- Who will stop Dallas' growth to become the heart of the American nation? Certainly no one! No City, even! Dallas is on a mission to become the best city in the US and there are no doubts about the fact that it will achieve this by 2050.
Join us in this video as we explore the DALLAS INSANE CITY OF THE FUTURE IN 2050!
I live in Dallas. And let me tell you , Dallas is changing so fast . It's just insane.
Been here for 47 years and that's pretty much been the norm.
I've living dallas for 20 years.....
I loved dallas, but now...... Traffic is horrible.
I moved to Dallas in 1997, so I've seen a lot of growth and change in this city (especially in Downtown Dallas which is very lively now that it is more gentrified). With such a so-called "boom" in Dallas, I really which they would address the streets and roads which are in desperate need of repair. Most roads need to be repaved. Hard to imagine how Dallas can continue to grow without addressing this basic need.
DFW has been under constant construction on most of the major highways my entire life. Especially i35 635 and i75
@@cooperammons3243 yes the highways are good in many spots but the city roads are TERRIBLE it’s actually appalling, this is what happens when you defund government infrastructure, we need a proper power grid and city roads, around 700 people died during the black outs and I know many people who had the pipes in their apartments and homes burst
these roads are making me develop back issues prematurely. It's more then a little irritating.
When Family and friends visit they says “ Dallas got nice houses but crappy roads”.
There were only 200 people living in Downtown Dallas in 1997. It has definitely improved with more residents as a result of the repurposed high rises.
Dallas’ inflation is about 2% higher than National average….so the whole “cheaper” here than anywhere else argument is losing strength. In 5 to 10 years it will be more expensive than National average.
Still cheap come to Hawaii and we can talk expensive.
Did the video say it was “cheaper than anywhere else”? Is Dallas’ inflation higher than national metropolitan average?
Exactly, he said 5% below national average. Which is good for large scale urban living… you can always check out Tupelo Mississippi
You're missing the point. California has moved here and is causing everything to go sky high, SO in 5 to 10 years wellbeing just as miserable or more than you all.
Texas is a big state with a few metroplexes. With what you make here is up to your ambition. I spent a week in Vegas and a few days in Cali earlier this year. It is waaay cheaper.
I'm only 21 and I still remember when most of Allen was fields. The change is unbelievable.
Oh yeah, I remember when Allen only had 1 single traffic light at the corner of Greenville and Main. Been here sicne 1984.
I was born in the mid 70s and spent the first 5 years of my life in Lucas just south of McKinney. That was rural boondocks back then. 75 was still a two lane highway up there.
@@franciscodanconia4324Wow that’s crazy I didn’t go that far up north until 2010 I missed the development of that area I’m from Grand Prairie.
Dallas needs a lot of work to become "the best city" in the nation. Public transportation needs a complete rehaul. Local subways are needed and so is regional rail. The freeways seem to be half heartedly put together causing more traffic even in non rush hour conditions.
I moved to Dallas is 2011 and yes it has grown but the infrastructure is not ready to handle even more influx of people.
Go back to your state
The city of Dallas already has rail and a few suburbs do too. Many suburbs don’t want public transpiration and we can’t force them to. They’ve voted it down multiple times.
I’ve lived in Uptown Dallas since 2007 and it has definitely changed. We actually did lose a LOT of business and jobs here during the heart of the pandemic. We need infrastructure work and definite help with the skyrocketing taxes. This video is not 100% accurate to us living in the heart of it. Fort Worth is Cowtown. I grew up South of Fort Worth and that is never going to change. I’m a country girl who moved to the city. Dallas and Fort Worth are not the same. Lumping them together is a mistake.
@@214dude2 Take them to Stockholm or Copenhagen for a month. They won't wanna come back to their soul crushing copy and paste suburbs I'll tell you that
Dallas is like new york dawg. Jus cause some of you locals live in a shi tty area doesnt make Dallas what it isnt
I grew up in Frisco and it’s insane even in my short lifetime how much growth this place has seen. Just mind boggling how the whole place is like a construction zone and to see FM423 and Preston Rd turn into some triple lane insane major roads is just something to behold.
I just wish all the new mass produced neighborhoods theyre building werent so damned ugly
not farm market rd
And go from just a few high schools to 12 is insane!
@@zakford6291 hahaha so true. I went to Frisco High, Na the only others were Centennial and later on Wakeland.
When you were a child did you ever think you would live in India?
Homeless have increased, flooding still apparent. Only fix streets around the higher income families. Homeownership now out of reach middle and lower class. List goes on
Really good assessment! 5 minute hard rain=chaos.
