The most pedestrian-friendly neighborhood thread (that Uptown Dallas is currently winning) seems to have no complaints there. Hypocrasy "hating" behavior strikes again.

Now....if all of the Dallasites came in and did what I did They would be in the same boat. But since its its just lil ole me it should be written off as a person with a lil bias...But when the whole team of houstonians do it, It makes you wonder if they really think that or are they just tryna win the poll.

I'm pretty sure half of the votes to Houston are not from Houston, I mean, I can't be the only one voting Houston that is not from there. Right?

It's embarrassing to see Dallas only has 8, DFW with 5.8 million people? I don't know how many active ones on the forum but still pretty bad. I laughed out loud.

Because San Antonio and Fort Worth have equally and/or better downtown areas than Austin. Austin's is good, but it's no "runaway" with these two cities included...

Austin and Houston should not be in the top two.

Well that would make you a poor judge of character my friend.

I really don't care about these polls but i will call it like I see it. I know these polls are full of people who've probably never even been to these places & waste their time on the internet all day, so there's no need to take them serious.

I understand, but I think it comes equally from both sides. But I know Houston can't be the first at everything. Matter fact, I think there's a lot of things that Dallas does better.

It's really not a serious issue. It keeps the forum kind of entertaining.

But Dallas is rightfully at the bottom but it shouldn't be last,Houston should.
But in the end I agree with you its really not an issue at all. DT Dallas and Houston will be the best when the Smoke clears.they offer the most infrastructure and potential to be the top Two in Texas. The smaller cities are getting their 15 mins right now ,Which is fine with me....it takes nothing from Dallas or Houston in my eyes. We are the adults sitting at the back of the room watching our todler siblings grow up.

Dallasboi i dont know what you smoking but dtd should not be higher than dth.

I can list about five categories that dth is way ahead of dtd and about ten more that it is just ahead in.

I cant list any category that dtd is way ahead in and probably only three categories that dtd is slightly ahead in.

In other words everything you got we got too, but there are things we got you dont have.

Just give up love. DTD deserves its last spot.

lol....But houston is not as lively as DT Dallas..You can disagree til the cows come home but any level minded person can see this. This puts Dallas ahead to me...not by much but its ahead. The first thing people notice about ANY City is how vibrant they are...which is why Austin and Ft.Worth are said to have the best DownTowns in Texas....ITS THE VIBRANCY FACTOR people!! Like I said earlier Dallas and Houston will be the winners in the end because they both offer more than any other downtown in Texas minus the Vibrancy.
