Thank you for watching my video on How Dallas Will Dominate Texas. When making this video I didn't spend alot of time looking at smaller Texas cities, but if you would like to see a video on which smaller Texas city has the brightest future, please let me know here in the comments.
If Dallas is going to grow and continue to be an important hub, we’re going to have to focus on mass transit and building up more dense housing around every train station.
I see healthy future growth of DFW dependent on how it operates as an urban region, not just Dallas. Indeed, Dallas city isn't growing as fast as neighbor Fort Worth and many of the other suburbs of both places. If trends continue, Fort Worth will break the 1 million population mark (to Dallas's 1.3 million) sometime around mid-decade. The whole urban region is close to 8 million. I believe some of the closer in larger suburbs will begin to get denser as well as Dallas proper and Fort Worth proper (it's happening in Arlington). This raises an interesting opportunity for the whole urban region to look at operating services across the whole metro and not just each city, including the bigger suburbs, acting as they are stand-alone locations. Why not have a metro wide police force or transit system or social services entity taking advantage of economies of scale? Of course, that requires visionary leadership that can look past turf-ism.
People say "why Americans are obsessed over cars," but they do not say, "Why are people trying to make Americans obsessed over cars?" Cars are very fine to use if you rather want to be crowded on a long cube with several people than go to Illinois or NYC, and hopefully, your crab doesn't get looted or something much worse.
It's not going to happen unless there's a huge cultural shift. You have the NIMBY issue for one. The car culture will not change quickly unless you force it, that will have a backlash. Mass transit will not work like the other cities.
Saying any one city is the future of TX is just wrong because part of what makes TX such a force is that there are multiple big cities and tons of towns
As a Fort Worth resident, I am obligated to correct where you called it "DWF", as its "DFW" which stands for Dallas-Fort Worth 🙃 Something to note, Frisco/Plano are legit cities that aren't considered Dallas, so if you reapply the economic logic from your video to Texas cities (which I commend you on), it makes Fort Worth bump ahead of dallas for being the upcoming power house ;) Just found your channel and have been watching all your content. Huge fan looking forward to watching this channel grow!
I disagree with you. What people don't understand is Plano or Frisco or even Fort worth for that matter does not gain these population gains and boost if not for Dallas. It's Dallas that is the prime financial center in dfw. Number 1 economy in Texas and Number 4 behind New York Los Angeles and Chicago. The area is booming because of what Dallas has built financially. The other cities around it get to florish because of this. Dallas is nice but has even nicer suburbs probably best in the country which is why people move there instead of Dallas. But Dallas produced the jobs that brought them to the Dallas area and gave them the opportunity to move to those suburbs in the first place. You take Dallas out of the metroplex and these millions of people are not moving to the metro plex. Dallas is the heart and soul and power to the metro. It's the battery. Fort worth economy is very weak. It owes whatever it is today to Dallas.
I also noticed the “DWF” 😊. As for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, it is considered a “conurbation” with a number of metropolises, cities, and large towns have merged into one big area with a huge economy and many different cultures. Fort Worth, Arlington, Frisco, Denton, etc. all have their own unique characteristics. There’s something for everyone, and with all the opportunity at a relatively lower cost of living than other parts of the country, it makes sense why so many Americans are moving there.
@すし You are right. Dallas is number 6. Dallas is the most Important and significant economy in Texas right now. You can used any metric you like it still does not push Austin past Dallas. Everyone knows Dallas and Houston is Texas's bread and butter. Fortune 500 hundred companies are steadily relocating to Dallas plus the population increase. If this trajectory continues Dallas might only be looking up in economy and size to LA and New York.
@@labaroncharles1958all the suburbs look the same, cookie cutter. The suburbs in the New York, NJ, CT area have unique suburbs. North Shore of LI, Hudson Valley, North and Central Jersey, Jersey Shore, Gold Coast of Connecticut. Boston has historic and coastal suburbs. Philly has the Main Line, and Delaware County. All on natural bodies of water. Twin Cities have beautiful suburbs on natural lakes. The metroplex may be cheap, but wait until land is needed to BUILD more "lakes".