Anyone who’s been to Dallas knows to make the city updated and futuristic, it’ll cost untold billions.
In 2050 it'll be like Cali is now. Thanks for coming out.
I surely hope NOT!
this is what we don't want
It'll be worse than Cali trust me!
I'm a Dallas/Ft Worth native it's insane how much it's grown since I was a kid in the 80s! But this is always been a money making area so I guess I can't be to surprised
Me too but I don’t like it here now. It has no culture and it’s congested here now.
@@karmenjane1257 So true! I really hate that! DFW is home and my family has historic landmarks here but not going to lie I've considered leaving but if I did I would probably come back lol
Yea but them Californians fucked their shit up & now they all moving here to do the same bs we don't want them here bcuz of tht since u live in Tx u know most of us feel the same way abt them they just never learn in fact they got more greedy 😤🤬
@@official_OxCxJ Yeah I agree
There is no such a city called Dallas/Fort Worth. 2 separate cities. Yes I know it’s called dfw but that’s a Nick name after the Dallas Fort Worth international airport was made. But you can’t be from Dallas/Fort Worth because there no such thing. I’m from Fort Worth and i don’t say I’m from Dallas Fort Worth. Here in Fort Worth we don’t claim Dallas. Smh.
I grew up in the Addison/Carrollton area and I remember the George Bush Turnpike and those those northern suburbs didn't even exist. Preston Road was a small road that disappeared into Plano and the land where the House I grew up in was forested. It was until the early 2000s that development started to pick up.
I love living in Dallas it has been my home for many years.
Great video and presentation, but for a Dallas native myself, born and raised... All this information is essentially just bad news. So many are moving here, it's crowded, cost of living is extremely high... Most people move here or love it here because even though we're a large city. It still felt 'spacious'. Now the way it's headed seems to me it'll be just like California pretty soon. Smh
you have to look at it from their pov; they see potential but for us natives it's foreboding of dystopian future after all the growth has settled down.
@@MarquosXoloVanda yeah you're right. I don't like change, but has it happen right 😔
Any place that is desirable to live in, will have cost of living go up. If you don't want people moving to Dallas, then you can support policies that make Dallas a shitty place with no jobs or businesses where people don't want to move to. Or, you can make Dallas a nice place to live, and have more people move in, while increasing cost of living. This happens with every city, but Dallas is positioned to handle it best because we have a lot of flat space in DFW to build more homes in, while the Bay Area and NYC are limited by amount of land.
@@ErrorNameNotFound123 ok
I will become less desirable over time, but it will never be California. Dallas has too much room to expand, unlike places like the San Francisco Bay area. Growth in most parts of California is limited by the ocean, mountains, and desert. Pretty much all the land surrounding Dallas is usable.
I'm a Dallas site. Born and raised. Not too happy about the growth. Too crowded and the southern hospitality appears to be diminishing. I look to move away.
I've lived and worked in DFW for 15 years. I desperately hope I'm not here in three years, let alone 30. It's expensive, exclusive, and caters almost exclusively to giant corporations. Average schmucks like me don't have much to do here.
Last time it was cheap was 2018ish.
if your mainly living in or around dallas try moving to fort worth
I moved to Dallas in 2000 and have seen the amazing transformation of DFW. The city has tremendous potential. It’s the most diverse place in Texas and a great place for educated professionals to settle and raise a family.
There is a lot of good blue collar careers too
Houston is the most diverse...
Ok Henry, lmao no seriously though dallas, people come to Dallas for business all different cultures. Houston is ghetto, Dallas has ghetto parts as well as nice business areas which is what makes it diverse
@@jordanarsenault5495 ok but when you say diverse i think different ethnicities houston is more of a melting pot than dallas sorry to say buddy
Houston is the most diverse but I would say Dallas is not too far behind with all the influx of people.
It’d be cool to see future plans of new skyscrapers in DFW, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston…
They’re working on one downtown Dallas
you lemmings and your insane obsession with ugly sky abominations.
They are working on 10skyscrapers in Austin.
They’re working on a bullet train from Dallas to Houston
Or to Austin…not sure but there’s definitely a bullet train coming soon
No mention of sidewalks, even in 2050...
yeah there is none in 2050, only flying teslas and femboys
Moved from Memphis to Dallas area in 2009, and I generally love it! However all the growth (and projected continuance of such) combined with rapidly rising real estate cost is why I’m gunna be moving to Pittsburgh soon. I definitely see DFW getting much bigger and I think I’m just coming into a part of my life where I need a smaller city with more access to varied outdoor activities
Yea Dallas adding 4 million more ppl in 5-7 years sounds like a nightmare. The south of Dallas and Fort Worth will need to accommodate.
