Dallas suburb growth compared to Houston and San Antonio suburb growth.

Why have the Dallas suburbs exploded at a much faster rate than the Houston and San Antonio suburbs?
Don’t get me wrong, Houston is a sprawl not it’s not even close to the same amount of sprawl as DFW. Why is this?

Because the suburbs of DFW already exploded years ago
ETA: Sorry, I read it as why HAVEN'T DFW suburbs exploded. My Bad.
Dallas has way more real estate that is on solid rock and clay foundation. If you go much farther south and even east of Houston, you're in a swamp.

Isn't it simply that the City of Dallas itself is a much smaller municipality geographically than the other two?

That’s getting the question no where at all. If you don’t have something to say that makes sense then don’t say anything dude.

Oh so in other words, the city of Houston and Harris County are greedy and want all of it for themselves?

Because DFW is way better than San Antonio and Houston

What are you using as reference? Do you consider the woodlands Houston sprawl? Both (dallas and Houston) cities have a similar greater population. And why would you even bring San Antonio into the discussion?
ETA: clarification for those who think the I would be comparing the third largest city in the country to one of its suburbs in popultaion.

Beats me. I know jack about the ins and outs of various Texas municipal policies.

The Woodlands and Houston most definitely do not have similar populations.
The city of Houston has 2.3 million
The Woodlands township has 119K. But yes I say the Houston area sprawl begins at Conroe.

Houston does too. I don’t see how one has so much more of a sprawl and the other does not. It’s got to be the fact that the city of Houston has such a wide jurisdiction that it prevents surrounding areas from breaking off and being their own municipality.

Dallas has ice storms and tornadoes. Dallas has some drainage and a diverse economy.
Houston to the east and southeast has chemical plants, near sealevel flooding, and swamps. To the west, the sprawl got flooded bad, and that has to slow some growth.
San Antonio ?? has no water and some demographic problems
Houston has demographic problems that Dallas has no idea of.

Most non-tech corporate relocations pick DFW over Hou.
Simply because DFW has a slightly better climate and its central geography makes it easier to get to the rest of the country.

Some years back Harris County annexed Kingwood to get the tax money from a privileged affluent community to support inner city reparations. There were some very angry Kingwood residents, but it was all legal-like.

kingwood is ghetto woodlands
if they actually had money, they would have been able to fight the annexation.

even east side of the loop is very industrial, particularly north of 45. That is why the 3rd ward is being gentrified while the 5th is staying ghetto as frick

The climate isn’t all that different. It’s still hot as hell in the summer but it’s slightly less humid and more windy.