@deanchapman1824 well I disagree with you as a person born and raised in Dallas. Even most people that move to Dallas know that every city in the Metroplex will give you a different vibe. And I would also say is funny to me how people in places like New York and Chicago and Philly or some of the other places that you name like to try to talk about the things that Dallas Lack but are the main people that are moving to Dallas from these areas. If these places are so great then stay there is what I would say to these people and stop moving to Dallas. And let us stay our slow, cookie cutter, country, boring selves. In my opinion I think that whatever those suburbs you named might offer the overall Vibe of the east coast to me is very boring and depressing and there's not many sunny days there. It's normally always cloudy. People are very rude in the Northeast as when you get down south people are more hospitable and helpful and kind. To each his own but for me it's Dallas everyday all day over any other place in this country.
@@VahidMusictx Well, I don't think those specific things are "why there are millions of people living in DFW," but it is true that all three of those things were invented in (or near) Dallas, and the long presence of a technological base in the Dallas area is relevant to its current economic expansion (although it's only one of several factors).
Dumbest take I have ever heard. My opinion is because it is close to USA's remaining oil, there is lots of flat land to build out for the metro to metastasize, and it opts for property taxes instead of income, so it forces people on the edges to sell to keep the ponzi going.
Dallas needs real revitalization of its downtown. Former mayor laura miller killed the pedway system and hurt unique selling points about dallas that could be added onto. Texas weather in the summer is HOT. Having more open spaces that are air conditioned and allow people to loiter would be a good idea if you have a decent amount of security. As for transit they should integrate with ft worth and denton snd collin county and the NTTA and upgrade the system onto one department and fund that can do highways, and mass transit.
I grew up in a town that was about 20 miles south of the Oklahoma state line and 50 miles north of Dallas. It was rural community when I graduated high school almost 8 years ago. Now it’s a suburb and it’s population is predicted to triple by 2030. All of the rural Texans in my area, are selling out moving to Oklahoma and Arkansas. There is a growing dislike and distaste of Californians in Texas, even the conservative ones.
Not just Californians, but also people from Chicago, New York and other blue cities. These cities are not sending their brightest. I'm leaving Texas. This place is turning into a Rhino/Liberal and section 8/rental paradise
@@Walkingadversity Idaho and Montana is where you should look at moving to. conservative voters are being ran out of every major city in Texas. Collins county will go blue in 2024.
Im from Dallas, the biggest thing that brings us together us our, southern culture. My family has also lived in the Austin area for almost 200 years. Austin is the city in Texas most closely to California in my first hand experience.
@@nategz9875 No lol Austin is a college town 6 street music capital, etc Dallas is nothing like California. Linguistical Dallas natives speak country, Cali people don't. Dallas prides itself on its southern culture and history. Cali people pride themselves on their west coast culture, sunshine, beach and music and entertainment culture.
@@nategz9875 Yes I lived in southern California and the bay area. Totally different from Dallas. First hand experience, I was raised in Dallas my job brought me to Cali I lived there for a few years. Again totally different.
@@marcuscole1994 yeah because it would make more sense for all these microchip plants to be built in Houston because the port is right here making it easier to get everything you need to make the chips and ship them out to other markets. However Austin got the Tesla and Samsung plant and Dallas got the Texas Instruments plant. Hate to say it but Houston is stuck in the past. We keep focusing on oil and gas while the world is going electric.
I see the DFW metro as being the best option for many people, it's more affordable with more amenities. However the traffic in Houston and Dallas is the worst in Texas, so that's something to keep in mind.
Central Dallas is turning out to be a pretty well connected place of about nine square miles. The way distribution space in the metro recently surpassed Los Angeles to rank second only to Chicago and has become a financial center second only to New York City shows the city has arrived as a mega-city.
Great vid, would it be possible to lower the volume of the background music? I find it hard to hear what you are saying particularly when the guitar starts riffing
I’ve lived in DFW almost 6 years; very overrated. Hot as hell for 6-7 months of the year, you need a car to get anywhere (and traffic is ass almost anywhere in DFW) Dallas itself is kinda bland, very generic city Can’t wait to leave
Compared to where. Also, hot as hell 6-7 months out the year? That’s complete BS! Metro Dallas is literally only really hot 3 months out the year at worst and the rest of the year is great. I guess 80 degrees is hot to you lol! Even winters are mostly mild with the occasional cold front. This guy sounds like a troll to me! DFW not having a lot of natural beauty is probably its biggest draw back, but every city has a few. I would argue that Dallas only one. Traffic? Name a metro with 7.5 million people with better traffic! I’ll wait!
