That's Fort Worth's Municipal Building. A city hall so borring they HAD to slap the title of the building on the front so you'd know what type of building it was.

And considering the past city halls (1,2) and the possible future City Hall which is currently a post office, our city hall makes me SICK.

If it's by metro why are Atl, Boston and Seattle so far down then? Their city propers are half of Dallas' so it makes sense if they are going by city limits. If by metro I would expect those three metros to have many more "super rich"

That building may not be flashy, but at least its not ugly tho. I think it still looks more presentable than the Dallas City hall. It kinda fits cause FW is the more low key partner in the relationship while Dallas is the more flashy over the top, boarderline gaudy partner

Its simple, ATL, Boston, and Seattle may have a lot of rich people, but when it comes to super rich, they have less than Dallas. Why do you think there are more super rich in Seattle??? There is more wealth in Dallas than Seattle dude. don't be fooled by City Data nonsense. not everyone there is a microsoft billionnaire.

Boston is even worse. There are lots of Millionaires in Boston. They have more than Dallas (I think the have about 25,000 more millionaires than Dallas, but Dallas has far more multimillionaires.

ATL is like Seattle, It is not that rich, don't know why you would let the media fool you.

That's pretty uninspiring, boring, dull, and guly, but it's not aggressively awful. I'd still rather have that than ol' slanty.

Point is we all need new city halls, methinks.

Without seeing the actual data used, that graph is basically useless. Every graph is useless without seeing the actual numbers. What's a Super Rich Person? What definition of city? For what time period? Who knows.
