Does the OT prefer Dallas or Houston?

Dallas is a whole lot more pretentious. Tons of $30k/year millionairs. The material flexing is out of control.

Houston seems more down to earth, middle to upper middle class good ol’ people.

Both have tons of Mexicans killing people drunk driving every night. Mostly wrong way crashes.

My vote is Houston. The over flexing Jones are just unbearable in Dallas.

I live in Arlington, but don't go into Dallas much unless for an event. Both areas are good for jobs but really suck as there are too many people. Hopefully I can retire to east Tennessee away from a ton of people.

The correct answer should be ‘neither’ but the way you worded the question the answer is ‘Houston’

Dallas maybe more cosmopolitan,

Dallas is the epitome of ‘fake’ cosmopolitan. The 30k millionaire from 20 years ago is probably 50k millionaire now and just as douchey




Also Dallas may have the worse year round weather than any other major city in the country. At least other places have at least one good season, they are all miserable in DFW

Depends on what you’re looking for.

A one nighter with a heavily modified (read plastic surgery altered) hottie? Dallas - specifically either Uptown or somewhere like Highland Park like Park House or Inwood Tavern.

A more chill, less fake place to really enjoy? Houston.

Grew up close to Dallas but now prefer Houston. Humidity > Freezing cold, blustery heat, and Tornadoes

Dallas has far superior surrounding lakes over Houston but the pretentiousness of the people there gives the nod to Houston but not by much.

This.

Lived in both cities. Houston is just more blue collar, relaxing.

Pains me to say it, but I gotta go with Houston. The roads are less confusing. But still pretty damn confusing sometimes.

As someone who only started spending time in Houston a couple of years ago: it’s not the roads; it’s the signage. I’ll have a route plugged into my gps, know exactly what I’m looking for on a split, and I sometimes still miss the split I want because the only sign is placed essentially on top of the split. Hope you were already in the correct lane, because if not, enjoy your re-route. I genuinely don’t understand the logic.

I’m totally realistic about the pros and cons of both. Houston is awful. God awful weather and somehow worse traffic

And the “bad hombres” seem to be more scattered around Houston. I live in the city of Dallas and don’t lock my doors.

With that said, from an aesthetic and things to do outside point of view, both are pretty bad

I've lived in both and could make an argument for either but as I've gotten older I prefer the Far North Dallas suburbs.



I'm going to start my Indian language program next week so I can fit in though