I was in Dallas for 2 years and now Plano for 2 years. It's all just one big suburb. I'm one of the few willing to move away because of traffic. I spent 155 hours in traffic last year per dash cam. That's ridiculous. Its becoming LA and it won't be recognizable in another decade. Especially as the eastern migration continues. We don't have the infrastructure to support another million drivers in the metroplex. 75, 635, 20, 30, Dallas tollway are all a train wreck waiting to happen. I've secured a permanent remote job and I'm looking for a smaller city when my lease is up in September.
@@Aggie4life77 What? 3 months? LMAO what planet are you on? The problem with Dallas is it's not the focal point of the metro. You guys brag too much about being a PART of DFW and not the main hub of the region. Another issue I noticed was the area is a giant conglomerate of suburbs that all work together for the metro. While that's technically a good thing, it also put's places like Arlington, Irving and Plano on the same level as Dallas in terms of how money is spent in the region. This means that not every cultural landmark in the region is in Dallas but it shares those landmarks with other places. This can make Dallas feel a bit dead and lacking in some things.
Dallas to Oklahoma City- Monster metroplex of the future! We really need to think about moving the nations capital to the center of the country like Kansas City or Omaha as that is the only way we will ever be able to drain the swamp.
I think Houston is more important than Dallas because of the oil and gas. When a hurricane hit Houston all the gas went up across the south east also the South
Too damn hot 🥵. Complete madness, to live in a place where you basically can't do sports and similar things outside for at least 1/3, rather 1/2 of the year.
Your complaining about it being hot in a city that’s in a SOUTHERN STATE. ofc it’s gonna be hot there but that doesn’t mean you can’t play sports, you just don’t have the stomach to do so🤷♂️🤣
In the past Dallas was more important yes. But because of the aerospace, oil/gas, and if anything just the port and access to water makes houston the better city of the future. Much more land, faster growth, and more potential to be a powerhouse than Dallas it’s about to overtake Chicago as the 3rd biggest city in USA. It wouldn’t surprise me if one day it would reach close to LA and San Francisco area can’t say that about Dallas. Also as an international city level Dallas was ranked B plus and Houston A minus. Look it up
DFW metroplex will overtake Chicagoland before Houston passing up Chicago city population. Most of Texas booming population are now in these metros suburbs. City limit population are actually declining. I do agree that Houston is slightly more international bc of the port, TMC and energy industry.
@baopham8676 only one problem with that.....W A T E R. In order for this to effectively happen, they will need to BUILD more "lakes" (reservoirs). That will take lots of LAND. Sure there's lots of land there, but now you're talking about gobbling up who towns and private property. In any event, no matter how big Dallas area grows, it will never be the city Chicago is in terms of architecture and character. Chicago may have its problems, but it has WATER.
@@deanchapman1824 DFW has 8.1 million and Chicagoland is at 9.3 million. At 18% growth every decade, DFW will add 150k per year and should overtake Chicago as the 3rd largest metro within 10 years. People are moving there because of job opportunities and corporate relocation. Lack of architecture, history, urban layout and not having a big body of fresh water is not slowing anything down.
@@baopham8676 I agree with what you said except that city limits are declining. In Houston it’s sky rocketing, they’re building skyscrapers left and right even outside of the downtown / uptown areas
Can anyone help me out with the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge??? Why is a bridge like that needed to go over a stream??? I understand the flooding at times. Usually a bridge like that is so that tall ships can pass under. Is the Trinity navigable??? St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Twin Cities, are inland, but they are all on a river with access to the ocean. Seems to me that Dallas has an inferiority complex.
That bridge is not that high over the water, but it does need to be able to withstand the pressure of drastic increase of water flow in the spring months. The design is partly about engineering, partly about aesthetics.
Texas is currently passing laws to make gambling legal in Texas. Dallas will soon have multiple Casino resorts in the heart of the city with the city of Vegas leading the construction. Keep up.
It’s not accurate to say that Dallas is the most important city in Texas. Both Dallas/Ft Worth and Houston’s GDP are pretty much neck and neck. Austin is on the rise but DFW and Houston remain the 2 major powerhouses in the state.
Your correct good sir, it's Dallas Fort-Worth. I have regrettably made this kind of minor grammar/spelling error in a few videos. I have always done all this work on my own, spending about 40 hours on each video. But going forward I will have someone I trust double-check all content before it's uploaded,to ensure these minor errors don't happen.