Pittsburgh??? 😬
Dallas-Ft Worth has incredible park system and hiking/biking trails. Not enough residents have discovered yet, but my dogs and i relish the stunning vistas and landscapes throughout the metro area. undiscovered treasure, even in summer heat (go in mornings)
@@gametime-bw3zksounds pretty stupid
@@gametime-bw3zk🤫 shut ur mouth. we need people to stop coming here, especially the foreigners
I love being from Dallas
Moved to Dallas in 2021, already finding it to be too expensive due to inflation, moving to Wyoming
Who wants to live in a city where 5 police officers were Assassinated on the streets of Dallas during the Obama administration?
Hahaha good luck in Wyoming, there's nothing outside Cheyenne and Cody And that's saying a lot.
Good move!
lol in 2050 wyoming might be a good place to live because of the rare earth metals they just found
why is Texas/DFW suddenly a trend? "mE anD mY hUsBand/wIFe aRe PlaNniNg tO mOve tO tExAs nExT mOnTh"
Because is cheaper than the expensive cities and they get space when buying property.
@@proudbeanerii3810 it was cheaper 5 years ago. and it's only cheaper relative to those moving here from expensive states like california and new york.
@@MarquosXoloVanda Yeah that's what I said but in a extremely stupid way
@@proudbeanerii3810 of course, I broke it down for those reading this
@@MarquosXoloVanda I remember how the prices were in the 2000s and early 2010s . I took all of that for granted just because I was a kid lol
Dallas is easily one of the worst cities in the US. A city is much more than the number of people and the number of major corporations there. I had the misfortune of living there for several years and it is the most isolating city I have been to. 95% of it car-dependent sprawl, multi lane roadways lined with endless strip malls. It’s a corporate wet dream. They build parks for the optics of having a park, yet it’s inaccessible without a car. If Dallas actually wants to thrive as a city it needs to invest in walkability and public transport, increasing density and reducing sprawl. I don’t think they ever will because, again, the city is all about optics. I’m pretty convinced that the DART was designed the way it was for the bragging rights of having the longest metro system in the US rather than actual functionality. The cost of living is not even that low when you consider the cost of housing plus transportation, and the massive property taxes.
You've got to he shitting me. It's bad because you don't have a car?😂😂
People told me cars in Dallas are fine but Dallas needs one speed train
Where did you m9ve to. I hate that I have to drive everywhere too
Dallas has the best public transportation in Texas!!!!
@@jamesgreen7752 That's about as significant as being the tallest kid in kindergarten.
The real downside to the DFW area is Urban Sprawl. The only reason houses are so affordable is because they keep building further and further out instead of investing in better public transit and building more dense multi family dwellings. If DFW could refocus on those items it could better plan for future growth, keep housing prices low, better improve transit, and make the area more "Livable" and "Walkable" for its citizens.
But no all the 85 year olds want their 17 acres of land and 16 chickens and hate the idea of "Undesirables" living near them
I was with you until the last paragraph. My family home I grew up in in Mckinney out in the country will have a highway across our yard and through my neighbors house in 15 years. Where we buried our family dog, where we had haybail rides as kids, having a safe quiet area where we knew all 5 neighbors. It's not about "undesirables" for most people who live out in the country, its about destroying people's homes and property and giving us no choice but to force us out with a tiny little pay out amounting to nothing compared to what the city will make. They will not use the land for accessible housing and public transport, they will just build more loud highways and cheap suburbs. Living out in the country was the only option Texans had for good quality of life- blame our government, not the people.
Also want to mention that land was one of the most economical choices for people (like my parents) before 2010's. You buy the land, follow code and you can build a house (or buy a trailer, tiny home, etc) for as little or as much as you want- and of course your home doesn't look like everyone else's, its all you. My neighbors and everyone's in the zip code all had different houses in varying sizes, with space to build on for family or renters. If that's what you meant by land owners and their dang chickens (haha) not wanting undesirable neighbors. Unless you were making statement about old people being racist.. it happens but luckily not in my case. You could make a bigger case that suburbs and gentrified cities breed that attitude much more easily.. in my opinion. Maybe you had a bad egg, I'm sorry if that happened - but as someone who experienced that life first hand it's not a common scenario. You find what you want in the world. :)
DFW isn’t a city so that will never happen. Dallas proper has rail and there are plans to expand it.
@@214dude2 Expanding rail does absolutely nothing when almost no one uses it. Dart is terrible because demand just isn't there, and even if it were there it would be terribly inefficient due to sprawl. The reason trains work in places like Madrid, Paris, London, Tokyo, and NY is because of DENSE living. I.e. train goes a few blocks and services tens of thousands of people.
