Better place to live?? Dallas metro or Houston metro? (Fort Worth: real estate, centers)

Because you act like you know everything. New Katy is widely used in the Katy area, yet you try to "teach" me and prove me wrong about an area that I grew up in. Pretty annoying. Again, I see what AlGreen is talking about.

I know it is hard to admit you are wrong, but sheesh you kept going on and on after we all proved you wrong in that busiest street thread. And now you wanna talk about people always being right? you have a hard time accepting that the truth is not like you thought it was.

Who "all" proved me wrong? I remember it being just you that said YOU proved me wrong, yet failed to mention that I believe it was 1960 that had the overall most hours of delay. And I was just extremely bored that day. Aren't you also the guy that thinks that Memorial City Mall is in Southwest Houston and not West Houston? Yeah...

Edit: I mean seriously, what are you trying to do here? I said Katy is its own city, then you tried to come in and correct me. As if I don't know the majority of the area known as "Katy" is in an unincorporated area. Hell, the drains by my Dad's house in Katy say "City of Houston" on them. Please.

That whole Katy thing gets confusing to me because now days, Katy is referred to like its its own metropolitan area (Katy vs Katy area). I think Scarface and Htownlove are both right to an extent in the respects that Katy (old Katy) is its own city and the Greater Katy area is still referred to as "Katy". The post office even designates areas like Cinco Ranch and others as "Katy", in spite of not technically being inside of Katy's city limits.

las colinas, like the woodlands, is more "upscale". westchase really isn't

I can agree with that..Westchase and Las Colinas comparable..meh not even..Westchase isn't that upscale at all..home to office buildings and big companies..but the residential areas surrounding them range from middle income to lower income. Even though I heard Las Colinas could be headed in that same direction in a couple years...but it still has that upscale look going for them over westchase

Yep. All areas between the Westpark Tollway/FM 1093 to the South, Fry Road to the East, FM 529 to the North, and western fringes of the City of Katy all have a "Katy, Texas" address.

*waits for Htownlove to try and "prove" me wrong*

Scarface you are not even worth correcting because after we correct you with links you either change the topic or carry on stubbornly with your wrong points. You said westheimer is not in the sw although it clearly is, and you maintained it wasn't even after I posted a link to the Greater Southwest chamber of commerce showing that it was in the southwest. and yes the memorial villages are in the SW

yeah, that is all I told Scarface. I don't see what he is arguing. He is saying the same thing I said 15 posts ago

Let's look at it again:

Take it from someone who grew up there. Seriously dude, you don't need to always try and be right and specific about everything. You know what I was talking about.

and they do refer to it as Old Katy
Katy, Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


never heard of new Katy.

I've heard it all while living there. And you have never heard of New Katy? That's what most people in the Katy area refer to South Katy as. Any C-D poster who lives in the Katy area will tell you this. Shows that you aren't always as right as you think you are. And if I was talking about the "Katy area" I would have said "the Katy area", not "Katy". Stop trying to be right all the time. It's pathetic. Always trying to find the smallest things to argue with me about.

So, I say that Katy is its own city, yet you try to correct me and say it is not. Yes, Katy is its own city. It's called the "City of Katy". Often nicknamed "Old Katy", "Downtown Katy", or "going into the city" by people who live in the area. Trust me, I would know. Don't need an outsider to try and correct me about a place I grew up in. You've been doing things like this a lot lately.

Who is the "we" you speak of? It's YOU and only YOU. You act like you have an army of people correcting my posts with links. It's only you. And no, Westheimer is NOT in the Southwest and no, the Memorial Villages are NOT in the Southwest. You're the only person I have ever heard try and call the Memorial Villages/Memorial City Mall area SW Houston. Anyone who knows Houston will laugh at you for thinking that. Those areas are simply West Houston. There is a reason why 59 is called the Southwest Freeway...and not just because it runs Southwest.