And just curries why Fort Worth doesn’t get mentioned like you mentioned the other big cities in Texas. Fort Worth is their own city. We are not Dallas. Fort Worth just a million people. We are not a Dallas suburb. Fort Worth is our own city.
Dallas is NOT the cultural hub of Texas I don't think. You're using DFW and calling it Dallas, that's not fair. You don't get to use things built in Frisco (literally 45 min north) and Ft Worth or Arlington and call them Dallas.
I agree that the vid is saying "Dallas" but actually talking about a series of economic and demographic phenomena that pertain to the DFW region as a whole, not just Dallas. Although there's an argument to be made regarding the future overall impact of DFW in comparison to the other Texas urban regions, it isn't ironclad, and it will not be based simply upon Dallas itself.
I loved Texas once, we even ensured our children were born there . Now its where Freedom died, and with armpit Florida the corpse is lynched daily. As all its neighbors say : Tuck Fexas
No I make videos about cities and states all over the country, but I have been pretty much everywhere I talk about, and I have a public email for locals to reach out.
@@SomethingDifferentFilmsyou called it the DWF. Is DFW. And you made it seem like Fort Worth is a section in Dallas. Fort Worth is the 12th largest city in America with one million people. We are a major city. Not a section of Dallas.
@@Damianoutlaw So, IAH is Houston, not Dallas. The Austin airport is bigger than and handles more passenger traffic than Dallas Love. Dallas also is the headquarters for American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, so that is why there is a high concentration of flights that go to/through Dallas. That doesn’t mean Dallas is more dominant. It just means Dallas is the hub for 2 airlines while Austin isn’t a hub for anyone. That doesn’t make Dallas the future.
@@Michael-kf7gm Austin has a small airport compared to DFW in Dallas and IAH in Houston. The biggest, most important cities always have the most air traffic and Austin doesn't come close to Houston or Dallas......two cities with multiple airports. Dallas.and Houstons secondary airports Love and Hobby are each comparable to the main Airport in Austin which is Bergstrom Airport.
@@Damianoutlaw That’s false. In 2022, Austin had 10.382 million passengers go through its airport. Love had 7.819 million and Hobby had 6.462 million. Austin Bergstrom is considered a major airport. Love and Hobby are not. ATL had 45.396 million whereas LAX had 32.326 million. Nobody would argue that Atlanta is a bigger more important city than Los Angeles. Atlanta just gets more traffic because Delta is headquartered there. Los Angeles is still the 2nd largest city in the U.S. Atlanta is 37th.
Meh, nothing in your video proved Dallas is any better than any other Texas supercities, specifically Houston, which you could easily make just as many similar general points about, and then some.
@@SomethingDifferentFilmsHouston does have a big oil connection, but it also has a major international US port, the world's largest medical center, NASA's Johnson Space Center, Ellington Air Force base, major universities like Rice, and is home to other big corporations unrelated to oil, such as Hewitt Packard. I would also be interested to know if such oil-related economic shifts don't generally apply to Dallas as well, if perhaps to a slightly lesser degree.
@@heliomoonwave Texas depends on it's oil industry in general so from what I have seen all of it's cities have a real connection to the industries swaying cycles. Also Houston is America's fourth biggest city, so it has better amenities and I would argue entertainment opportunities in general. I just see the Dallas area setup best as the states heartland going into the next decade or so. You could make a strong argument for Houston (or even Austin) as well though.
Dallas has that cool factor like Miami. And it is the financial hub of Texas. Most cities in Texas don’t even come close in my opinion. Austin blows! Sorry but not sorry! 😂
Dallas resident here. Y'all stay away. Go to Houston. Leave Dallas alone, we got our own thing. Ft. Worth is great too, go there! Y'all like old west stuff, go to Ft.Worth. Dallas is full already, we don't need you. Bye.
I moved to Dallas a year go and I'm bringing my entire family. 4 of my friends all decided to move here and bring their entire families all from LA and Seattle. I forgot to mention we will vote Blue.
