CSA's are garbage. The DFW CSA isnt even worth talking about.

I personally think urban areas or metro areas are far better measurements.

They're not worth talking about because they shred your Dallas hype. The truth hurts, doesn't it. Knowledge makes a bloody entrance!

Default Binkyman's Market Report: The Dallas - Fort Worth retail market is three tiers above Houston's.

Concerning retail, the market area of Houston is much smaller than the market of Dallas - Fort Worth. The reason Atlanta has a seven million square foot market center is because, like Dallas - Fort Worth, its market sweeps 360 degrees. Consider the populations of each state around Atlanta and how each has a population equal to a large metropolitan area?

In contrast, there is not much of a market area south of the Houston area while the better positioned Dallas - Fort Worth area to the north takes away from it.

This is why Atlanta, though a smaller metropolitan area, has a bigger retail market than Houston. Also factor in the world's busiest airport compared to the business that Houston is getting from Latin America (there is market share south of Houston in this regards as wealthy Mexicans like shopping at the Houston Galleria).

Momentum times exponential growth is why people from Houston need to quit trying to compare and contrast the retail in Dallas - Fort Worth with that of Houston. Even Atlanta and Miami know they can't match up with the market surrounding Dallas - Fort Worth.

Figure the Dallas Market Center is one tier of retail in Dallas - Fort Worth that the Houston market doesn't have. The huge design districts are another. And then there is the regional retail that has been built such as the 191,000 seat Texas Motor Speedway, the massive construction of the Delloitte business univeristy and resort in Southlake, all those convention and resort hotels built in Grapevine north of DFW airport around a Katy Mills Mall -- the centerpiece here being a huge Gaylord Convention and Resort facility located on the shore of Grapevine Lake, and, to beat them all, a Nebraska Furniture Mart now under construction in The Colony.

The more the momentum builds on the exponential scale in Dallas - Fort Worth, figure even more of these huge regional types of developments will get built.

So, those equal to three tiers

The guy you're talking to ain't even from Dallas. Also, yes, Urban Areas I believe are the best way to measure the size of an area. Even some houston posters would agree with me.

I am officially leaving this argument because it has gotten bogus. Its all an opinion. You cannot prove an opinion. I personally prefer having 2 different stores than 4 of the same. Just my opinion. If you like Dallas's retail areas so often, go ahead and blow your life savings there!

You're a thief dallasgirl, because the phrase actually belongs to the great African American poet Langston Hughes...and he's not boring, but yes the phrase/saying is an old one.

Done?! I'm just getting started.
