Idk I’m not the biggest fan of Atlanta but it doesn’t feel nearly as bland and boring as Dallas.
The suburbs are bland and boring. That’s their nature.
Dallas is anything but bland/boring, especially close to downtown. Downtown, the Arts District, Hardwood/Klyde Warren, Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, Knox-Henderson, Uptown/Turtle Creek, Park Cities/SMU, Trinity Groves, Lakewood/White Rock … all have immense and distinct character.
On the Fort Worth side, I’ll challenge you to find a more kickass area in another city than Clearfork Main. Neiman’s, Louis Vitton, etc. with pastures of longhorn cattle next door.
You’ve also got the Stockyards/Northside area, full of incredible history and modern/$$$ cool shite.
DFW is the 4th largest metro in the nation. It’s f’n massive. Yeah, the bedroom communities are all function over form, but that’s the nature of them anywhere. What Long Island is to NYC.

Don't forget Rape Highlands

I lived a few months in Plano 30 years ago. Any morning work I had in the direction of downtown, I’d have to leave 2 hours early for what normally would have been a 30 minute drive, just to make sure I got there on time. North Central Expressway.
Fun place to live, but that got old.

Awful place unless you love being on the highway I guess.

Houston/Dallas are perfectly fine. Just boring. If that floats your boat, good for you.
Sure man. God forbid people have different things they’re interested in than you. Excuse me for not bowing down to the all mighty DMV metro. I’m sure it’s so cool there and everyone is jealous that you get to live there.

There’s a high enough probability that I’d be willing to bet I’ve spent more time in more places around the world than most - you included, you simple, passive-aggressive frick.

Isn’t wrong
Lower Greenville, Munger/Swiss Ave., Skillman/Live Oak lots of character. Parts of Oak Cliff (southwest) remind me of New Orleans.

It's wild. I used to work in Sherman / Plano / Allen back in 2000 - 2002. Soulless sprawl. I love Texas but would never live up there.

I moved away 10 years ago and I would love to move back. Real estate is quite a bit more expensive though.

They have added two more loops around HOU since then.. lol Beltway 8 and now 99..
I just hate how HOU has no zoning laws. Also hate that there is minimal options for east west traffic flow off I-45 in Spring and Woodlands area.. have to wait in a mile backup at redlight just to cross over to other side of interstate.

Soon it will just be the DFW-Houston Metroplex once they meet.

I like the area. Family over there.
Rockwall is a nice area. Close enough to useful stuff.

It’s sort of the one thing that keeps it from being completely bland generic “everyplace.”