If Dallas wants to be a popular place to live, they really need some actual culture, and more affordable homes, because as it currently stands, it’s just a giant office park surrounded by single family homes
They need more tech companies although there are some they need to have like some palm trees and like amusement park like a six flags or a marvel DC theme park wasnt Office space shot in Texas and chuck norris walker Texas Ranger and the 80’s show Dallas all shot up in Dallas. That also what makes Dallas so known for and best sports teams cattle ranch and oil tacos buriitios corn and steak 🥩

Yeah what the hell was that about

I was in Dallas for 2 years and now Plano for 2 years. It's all just one big suburb. I'm one of the few willing to move away because of traffic. I spent 155 hours in traffic last year per dash cam. That's ridiculous. Its becoming LA and it won't be recognizable in another decade. Especially as the eastern migration continues. We don't have the infrastructure to support another million drivers in the metroplex. 75, 635, 20, 30, Dallas tollway are all a train wreck waiting to happen. I've secured a permanent remote job and I'm looking for a smaller city when my lease is up in September.
@@Aggie4life77 What? 3 months? LMAO what planet are you on? The problem with Dallas is it's not the focal point of the metro. You guys brag too much about being a PART of DFW and not the main hub of the region. Another issue I noticed was the area is a giant conglomerate of suburbs that all work together for the metro. While that's technically a good thing, it also put's places like Arlington, Irving and Plano on the same level as Dallas in terms of how money is spent in the region. This means that not every cultural landmark in the region is in Dallas but it shares those landmarks with other places. This can make Dallas feel a bit dead and lacking in some things.
“Hot as hell for 6-7 months” did it not occur to you that you live in a city in the south where it’s usually always hot most of the time?☠️
Dallas to Oklahoma City- Monster metroplex of the future! We really need to think about moving the nations capital to the center of the country like Kansas City or Omaha as that is the only way we will ever be able to drain the swamp.
Oklahoma City doesn’t count.
Including d texas triangle sa Austin Houston all one mega city corscuant style
1:01 did you really just call it the dwf? Bro it's DFW
Help Texas and Florida become legalized
1:01 I live in Dallas Worth Fort.
I think that of all the smaller cities in Texas some of the border cities will do the best such as El paso
Based on what exactly? El Paso has way to many illegal immigrants to be a good city!
@@Modine. Well those illegal immigrants might have skill
@@bozobryant7856 Think again because they don't. Why do you think there also called unskilled workers?
@@Modine.They are much harder workers
@@bozobryant7856 Only If you consider mowing a yard a skill.
yay, Dallafornia is on the map....
I think Houston is more important than Dallas because of the oil and gas. When a hurricane hit Houston all the gas went up across the south east also the South
1:05 DWF? Bizarro DFW
Even Burlington, Vermont with 45,000 people, has more architecture, character, and scenery than the entire metroplex!!!!
Just think of all the taxes they could collect off of marijuana to help Texas
"Why Dallas is the future of Mexico" fixed it for ya
Too damn hot 🥵.
Complete madness, to live in a place where you basically can't do sports and similar things outside for at least 1/3, rather 1/2 of the year.
Your complaining about it being hot in a city that’s in a SOUTHERN STATE. ofc it’s gonna be hot there but that doesn’t mean you can’t play sports, you just don’t have the stomach to do so🤷♂️🤣
@@Ericgomez214 you’re a southerner. Your stomach is too big for sports 😂
In the past Dallas was more important yes. But because of the aerospace, oil/gas, and if anything just the port and access to water makes houston the better city of the future. Much more land, faster growth, and more potential to be a powerhouse than Dallas it’s about to overtake Chicago as the 3rd biggest city in USA. It wouldn’t surprise me if one day it would reach close to LA and San Francisco area can’t say that about Dallas. Also as an international city level Dallas was ranked B plus and Houston A minus. Look it up
DFW metroplex will overtake Chicagoland before Houston passing up Chicago city population. Most of Texas booming population are now in these metros suburbs. City limit population are actually declining. I do agree that Houston is slightly more international bc of the port, TMC and energy industry.
@baopham8676 only one problem with that.....W A T E R. In order for this to effectively happen, they will need to BUILD more "lakes" (reservoirs). That will take lots of LAND. Sure there's lots of land there, but now you're talking about gobbling up who towns and private property. In any event, no matter how big Dallas area grows, it will never be the city Chicago is in terms of architecture and character. Chicago may have its problems, but it has WATER.
@@deanchapman1824 DFW has 8.1 million and Chicagoland is at 9.3 million. At 18% growth every decade, DFW will add 150k per year and should overtake Chicago as the 3rd largest metro within 10 years. People are moving there because of job opportunities and corporate relocation. Lack of architecture, history, urban layout and not having a big body of fresh water is not slowing anything down.