Dallas will not improve until single family zoning is drastically decreased and multi family zoning is increased, in addition to removing absurd parking minimums.
In the meantime, adding more bus routes and lowering the barrier for companies to build taller apartments will help
@@johnmurphy6928 But then again, those places are also over 100 to 250+ years ahead of Dallas in development. Dallas didn’t really start growing until after WW2. Dallas will never be like that in you or my lifetime. Dallas will never completely get rid of single family zoning. Our city is already planning to completely rezone the city, because it largely has the same zoning codes from (with additional overlays in areas) 1960. That’s when mandatory minimums were added. I think most commercial areas will be up zoned but not in the middle of single family areas. Only if it’s like a duplex, triplex, or quadplex. Not an actual highrise. ATP most of Dallas’ single family housing stock is from very established neighborhoods. Most ppl want to retain the look of their neighborhood. Ppl are already seeing in other parts of town what gentrification looks like and how all of the old 1910s-1920s craftsman homes and duplexes are being demolished for ugly ass modern urban apartment blocks that tower over the existing housing stock. People are reacting in opposition to the widespread demolition of their neighborhood’s character. The very recent Rezoning in West Oak Cliff is a prime example after people seen what’s going on in Bishop Arts. West Oak Cliff is next to North Oak Cliff where the Bishop Arts District is located.
Born in Dallas , raised in Dallas, love our City , remember El Barrio, little Mexico it's the best ...
The place is a magnet for drug addicts and bums. I couldn't imagine what it would look like in 20 years.
Just ban drugs
@@abimaellopezmaylord27lopez7 Nah just legalize it and create safe drug locations so people can stop doing it in the street . It will make sellers go out of business and less high homeless people in the street
@@proudbeanerii3810 Yes, that worked so well for Oregon the re-criminalized drugs.
Please stay away from Dallas and Texas in general 😂 y’all are doing more harm than good
have no idea what this means but yeah stay away from dallas it's complete dogshit
I moved to Dallas in 2019, I’m a born and raised Texan. but I’m moved 4 hours away from my family because I knew I needed to start early on a good career. I’m proud to be part of the economy of Dallas and it’s a wonderful place to be.
This was a great video and I hope to see more like it. And to the guys saying Texans only and stuff, let go of that man. Anyone is welcome spread love
you have the idea of just letting in anyone who can potentially wreck the state forever in terms of governmental policies.
@@MarquosXoloVanda We have elections you know. Everyone gets a vote, not just the ones moving in.
Elections marquo. It’s democracy if there is someone you don’t like running for a position of power then run against them and fill the position for yourself if you feel so strongly about it.
Dallas is one of my favorite cities to visit. I will possibly retire in one of the suburbs.
I left 10 years ago and every time I visit theres just more and more concrete
Good video. Having been a resident of the DFW Metroplex for several decades, the things I would change are the title of the video, some of the claims made regarding population, and the pronunciation of some of the cites.
While Dallas is and probably always will be the largest city in the Metroplex, I like that you covered the Metroplex as a whole. The title of the video should reflect that. Titling the video something like "The Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex in 2050 -- Leading into the Future" would be a bit more of an accurate portrayal of the video's content.
Also, while your statistics seem accurate, they give the impression that Dallas is or soon will be the 4th largest city in the USA, and that isn't accurate. When looking at the population of just the city of Dallas, it's the 9th largest city in the USA. Two cities in Texas -- Houston and San Antonio -- have a larger population than Dallas. When taking into account the population of just the cities and not the metro areas, Houston is 4th and San Antonio is 7th in the USA. That said, you are correct that the DFW Metroplex as a whole is projected to overtake the Chicago metro area in population sometime in the 2030s, which would make the DFW Metroplex the 3rd largest metro area in the USA. Even though Houston and San Antonio by themselves are bigger than Dallas by itself, the DFW Metroplex is bigger than either the Houston or the San Antonio metro areas.
Finally, Plano in Collin County is pronounced "PLAY-no", and another city in the county is called McKinney, not McKinley.
Those are the only things I'd change, although if you make a sequel or redo the narration, you might want to add that DFW International Airport is one of the few airports in the world that serves over 200 destinations worldwide, and perhaps also that American Airlines' hub at DFW Airport is the 2nd largest airline hub in the world; only Delta Airlines' hub in Atlanta Georgia is larger.
