Completely agree. North of Fort Worth even towns like Krum and Sanger are growing immensely. Krum is slated for 11,000 more homes. I'm curious if the Denton Enterprise Airport will one day have passenger flights for regular travel.
I don't expect the airports in DFW will grow beyond Love Field, DFW, and Alliance. The reason why is because of the Pandemic, the pilot and mechanic shortage of today, and a burden to tend to pollution. Love Field serves all that retail and wholesale surrounding it. DFW airport, at one time during the pandemic, became the busiest airport in the world, and the airlines are now remaking themselves to address the ongoing pilot and mechanic shortages. At best, all those other airports like McKinney airport should grow as larger general airports like Addison airport.
Instead of living on the fast growing north side of DFW, I think I would rather live a 1 hr. drive southeast of Dallas in the little (slow growing) town of Gun Barrel City, Texas. Sound more like a unique place. I would dare say it is cheaper and safer area to live in as well.😂
I live in the center of DFW, but have a weekend property in Tool, TX on the west side of CCL. Best investment I ever made. When I retire in a few years, that'll be home and I'll rent my DFW home to someone who wants to be part of the rat race.
I don't think you gave enough attention to the south of DFW. With USMCA (NAFTA 2.0), the Texas Triangle (DFW to A/SA to Houston) is going to blow up. For manufacturing, the closer a business can get to Mexico or the Houston Ship Channel, the better. In 30 years the southern tip of DFW might be Waco.
But that's probably why its gonna grow, if there's gonna be two highspeed transportation projects just south of Downtown, the area might become a major junction for future transport-oriented developments. Considering the logistics infrastructure land and human capital investments, the Southern sector could become the silicon valley of Logistics and one of transportation in the north
Downtown Fort Worth should grow a bit because of all that development west of Fort Worth. The central part of downtown Dallas is now The Crescent which is wrongly called Uptown. Meanwhile, the real Uptown should be classified as all that area between City-Place and Knox - Henderson.
I’m not so sure we’ll be all the way to the border in 20 years but, I do believe Prosper and most of Celina will be built out. Dallas North tollway will be complete. Dart will link all the way up into Frisco to the fields and another line that goes from Frisco to the Airport. Downtown Dallas will definitely have some more signature mix use towers and will also continue to density. The trinity river project will finally be complete. North of FT Worth will continue to fill in in places like Argyle, Northlake all the way to Denton.
I don't believe enough attention is given to the central part of DFW. The Arlington/Mansfield/Grand Prairie and HEB and Irving areas are near an expanding international airport--not to be dismissed in an interconnected global marketplace--and Arlington is investing heavily in building up an entertainment district and revitalizing its downtown region. The danger of explosive growth--like that to the north of DFW--is that it can fizzle as fast as it explodes as people look for the next shiny new thing. Growth should be sustainable economically, environmentally, allow for good mobility, and healthier lifestyles. Continued outward expansion will soon run up against Marchetti's constant and Braess's paradox which will dampen enthusiasm for continued sprawl. What opportunity and advantages DFW might have over other metros, including others within Texas, is a chance to try out the creation of multi-polar locations of density placed around the DFW area. Just where those will be located may vary, but certainly the urban cores of Fort Worth and Dallas as well as "created" urbanized cores such as Arlington's Entertainment district/downtown, possibly one on Fort Worth's west side, a Collin County core near Plano or McKinney and possibly a core in or near Alliance, Denton and perhaps a Sherman-Denison core as well. With wise leadership, it might also be possible to use A(G)I to coordinate governmental services and private sector services which serve the wider DFW communities using economies of scale, reduced duplication of services, more effective deployment of services, and better accountability. It could be a model for other large metro areas of the country, if we choose to do it.

Love these videos. I do think Downtown Dallas and uptown has some cool things going on though. A lot of old office being turned into residential.
Texlohoma will be new Silicon Valley it seems as per my opinion 😊
@Solo it's on the border of ok and tx
Hot take!
How about what it would look like due to the climbing temperatures and possible droughts as predicted by many scientists?
😂 yeah ok 👍
Wasn't NYC supposed to be underwater in 2012?😂
In seems like DFW is going to become like the LA metro area. Where there isn't really a core just a lot of dense suburbs joined together.
That's a great comparison! There's benefits of so many cores coming together, don't you think?

Have you look at the combined statistical area for Dallas Fort Worth it’s already in Bryan County Oklahoma
Right! About 8.2 million people live in the CSA now.
DFW 2042 12,300,000 population
The metro sprawl will rival present day Metro LA!
