Las colinas, Irving, Arlington, etc are unequivocally the burbs 
Yeah las colinas has a lot of business high rises going up, but that doesn't change anything. Plano and Richardson have them too and they are without a doubt suburbs.
The cowboys moving to a city that was dumb enough to vote for a sales tax increase to get the stadium doesn't make that city not a suburb.

Las colinas is a master planned part of Irving. It's a suburb within a suburb that attracted a lot of business in the 80s.

At least the one in Frisco gets to be used by the city.
High school games play there and now the Dallas pro lacrosse team will play there too.

@TH03 So when Collin County is > than Dallas County we can then say Dallas is a suburb if we are going by definition then right?
Las Colinas is 100% LEGIT. You have award-winning master planners building subdivisions here. Accompanied by an emerging downtown scene and multiple fortune 500 HQ's, to act like this is some baron chain cookie cutter suburb is disingenuous.
The Star is in Frisco.
In 5-10 years, the "burbs" will have caught up to the urban core.

Suburbs are the future, again
They're becoming urban satellites that are taking on a life of their own

No that's absurd.

That's like the definition of a suburb

But it is. Outside of the richer neighborhoods, it's all master planned cookie cutter.

So does the Plano Frisco area.

Adding more cookie cutter subdivisions doesn't make it the same
I'm not even trying to be pretentious here, honestly. You just can't with a straight face tell me that las colinas, a developed area of an existing Dallas suburb, is not a suburb solely because businesses are there and it's a really cool master planned area.

it was funny while it was being built that when the the O&G business took a dump(I'm assuming that was what was behind it's development,) it just stood there for years where development stopped, canals unfinished, inter-business railway unfinished, empty brand new office buildings, I guess tech eventually bailed it out, because of its location(on a flood plain
,) something had to eventually populate there

I mean, sure, but the urban areas of most Dallas suburbs are the same basic concept. Like an outdoor mall concept that slightly resembles a Main Street kind of vibe. Shops at legacy and legacy west in Plano, Frisco square, watters Creek in Allen, the design for the new entertainment district at the rangers new ballpark, etc.
They all have like a bed bath and beyond, a bunch of nicer chain restaurants, an Irish pub, maybe a couple local Dallas chains, etc. They're fun, sure, but given the choice, I'll go to deep ellum or bishop arts or lower greenville before those places.

Y'all are arguing over nothing. You just both have to have the last word so this will continue with you both saying the same exact thing over and over again.
TH03 is going to tell everyone how dumb they are.
50_Tiger is going to argue that a suburb, that embraces it's exitstence as a suburb, is not a suburb. (for the record just because it's a suburb doesn't mean it's not nice or a desirable place to live, but it's 100% a burb)

Honestly, it's good for everyone (I've seen legacy and the like in Dallas and we have the same stuff going on for ATL).
Suburbs get more dynamic offerings which enhances attractiveness of the suburban retail/restaurants to visitors and city dwellers. For those of us living in the city itself, it probably means fewer people are crowding our shops/restaurants and clogging up roads in the process. It offers a package for corporate relocations to the suburbs that have the space and tax breaks for such things.
And people in the city are probably more willing to go out to the suburbs when the offerings are better, which helps suburbs sustain higher end things that may have failed in prior decades. For example, despite living in-town Atlanta, we go to the shops and restaurants around Suntrust Park and occasionally venture up to Avalon.

In my 20's I would have preferred to live in the city but we lived in the burbs because it was more affordable. Now in my 40's I'd prefer to live in burbs but we live in the city because of the traffic

This is my goal (in 2018 dollars) and I'll coast. But she's going to part time after kids so it will be tough.
Hopefully by the time I'm 35-37 I can bring that home myself and she can stay home.

What? No, that's absurd. Is Orleans Parish a suburb of JP based on that? You're being obtuse.

My old man told me "it's usually not what can you do. It's what are you willing to do." that makes you successful.
I always found book smarts to be easy. I have a lot of acquaintances and buddies that I know are MUCH "slower" mentally than me who put me to shame earnings wise. They just bust their butts and put up with stuff that I am not willing to handle. I know senior VPs that I came up with, and I say "Really? THAT guy?" Maybe they are actually "smarter" than me or at least tougher.
You sound like one of my buddies.
Also, like RogerTheShrubber seems to hint at, more income isn't more happiness. I could stand a little more money, though. A place in Destin might make me a little happier.