Dallas is the reason why the metropolis is successful which is why he's trying to say
Spot on all points. Also anyone not from the metroplex watching this video should also note that the affordability of the region is decreasing. The metroplex and Austin and the most expensive areas in Texas
@@Zettaaaaaaa To a point, that's true. Dallas is the biggest city in the Metroplex, and it has several national or international HQ within its borders for business (Southwest Airlines and AT&T are just two of them). This can also be said about other cities in the Metroplex, though. American Airlines has its international HQ in Fort Worth, just across a highway from DFW Airport (so not downtown FW, but within the city limits). Toyota has its US HQ in Plano, and Pizza Hut has its international HQ there. 7-11 used to have its international HQ in Dallas but moved to Irving, a nearby suburb. With sports, the DFW Metroplex is one of thirteen metro areas in the US to have teams in all four of the largest major leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL), and there is also an MLS and a WNBA team. Most of the teams do not play and/or are not headquartered in Dallas, but in other large cities like Arlington and Frisco. All of these things show that it's not just Dallas that's driving the growth in the region.
@@Eyeinthesky11 You're right. I heard a report the other day that the DFW Metroplex is now the most expensive area of the state to live in. I was surprised, as Austin and its suburbs have higher housing costs and taxes overall.
@@moose2021 For sure
Bro, you need to update this video specifically on the house pricing.
I grew up in Oak Cliff and it's disgusting how the condos have moved in and completely changed the community dynamics.
I moved to Allen in 2013 from the UK. Think we were one family within a small community then, but it has grown a lot since. I love this area has been an amazing place to bring up our children, and looking forward to 2050 as the video illustrates.
Allen is not Dallas.
@@VahidMusictxthe video is talking about the metroplex so the commenter is rifhr
I moved to Ft Worth 10 years ago. The growth is insane! Everywhere I go there's new construction, and there is so much land to expand. As of now the DFW is larger than the state of Rhode Island. Some people say that the DFW will be like Los Angeles in 20 years. I believe it, that's why I'll probably move out of here when I retire.
Where do you plan on moving to?
@@kjhuang to the outskirts and south of the city, somewhere between Ft Worth and Waco.
@@andresulloabrenes Okay thanks. I ask because so many people criticize living in a big city (Austin is a frequent target but now I guess Fort Worth as well). When I ask where they're going to instead, they name either another big city that has just about as many problems or, as in your case, a rural or low populated area. If you can stand living in a rural area, you're blessed with many low cost options to choose from. Personally I can't do rural/low populated. The least populous place I ever lived in (that wasn't part of a larger metro area) had 46K people, and that was not for me.
Most of this "new construction" is shitty wood midrise built of the cheapest materials. The oldest examples of which are already falling apart due to water damage.
@@wageslave387 ^^ facts
wish people would stop coming to dallas
Dallas Gang ❤ Born here in 99
Im still waiting for 2050s Dallas. Ive watched an ad paid for by Dallas.
Check out the property taxes before moving to Dallas. Just sayin’.
The legislature just increased the homestead exemption and dropped rates. My property taxes went down by about 11% compared to last year.
In order to be the best city it needs to be affordable again. Monthly housing needs to be under 1k again for Dallas to win that title.
The rise in expenses is due to supply and demand.
Under $1,000??? Oleesha, you’ve gone mad 😂
Yep I am a Dallas resident and bought property at the last min in 2016 before the real estate spiked up considerably. I move from a 1500Sq townhouse to a 2 bedroom condo with a shared laundry space! I bought both at the same price just 7 years apart. Now if you are able to afford a house /townhouse with a garage in the inner city of Dallas you are doing well! Lol Also unfortunately you can find evidence of redlining done in the past. Fact: City of Sandbranch that apart of Dallas county has had contaminated water for 2 decades and the county us partly responsible? Not to put the major hub down but this is common across the US. So sad.
6:51 OMG MY SISTER LIVES IN THOSE APARTMENTS AAAA🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Shit man you don’t need to wait until 2050 to see the city of the future. Just go to the suburb of Frisco because by 2030 it’ll already be there.
How do you compare the DFW Metroplex, a collection of stand-alone cities with their own municipal governments, to other individual cities by themselves? The title should read, "DFW INSANE Metroplex of the Future in 2050".
Agreed. I hate when Fort Worth gets considered Dallas. We here in Fort Worth don’t even claim Dallas. Way completely different cities that are 40 miles apart.
40 miles is not that far apart for 2 big cities.
@@jimmy-rm3clstill doesn’t make it the same city. They have different area codes and counties. Fort Worth is 12th largest city and has 989,000 people. But these out of Towners think Fort Worth and Dallas are the same city lol.
