If someone moved themselves into your house and started demanding that you do and pay for major renovations because THEY would like them or because it's like the house they moved from, would you find that to be appropriate behavior on their part? This kind of attitude towards cities on the part of people who move there is simply the same thing on a grander scale.
Simple. Everyone pays taxes on that "house".

San Antonio is already larger than Dallas (city not metro) making it the 2nd largest Texas city after Houston.

Most of the growth is suburban. I would rather have urban growth.

Thats all cities in Texas (and the Sunbelt for that matter). The growth in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio has been almost entirely suburban.

I dont know anyone who thinks Dallas has a world class rail system. Most Dallasites dont think highly or lowly of it. Most just take it to the AAC, the State Fair, or to commute downtown.
