I'm sorry. I love Houston, but DFW just does the urban developments better to me. Katy lacks one. Cypress lacks one. Bay Area lacks one.

There were supposed to be two in Kingwood, but we've not heard anything on them as of yet!

It might have something to do with the fact DFW lacks much unity like Houston. All the suburbs are trying to be individual from each other and the whole metro overall just ends up with a disjointed unorganized feel. In Houston everyone knows who runs the metro.. The suburbs all play second fiddle to the inner city..

IDK man. I think the projects in Houston are better and are in more practical locations. This project in particular is very bland but I can see the success due to it being close to Jerry Jones's stadium. I will say though, no projects in Texas top River Oaks, the Galleria expansion & Regent Square when it comes to "game changing" projects. When these are complete, Dallas wont stand a chance.

Uptown/the Galleria will be a beast of an area. NOTHING in the South will top Uptown/River Oaks area (610W) once these projects are completed.

My, have the tables turned...Dallas is now being made out to be what Houston is notorious for.

i found it pretty ironic too.. Houston manages to develop more "mixed use developments" IN Houston, even without zoning, while DFWs zoning has individualistic suburbs which create a lack of a true defined core.

DFW is more like driving through a bunch of different segregated regions. Houston is more cohesive in that sense.

even though the DFW metro has almost 500,000 more people than greater Houston, unlike Dallas, Houston is far and away the main power player in its metro.

Houston - population 2.2 million

next biggest city in the Houston metro

Pasadena - population 149,000

Houston is well over 10 times bigger than the next biggest city.

List of cities and towns in Greater Houston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

in DFW

Dallas - population 1.2 million

and then you have

Ft Worth - population 792,000

Arlington - 375,000

Plano - 275,000

Garland - 233,000

Irving - 225,000

Grand Prairie - 181,000

Dallas

all bigger than Greater Houstons second largest city.

Yes we have large suburbs....while having large populations they are still suburbs. Yes our suburbs create semi urban town centers IMO that's a great idea...it by no means take away anything or even compete with anything in Central Dallas..

You also keep forgetting that DFW and the Greater Houston area basically covers the same amount of space. So if we annexed our suburbs Dallas would be identical to Houston. A city with over 2 million people, no suburbs,sprawled to no end,spreaded out city services, run down suburban areas, sameness from one end to the other and traffic as far as the eye can see 24hrs a day.........THANK GOD Dallas DIDN'T annex any of our suburbs...now we can experience different vibes in different areas throughout the entire metroplex..Areas that are responsible for themselves where city services matter...These areas are self sufficient and they one up each other to death just to stand out....which is a good thing because this only sets Dallas up with a lot of top notch living surrounding the most interesting city center in Texas....In Dallas you just have to find the area that fits you.....which is awesome considering the volume of options .....To me this is what makes DFW interesting.