Stop moving here
No way Jose this is just a dream 😱😂😂
Dallas is growing but not in a good way. I lived here all my life and I can tell you its not the same. Its gotten worse in many ways and will continue to get worse. Life was more easy to handle and more enjoyable to travel around town with less stress. now just driving on weekends feels like rush hour non stop. I hate it.
All of Texas is growing in a bad way. My hometown just north of San Antonio where I spent most of my youth has gone from a sleepy German town of 5000 (a population that it maintained for nearly a century) to over 20,000 in the past 25 years. And the median house value is now over $500k.
Dallas native. Family has been here forever. I remember there being farm land next to NorthPark Mall. Now everywhere is full, and there aren’t enough affordable homes (not apartments) to put people. It is too crowded and expensive already. Looking to get out.
Been here since 2009 from Malawi, Africa. The Dfw metroplex was so safe and still developing. Now, it is overcrowded, random shooters, road rage killings, an increase in kidnappings, and air pollution. I am thinking of relocating up North.
The new California
@@jaylee1171 exactly
Have you heard about NYC and chicago recently? Dallas is still far safer than most northern cities.
Lived in north Dallas for 10 years it's amazing you can move up the ladder quickly if you work hard also the renovation is crazy I left out of town a month and came back to my neighborhood and it feels like a whole new area. Addison Circle is a cool place to go hell even Oak Cliff is getting nicer 😆 Dallas is very diverse.
In the future Dallas and Fort Worth will merge into a super city. Arlington, Grand Prairie and west oak cliff will be the new downtown
please god no leave fort worth alone, fort worth is better than dallas ever could be
I was shocked because I live in Dallas
TIMESTAMPS!!!
Born and raised in Dallas; makes me sick to see ppl from other states moving to my beloved city!
A major hurdle in the future is increased population results in higher rents, home prices, property taxes. More people, more traffic, more poverty and crime. Quality of life issues suffers,
What brought many to Dallas and other growing sunbelt cities like Atlanta, Phoenix, Vegas, others were low cost of living. Companies from other cities relocate, bring their employees, new residents move hearing about jobs. Create more jobs like construction or jobs in New built schools hospitals, retail, fast food, etc.
Eventually things will slow down as new cities will attract Americans with low housing cost, companies relocate and the cycle continues.
But who knows, Dallas could attract 10 million people become #1 in America. Become a megacity
More like Mega Sprawl.
charlotte is growing also
Forward thinking leaders are going to be IMPERATIVE here
Quick correction: Dallas is 5th in Fortune 500 companies after NYC, Chicago, SF Bay Area and Houston (yes it’s not even first in it’s state)
is that just Dallas proper or the DFW metro?
@@bigpapapar7629 All of these are ranked by metro area. It includes all of DFW
Born, raised, and live in Dallas. Come Visit, but Don't come to live here! You'll like Houston, go there. They love folks from where-ever your from.
Houston, Austin and Dallas will be so powerful.
Fort Worth out growing all those cities by a long shot.
what should i invest in?
"2nd only to New York and Chicago"? How is it 2nd if there are 2 ahead?
By 2050 I’m sure another city or state will already be the best
Atlanta
Los Angeles and SF are the most climate change focused cities so I’d say they have the best chances to still be cities in 2050 and not become wastelands due to air quality and weather.
Or just any major city in Cali
as someone who has lived in the DFW area my entire life its good to know my home area is thriving.
Yeah, but it's pushing out many Texans out of the Metroplex.
Been in DFW sicne 1984. Live in Allen. Love DFW!
3:41 is taken from San Antonio TX.....
Yeah, I was wondering why it showed the Cenotaph in front of the Alamo when talking about Houston. But I think all these images were picked by AI.
just imagine the traffic in the downtown area. it is already heavy? imagine now a futuristic city lol
It’s bad but not horrible 😂😂😂
Yes the traffic isn’t at New York or Los Angeles standards, but it probably will be soon.
please please no
DFW airport pays to Tarrant County not Dallas, so its basically Fort Worth. Fort Worth as a brand is not even connected to Dallas. Dallas as brand is not connected to Fort Worth. Both cities are connected through the metroplex. That's it.
Nah. Not it’s basically Fort Worth. /
Man U swear nigga 30 run threw fort worth so so all city’s pay the highway people for their transportation dumbass out city’s pay for that so no one own nobdy
Not true. DFW was setup as separate from both cities and counties. They are their own tax district.
Wrong sir and it the airport is shared between both counties depending on hich way you enter. Do some research on it and you'll get it.
Lmao that’s not true at all! DFW airport is owned by Dallas and Ft Worth. Dallas also has Love Field. Ft Worth doesn’t have a secondary airport.
