THIS. Dallas only appears to be slightly "prettier" in certain parts because of the zoning, but get outside of those areas and Dallas has plenty of not so pretty parts too. neither city are overly beautiful but i think Houston has the better natural amenities. agreed, Austin is the most beautiful city in the state.

great point.. its a shame there is hate amongst our cities. the rivalry i understand.. but some people genuinely seem to hate some of these places.

This is embarrassing , if you are going to use a classic Hollywood movie analogy at least use a movie that was about Texas, like Giant. Houston being Bick Benedict a strong leader with wide shoulders and a beautiful wife, and Dallas being the eccentric Jet Rink who inherited a piece of ugly worthless property from Big Bick's sister Luz, hit oil, and becomes the center of attention just to make a major ass of himself at a party he throws where he is his own guest of honor Yep that sounds more like it...

That millennials will always choose Austin over San Antonio if they could.

As a millennial and having lived in Austin for 8 years for school and work, I left Austin for San Antonio. I'm curious to how old you are Hoff? Since your children are grown and living in Houston, you have no first hand insight on millennials.

I lived in San Antonio. Graduated from high school in SA. My parents lived in SA until 2010 and I visited regularly. I like San Antonio. It is a good city to raise a family if you live in areas with good schools. Just like every other major city in Texas.

I didn't say millennials would always choose Austin. Please reread what I posted. I just think that even if San Antonio is getting smarter, it is still behind Houston, Dallas, and Austin for professional grade work. It doesn't lead in energy, tech, or finance. It leads in tourism, and military. It is developing tech.

People will go where the jobs are. If there are good jobs in SA, they will go there.

Austin is a bit full of itself. And life is getting a bit worse every year. But there are still a lot of reasons to live here. It ain't for everyone. I wish fewer people would move here, regardless of age.

Scarlett has VD too.

They are not in order. These are things that represent each city.

[TexasTallest]

Those hardly represent each city. You've got your **** twisted boi, it's the other way around. Don't let all the layers of make up fool you. Dallas is far from being the best. Unless were talking about longest light rail, biggest convention center, or busiest airport. Then yeah, Dallas is the best in the state at those 3 things. But that's not much to brag about...
