While not true, it is definitely more cohesive than the segregated feel of DFW. Though the Houston metro is so big it varies from one side to another.

Oh yes... because Katy looks/feels just like Baytown, and Conroe looks/feels just like Galveston. Sugarland looks/feels just like Humble, and Montrose and Clear Lake are nearly identical.

I know you're just trying to be "funny" in your own patented way, but I seriously have to wonder who's actually laughing with you when you say these things.

If you were paying attention the "Sameness" applies to the city of Houston... not the itty bitty suburb commitee..



The whole conversation was about How Dallas suburbs are killing Dallas ....(per Texas Tallest and Trae713). Southernboy205 said he loves how Dallas suburbs create mini urban Town Centers...and Trae and T.T. exploded saying how the dallas suburbs take away from Dallas...and...all the doom and gloom that comes with it. ....not true!!

The suburbs, Fort Worth and Dallas work hand in hand for the betterment of all. Rising tide raises all boats. So many examples of this, too many to list. The proof is in the pudding.

Default It's what is so attractive about DFW.

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.
DFW is completely FULL of wonderful individual places. Fort Worth is so cool. Grapevine, Grand Prairie, McKinney, Allen, Irving........................ Literally a place for everyone. Almost all do a brillant job a running their city. All are like little cousins from east to west north to south. Very close cousins.

Woah now. Pot calling the kettle black?

There is much more of Houston in the greater Houston metro than there is Dallas in the DFW metro. What is so hard to understand about this? The suburbs of DFW dont function any different than the suburbs of Houston. I don't know why yall think they are so unique. As has been pointed out, Houston has multiple suburbs with "urban" town center type things/mixed use developments..

Actually the conversation was about the metro as a whole having a more cohesive feel, not the cities.

It's not that the suburbs are "killing" Dallas, it's just that Dallas would arguably be better off not having the suburbs sucking so much life out of the city.

I'm sure Southernboy by now realizes DFWs suburbs are much larger than Houstons, and thus have a draw for those kind of developments.

Looks like the residential development tied in with the new park on the Midtown Superblock just broke ground.. Hopefully the park is completed by 2017/the super bowl.

The only true urban MUD we have is CityCentre. CC is so great and successful that it should make developers wanna build more CityCentre style developments here.
