worth mean?" That is common to hear in FW but nobody in Dallas talks like that about FW.

And while I'm at it, in real life, the same applies to Houstonians. C-D only makes it seem like there's a lot of hate thrown Houston's way. But when I go to Houston and tell people that I'm from Dallas, one of the first few things I hear is, "Dallas! Really! Why would you want to live up there?" or "I know you are having a good time here because Houston is so much better."

When a Houstonian comes to Dallas, here's the common Dallasite response.

Houstonian: "Oh, I'm just here visiting from Houston."
Dallasite: "Oh ok, cool story bro." {sips iced latte and keeps minding his/her business}


And ppl care about the whole area bc ppl say they are from Dallas and don't even live there. They could live in Addison, Carrolton, Las Colinas, GP, Cedar Hill, Mesquite, etc. Or they may frequent those places to visit or hang out with family/friends. Contrary to popular belief, we do cross over invisible city boundaries quite a bit up here. I probably drove through 6 of them today and it was just 30 minutes outside my home.

My experiences when visiting Dallas are quite the opposite.

Dallasite: Hey how are you

Me: I'm good, just visiting.

Dallasite: Oh really? Where are you from?

Me: Houston

Dallasite: Oh bless your heart! I'm so sorry.

Honestly i feel like cursing them out, but i smile and just politely reply, "Oh really? I''m not!"

I can only recall one time a Dallasite saying , "I've never been to Houston but I hear it's awesome." But the above quote is the norm for me! So I call a BS on anyone that says Dallas isn't concerned with Houston. Why so much shade thrown to a city you're not worried about?

This is crap and you know it. But nice try tho


This is no more true than Dallas craps on Houston whenever Houston gets picked ahead of it for an Olympic bid, sporting event, or something else.

A while back, the Dallas city leaders were sure quick to snide Houston by warning them to watch out for the mosquitos and flying cockroaches once they got eliminated and Houston was still in for consideration.

I love Dallas, but i can't stand it when Dallasites try to act like they're so innocent and act like they could care less to mention Houston, when in reality, anytime Dallas gets a chance to take a cheap shot at Houston, it does it with no problem.
