If not uptown, where is the prime place?
M Streets/Lower Greenville
Yep, and Kessler Park/North Oak Cliff, Forest Hills and Little Forest Hills, Hollywood Heights, Disney Streets, Northaven Park and then of course The Park Cities.

Dallas is far from flawless, but at least they have zoning laws. Houston might as well be Mexico whwn it comes to that type of forethought/organization.

The neighborhoods in Dallas have plenty of trees..
Even one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Dallas, Park Lane/Fair Oaks has plenty of trees and plants. It's actually beautiful, it just wasn't safe when I moved away in 2010. They were in the early processes of gentrification then.
As you've mentioned, the area west of Central is prime real estate. White Rock Creek Trail,a wooded riding trail, goes from White Rock Lake to the Valley View area above 635. You can take another one that stays east of Central even further north.

South of downtown.

Further north.
The trees were there before the houses. Pic looking down Central Expressway towards downtown from 1949:

Dallas sucks arse simply because of the Cowboys and the Cowboys fans.

You can get a good job in Dallas. That’s great.

Dallas by far is light years better than Houston. It’s cleaner, easier to navigate, traffic isn’t complete hell like Houston, and there’s a helluva lot more to do on weekends
This. Anyone who has lived in both agrees with this statement

to me it's the opposite. i see a lot of love for houston and i really don't get it.
Posted on 5/23/22 at 6:42 am to GreatLakesTiger24
houston people are friendlier and seem more southern. dallas is colder, fancy, and too preppy

These debates are so dumb. They’re the same damn thing. They are extremely similar. Mostly generic. The people are typical metro people. Nothing special. It’s just somewhere people go as a stepping stone for their careers. I have no clue why any one would choose to live in either long term.
Both are overpopulated and never seem to stop growing. Developers keep coming further and further out to suburbanize the former rural areas. They build strips and neighborhoods then those get old too quick because no one takes care of them and they were cheaply built so they pick up and move further out to ruin another area.
Little to no planning. No bigger picture. Just build build build. It’s never ending.

I've lived in both towns. I'd trade it all for a shack overlooking a valley in Tennessee.

You're a troll but I think this is a fairly common sentiment
I think Houston people are more Southern, but Dallas people are relatable to anyone from SEC country. Dallas is very vanity-driven, but it's really not cold. The generational money in Dallas is more aloof that rude/elitist IMO.

The Dallas skyline is the most underwhelming skyline in the country

I’m from TN and I’d rather live in Dallas than ever go back lol

I’m nut saying it’s bad, but for the size of the city, the skyline is small and extremely disappointing. There are a lot of smaller cities with skylines that beat it.

I see people hate on Houston for xyz reasons and just give Dallas a pass on them for what reason? I’m sure Dallas is a lovely city to live in, but what makes it this flawless city that’s so special according to Houston haters?
1). Houston is definitely more forested than Dallas by far. Dallas looks more like your concrete sprawling city than Houston by far.
We have trees literally everywhere.

2). The Dallas skyline is the most underwhelming skyline in the country and it’s arguably the worst to navigate downtown. Yes, Houston has its bottleneck parts, but you are on cocaine if you think it’s worse than Dallas lol.
You lost me here

3). I get it, Dallas doesn’t get hit by hurricanes. However, it gets hit by snowstorms, tornadoes, and flooding. In addition, it’s also hot as satans balls sack in the summer too. At least Houston Winters are relatively mild and pleasant except 1 week out of the year.
doesn't flood here and the occasional ice/snow storm brings everything to a halt so it's not like you're out driving in it.

This is a bit contradictory but also accurate. I lived in Dallas and met plenty of people that faked being wealthy, but the few actual rich people I knew were really easygoing. The sad part is the former are the ones that drove the tone, thus the prevailing attitude that extremely conspicuous consumption was a positive trait.
Also, both lose for me because they aren’t walkable, there are no mountains nearby, and the weather is too extreme for my comfort.

they aren’t walkable,
Dallas has a few walkable neighborhoods. I live in the lower greenville area and I could survive without a car if I had to. As it is, we walk or bike to many places. Uptown is even more walkable and Bishop Arts area is another area you could walk/bike to many places. Obviously, Dallas isn't NYC. SF, Portland walkable but it has come a long way in the last 10 years.