@@baopham8676 I agree with what you said except that city limits are declining. In Houston it’s sky rocketing, they’re building skyscrapers left and right even outside of the downtown / uptown areas
DWF?
😂
Can anyone help me out with the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge??? Why is a bridge like that needed to go over a stream??? I understand the flooding at times. Usually a bridge like that is so that tall ships can pass under. Is the Trinity navigable??? St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Twin Cities, are inland, but they are all on a river with access to the ocean. Seems to me that Dallas has an inferiority complex.
That bridge is not that high over the water, but it does need to be able to withstand the pressure of drastic increase of water flow in the spring months. The design is partly about engineering, partly about aesthetics.
They said Austin was the future of Texas a couple of years ago 😂. Which one is it?
Marijuana for Texas veterans
I live in DWF 😎
Dallas needs to have one casino
Texas is currently passing laws to make gambling legal in Texas. Dallas will soon have multiple Casino resorts in the heart of the city with the city of Vegas leading the construction. Keep up.
@@bervicksimien2848how long?
It’s not accurate to say that Dallas is the most important city in Texas. Both Dallas/Ft Worth and Houston’s GDP are pretty much neck and neck.
Austin is on the rise but DFW and Houston remain the 2 major powerhouses in the state.
The future of Texas is a big marijuana business to build a big ass wall 😎🦁
uhhhh dwf? Its DFW my dude.
Your correct good sir, it's Dallas Fort-Worth. I have regrettably made this kind of minor grammar/spelling error in a few videos. I have always done all this work on my own, spending about 40 hours on each video. But going forward I will have someone I trust double-check all content before it's uploaded,to ensure these minor errors don't happen.
I’ve stopped watching after “DWF” - really?
Dallas is about where Los Angeles was back in the late 90s. It is growing but nowhere near the same population density.
well with all these damn people moving here, it was not how it looked like 4 or 5 years ago.
LA is no longer important or relevant. That’s why everyone is leaving and coming here to Texas.
And just curries why Fort Worth doesn’t get mentioned like you mentioned the other big cities in Texas. Fort Worth is their own city. We are not Dallas. Fort Worth just a million people. We are not a Dallas suburb. Fort Worth is our own city.
Bro....no one outside of Tarrant County cares about FT Worth.
Big city
Dallas is NOT the cultural hub of Texas I don't think. You're using DFW and calling it Dallas, that's not fair. You don't get to use things built in Frisco (literally 45 min north) and Ft Worth or Arlington and call them Dallas.
Agreed. Fort Worth A major city in DFW and across the nation
I agree that the vid is saying "Dallas" but actually talking about a series of economic and demographic phenomena that pertain to the DFW region as a whole, not just Dallas. Although there's an argument to be made regarding the future overall impact of DFW in comparison to the other Texas urban regions, it isn't ironclad, and it will not be based simply upon Dallas itself.
Dallas is a hub for boring people. Houston is the real capital of Texas.
The suburbs would not exist without Dallas or irs airports
The DWF? 😂 You mean DFW..
Fort Worth is better. And please don’t think Fort Worth and Dallas are the same. Stop putting us together. We Fort Worth Texans don’t claim Dallas.
I loved Texas once, we even ensured our children were born there . Now its where Freedom died, and with armpit Florida the corpse is lynched daily. As all its neighbors say : Tuck Fexas
Fort Worth and Dallas metro area needs to vote Republican. Keep Texas Red
Stop.
@29Texan
No, he should keep moving forward and speak facts!
@@AngelicoCiudad opinions aren't facts, kid. Neither city is "red", so it's irrelevant from the start.
@29Texan
I know. How sad isn't it. No wonder why it's so violent and trashed. Being red is the only thing to save it.
Fort Worth definitely is. But Dallas is a fruit pop liberal city. Lol.
Whoever made this video is definitely not from here. Lol.
No I make videos about cities and states all over the country, but I have been pretty much everywhere I talk about, and I have a public email for locals to reach out.
@@SomethingDifferentFilmsyou called it the DWF. Is DFW. And you made it seem like Fort Worth is a section in Dallas. Fort Worth is the 12th largest city in America with one million people. We are a major city. Not a section of Dallas.
@VahidMusictx it looks like we have our stereotypical insecure FT Worth resident.
I disagree. I think Austin will dominate Texas in the future.