I think the biggest thing to note is that youre describing what dallas used to be, not what it is and has been for years now. Its rapidly declining in standard of living, increasing crime problems, and some crazy budget problems due to the sprawl. Can the city fix it and restore the standard of living? Maybe. DART is trying to push transit oriented development, and the inner suburbs no longer have room to expand, and the boomers are dying out so theres definitely been a noticeable interest to make the city more livable and walkable. Ft worth is behind the curve on this, but if things go ok in dallas then they might get on board and begin making improvements, but as it stands the Metroplex has a majority of its infrastructure crumbling, a dangerous and very incomplete public transit network where the bus stops literally have homeless people living in them, rapid inflation in housing prices (other inflation is pretty low tho so it could be worse), horrible sprawl leading to horrible walkability, majority single family housing which is almost entirely responsible for the previous 2 problems and more, an education system thats declining, massive bugetary problems, and a downtown thats attrocious in areas because theres surface level parking. Not underground, not even garages, legit parking lots in a downtown urban area. Thankfully the city is at least trying on some fronts to combat these problems, but the suburbs continue to be problematic and older generations still have most of the power so changing the city to be more walkable and livable is gonna take a pretty long time. Also, fuck TxDOT. They need to help fund dart instead of wanting to widen the already 6 lane each way highways. Redoing intersections is cool but like theyre low key the biggest problem with making public transit viable in texas.
DFW has not, and never will be a transit oriented city. It was built on a cheap prairie land in the age of the car. It's not a compact, geographically hemmed in European like city like NYC, Boston, etc. Economically it makes no sense to build housing up when you can go buy 100 acres north of the Sam Rayburn tollway and build 400 houses. And the infrastructure in DFW is just fine. And the suburbs do not have major crime problems. Heck, even Oak Cliff is gentryfying.
DART is a joke. It's mostly filled with homeless getting out of the heat or cold, and the hub and spoke design make it unusable unless you happen to work downtown, or are going to a Mavs game, concert, or the Fair. It would take twice as long to get from DFW airport to Richardson on the train as it does to take 635, even in rush hour traffic. And you still have to have a car to get to the station in the first place. And have you ever looked into one of the DCTA trains as is trundles by from Denton to Carrolton? I see them almost every day and on a good day there's a half dozen people on a 2 DMU train.
I doubt a civilization that can build cities like that will be around in 2050.
thank you
If by "city of the future", you mean cyberpunk dystopia
EVERY TIME I SEE A VIDEO OF ANY TEXAS CITY, I SEE CITIES WITH NO LIFE, BEAUTIFUL BULDINGS BUT DEAD, I DO NOT SEE THAT IN FLORIDA, CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK OF COURSE
That's right stay home. We dont need you here.
Once there is "extreme" weathers (14F or 105F), Dallas suburbs lose power. Some places even lose power for more than weeks with this extreme weather. Please dont call Dallas futuristic when the power infrastructure in Texas is not optimal neither efficient.
105 isn't that bad
It happened once. When the ENTIRE STATE was below 10F for a week. It was freezing in Brownsville for pete's sake. Something that hadn't happened in, well, forever.
And we handle 100+ degree summers just fine. Haven't had blackouts or brownouts, like, say, California.
Dallas would be sooo much nicer if you didn't have to drive everywhere. I hate all these new suburbs and stroads and highways being built
Visited Dallas. Intensely disliked the miles and miles of ugly, soulless urban sprawl. Just miserable. I’d rather live in Detroit.
Growth for growth’s sake. Blech.
every piece of information in this video is completely dead wrong, how did you get it to be this false?
Dallas doesn't even have a single subway/metro station, and none are planned. There are nothing *but* doubts that it will achieve its quoted goal of becoming the "best city in the US by 2050". Most people in big cities don't like driving an hour from a giant suburban home to park at a bland downtown office.
You do realize Dallas has the largest light rail system in the country, right?
@@goodwavesonly5417 Yep, by route length (not by number of stations). It also has abysmally low ridership and pales in comparison to the scope of the systems and ridership in NYC, Chicago, Washington, SF, Boston, Philadelphia, etc.
Dallas has no need for a subway. It simple is not that crowded above ground.
I have to disagree. The station stops at my job downtown. People get on and off all day.
Dallas does has subway. It’s called Cityplace/Uptown Station. We’re currently planning another subway line through downtown called D2. You don’t know much about Dallas huh?
Dallas is a hell hole. Lol 😂 the housing market is 💩. Rents are rising at 19% under current inflation xD I'm actually moving out of Texas this year. It's becoming the next California for sure with all the bad too.
