It tells people who are not familiar with Dallas thats interested in moving here:
*We have the number one public school in the nation(for people with kids)
*That we have the largest Light rail system in the state and nation(for questions about public transportation)
*That we have the largest urban arts district in the Nation(which is downplayed all the time)
*That we are the #1 destination in the State.
*That we are the #1 business opening spot.
*That we are the fastest growing reigon in the Nation
*That we Have the 4th busiest airport in the world with light rail arriving there this very year
*That Investing into the city is first priority among Dallas people.
*That Dallas' quality of life increases every year.
*That Dallas is far passed the stereotypes its had for the last 4 decades

This is a different place........EAT IT!

Oh and this is a terrible lie.......go read the thread about shopping.
According to The Brookings Institution and Yahoo finance, Dallas is not even in the top 10 metros for attracting migrants seeking new opportunities

America’s new opportunity cities

By Rick Newman January 22, 2014 5:32 PM Yahoo Finance

But people have been moving all the same, which is extremely important for the economy, since labor mobility draws people out of stagnant areas to places with better jobs and a brighter economic outlook. Demographer William Frey of the Brookings Institution has analyzed Census Bureau data to determine internal migration trends among big metropolitan areas with more than 1 million residents. His data exclude population growth due to birth or death rates or the immigration of foreigners, so they reveal which big cities working-age Americans are leaving and flocking to. Here are the 10 newest opportunity cities drawing workers looking for better jobs and a higher standard of living:

The video was made to create intrest in the city. To show that we are not a stagnant city like Houstonians want Dallas to be. This video shows that Tall buildings are not top priority in Dallas and we are still functioning and growing like crazy.
meh, thats debatable..
who said everyone loves to hate Dallas? your getting your Ft Worth and Houston rivalries confused with "everyone".
so if Perot built a supertall would tall buildings still not be a top priority (according to you) and you continue to downplay skyscrapers? because i seriously doubt it.. and BTW, when they panned from the cow/horse (i forget) pasture, up to the skyline, that gives the impression Dallas IS about the tall buildings...

Enough with these foolish arguments. Houston and Dallas are both great prosperous cities in a great state; just like California has Los Angeles, and the Bay Area.

That article is taking information from 2010-2012. DFW is currently the fastest growing area in population. So either Dallas is getting big numbers in foreign migrants or this article is wrong and DFW's biggest growth is due to internal migration. I'm sure Houston would throw a fit if it's the formal due to it's claim as Texas international migration capital.

maybe your "urban arts district" is downplayed all the time because quality wise, it pales in comparison to real and organic arts districts.. just as your "largest light rail system in the nation" pales in comparison to full fledged rail systems like New Yorks, Washingtons, Chicagos, or Bostons.. that "largest" crap isnt fooling anyone. and if it is, by all means take them in.. better Dallas get the idiots than Houston.

your immature rants and "EAT IT" crap is going to get this thread closed if you keep it up boi..

oh and maybe "best" isnt the best word for shopping, thats obviously an opinion.. i should of said biggest mall in Texas
I doubt it....A mod posted right after me with more interesting videos of Dallas.


How is our arts distirct not quality????(Hating houstonian downplaying Dallas AGAIN)
NY and Chicago dont have light rail...How are we tryna fool somebody? We DO have the largest light rail system in the U.S....you need to stop...light rail works fine for Dallas and its getting better.

Exactly.. These videos were a response to your pointless Dallas video, just a list of accolades and amenities.. Though Houston has 18 world class museums within walking distance of each other, a theater district second only to NYC, and an arts district that stomps on Dallas' "largest urban arts district".. Dallas doesn't have anything like Montrose or the Menil collection. Klyde warren is the main park in downtown Dallas, and it's only like 5 acres.. Downtown Houston has the 12 acre discovery green, the sprawling buffalo bayou park, market square park, the numerous pocket parks around downtown, and the soon to be park in southern downtown.

Klyde Warren Park is small but it drew 1 million visitors in its first year. Size and amount of parks don't matter, if it isn't effective in drawing people to it.