Dallas has two airports that are both bigger than Bergstrom.
Austin international is miniscule compared to DFW and IAH
@@Damianoutlaw So, IAH is Houston, not Dallas. The Austin airport is bigger than and handles more passenger traffic than Dallas Love. Dallas also is the headquarters for American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, so that is why there is a high concentration of flights that go to/through Dallas. That doesn’t mean Dallas is more dominant. It just means Dallas is the hub for 2 airlines while Austin isn’t a hub for anyone. That doesn’t make Dallas the future.
@@Michael-kf7gm Austin has a small airport compared to DFW in Dallas and IAH in Houston.
The biggest, most important cities always have the most air traffic and Austin doesn't come close to Houston or Dallas......two cities with multiple airports.
Dallas.and Houstons secondary airports Love and Hobby are each comparable to the main Airport in Austin which is Bergstrom Airport.
@@Damianoutlaw That’s false. In 2022, Austin had 10.382 million passengers go through its airport. Love had 7.819 million and Hobby had 6.462 million. Austin Bergstrom is considered a major airport. Love and Hobby are not. ATL had 45.396 million whereas LAX had 32.326 million. Nobody would argue that Atlanta is a bigger more important city than Los Angeles. Atlanta just gets more traffic because Delta is headquartered there. Los Angeles is still the 2nd largest city in the U.S. Atlanta is 37th.
@@Michael-kf7gm Austin is small time compared to Dallas.
Dallas has better traditional infrastructure??? Seriously??? 😂😂😂
Houston is far better. Dallas is depressing downtown low riseouston greener.
Meh, nothing in your video proved Dallas is any better than any other Texas supercities, specifically Houston, which you could easily make just as many similar general points about, and then some.
Houston is far too dependant on oil. You see huge shifts in employment, housing prices, and population trends from the oil booms to the oil busts.
They're both super bland. The Houston train station is a complete JOKE!!!!😂
@@SomethingDifferentFilmsHouston does have a big oil connection, but it also has a major international US port, the world's largest medical center, NASA's Johnson Space Center, Ellington Air Force base, major universities like Rice, and is home to other big corporations unrelated to oil, such as Hewitt Packard. I would also be interested to know if such oil-related economic shifts don't generally apply to Dallas as well, if perhaps to a slightly lesser degree.
@@heliomoonwave Texas depends on it's oil industry in general so from what I have seen all of it's cities have a real connection to the industries swaying cycles. Also Houston is America's fourth biggest city, so it has better amenities and I would argue entertainment opportunities in general. I just see the Dallas area setup best as the states heartland going into the next decade or so. You could make a strong argument for Houston (or even Austin) as well though.
Houston smells bad
Mmm houston is better
Dallas has that cool factor like Miami. And it is the financial hub of Texas. Most cities in Texas don’t even come close in my opinion. Austin blows! Sorry but not sorry! 😂
But no ocean/beaches 😐
This is funny asf 😂😂 this video is full of lies
Dallas resident here. Y'all stay away. Go to Houston. Leave Dallas alone, we got our own thing.
Ft. Worth is great too, go there! Y'all like old west stuff, go to Ft.Worth.
Dallas is full already, we don't need you.
Bye.
Don't nobody give a f*ck If we want to move there we will!!!
Lol at gatekeeping a city
I moved to Dallas a year go and I'm bringing my entire family. 4 of my friends all decided to move here and bring their entire families all from LA and Seattle. I forgot to mention we will vote Blue.
@petittall557 Why in the world would you want to move to Dallas Texas from Seattle, Seattle is a beautiful city.
@@richardedmiston3756 cost of living for one
If Dallas wants to be a popular place to live, they really need some actual culture, and more affordable homes, because as it currently stands, it’s just a giant office park surrounded by single family homes
They need more tech companies although there are some they need to have like some palm trees and like amusement park like a six flags or a marvel DC theme park wasnt Office space shot in Texas and chuck norris walker Texas Ranger and the 80’s show Dallas all shot up in Dallas. That also what makes Dallas so known for and best sports teams cattle ranch and oil tacos buriitios corn and steak 🥩
Dallas needs to be little more like Austin
Dallas is in fact a popular place to live. The hate in your comment is funny lol.
Dallas is great. It's a quiet metro. That's what makes it unique
Office park? No culture? Are you even taking about city of Dallas? I’m not talking about the suburbs.