Amen, If I hadn’t gotten offered to rent to own my house a few years ago and locked it in, I wouldn’t have a place to live
The housing market and rent is shit all over the United States and other parts of the world as a matter of fact. It’s not just Dallas, alone.
@@ElevateYourWorth what makes Dallas specially shit is that we got a surplus of illegal immigration keeping the wages down. Texas being a slave state with no labor laws doesn't help either. Let's not talk about crime either hahaha 😂 Dallas 2050 the next California
@@gabrielgundulf7139 You're not wrong but tbf if 'illegals' are keeping your wages down you should change career paths. Here in the metroplex you can find jobs in many high paying professional fields, heck some of my blue collar friends make more than me. It's not possible anymore but before everything increased even illegals were able to save up and buy a McMansion in Collin & Denton County (I know a couple).
@@gabrielgundulf7139 but i don’t mind illegals because schools are closing and there’s not enough bus drivers
One thing I am certain of is that the city will be over 90% Mexican by 2050.
And? Texas was a part of Mexico what do you expect
@@bluedesks6629 Nothing. My mother is from Mexico City. I'd say it's a good thing.
@@bluedesks6629 and Texas was apart of 5 other nations too. So, what’s your point? When Dallas was founded there wasn’t a large Mexican population in the area.
@@214dude2 It was most recently a part of Mexico and Mexico is right next to Texas so of course there's going to be a huge Mexican population
@@bluedesks6629 Nope, it was most recently apart of the confederacy and before then it was an independent nation. You’re wrong, Texas didn’t not have a significant Mexican population. Native Americans occupied much of North Texas. Dallas didn’t have a large Mexican population until recently due to illegal immigration. In the 80s, the Mexican population was significantly smaller than it is today. Blacks outnumbered Mexicans for decades until recently.
Great video !
By 2050 the "DFW Metroplex" will probably extend to the Red River.
Afordability??? The home prices rose about 2x to 3x from beginning of 2000. Wages for labor about 30%(?)
I live in DFW and it’s pretty unpleasant, I want to live in a walkable city, the traffic is terrible, all of the places to eats are just chain restaurants unlike somewhere like Austin. Cannabis is illegal, lots of bigots, the outdoors is so ugly and it’s so INSANELY hot and humid most of the year and it’s only going to get worse and worse from a weather standpoint
Number 1 grow some balls, number 2 cannabis should stay illegal, number 3 if you hate how humid it is here try living in houston. number 3 what the fuck does bigot even mean? Is that some liberal bullshit? Number 4 austin is a horrible city and it's almost as bad as LA and cali entirely.
Don’t move here it’s horrible 😉
it really is please move here so we can have fort worth
Well done
They need more data if u ask me
Great Content.. As a Native North Texan I can Say with First Hand knowledge that the DFW Area has Gotten Huge Especially Funky town (Ft worth) area..
I have only visited, but there is so much packed in the area. We had fun, but I don't want to visit again for a while.
Fuck more traffic they need flying cars
So many parking lots downtown
"Second only to New York AND Chicago?"
bro when i went there i saw a building in progress
The train system in Texas is not the best that is the only thing that needs to improve
no no? i love feeling like i'm gonna be shot everytime i go on a dart train because at least it's better than dealing with traffic
Woww...very nice 👍👏
That's real cool
Yessir turn the city up we need that
Enjoy it. I'll definitely be deceased by then
I love my city so much buy in all honesty I probably won't get to see it in 2050 but if I do I will come back to this comment
The name is McKinney not McKinley
he had one job🤔
Just keep out the california style real estate investors looking to charge people 2K a month for a tiny apartment or 350K for a tiny house with a 1 car garage. Go back home with that.Sincerly
A Native Texan✌
That’s funny! Have you seen our roads? This is a funny video!
our roads and traffic put LA to shame
@@SilverBond1245 yes they do! They are horrible!
Yeah, I live in Dallas, and its a shithole now with all the Californians that have moved there. Moving out, is too expensive now. Cool stats but I highly doubt this with the current trend of conservatism, most nice folk are moving. Wouldn't be surprised if Dallas becomes Las Angeles in the next 5-10 years.
Where are you planning on moving to?
@@kjhuang Somewhere Rural, less people, less crime, cheaper cost of living, and you can't beat the kindness of country folk. City folk are self-serving narcissists (Obviously not all, but a vast majority)
@@cooperammons3243 Okay thanks. I asked because every time I see someone say "I'm leaving this city!" it turns out they're either going to some other city with pretty much the same problems, or like you said, somewhere rural. I can't do rural; I'd go nuts from boredom.
