      @TA-ht4jo ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It will eventually get overcrowded like most cities get. The word will get out about Dallas and people will rush to move down there. That’s what happened to Atalanta, DC, and Miami and that’s what’s happening right now with Tampa.

    The downtown area reminded me a lot of Houston's downtown area. I was only in Houston for 3 days but had the same feeling of it being a ghost town which actually really appealed to me. I'm currently in Austin and in my opinion it is way too crowded, although it is a beautiful city. I'm planning to move to either Houston or Dallas after I graduate from college next year.

    As a texas native downtown doesn’t really get a lot of attention during the winter or summer again too hot or too cold but if you go on a day like Friday you’ll see more people also all the clubs in deep ellum are crowded and there are a lot of outside bars but Dallas isn’t an outdoorsy city I would suggest checking on like a Friday night in deep ellum or Knox Henderson and Harwood as well

    just moved back here. Im originally from Dallas. To me not a lot has changed. just new buildings and more apartments. Dallas has so many suburban cities that have great places to go. Deep Ellum, lower greenville, and West End use to be the hot spots 15 years ago. Alot of Long time Dallas residents have moved south of Dallas.

  • @214dude2

    Downtown still hasn’t fully recovered from the pandemic like most major cities. Most of the office buildings are still empty due to work from home. That impacts the level of traffic dramatically. The number of ppl living there has increased, but it doesn’t compare to the 135,000+ ppl who use to work there before the pandemic.

      Born and raised in Los Angeles and let me tell you downtown la is a homeless shelter compared to Dallas. Yes, people are walking around Dtla but it’s the second largest city in the country but more dangerous. I would choose Dallas anyday! Matter of fact, I’ll be moving in the fall! Can’t wait!

  • @labaroncharles1958
    @labaroncharles1958 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think it's a southern thing most people in the South don't go downtown especially in Dallas where everything is so spread out. Especially when most of the things you need or want to do are in the communities that you live in in Dallas. The average Drive in Dallas can be anywhere around 30 to 45 even an hour long drive sometimes depending on traffic no one wants to go through that just to get to downtown Dallas

    • @deanchapman1824
      @deanchapman1824 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's why it isn't a real city from the traditionalist standpoint.

    • @labaroncharles1958
      @labaroncharles1958 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @deanchapman1824 my question to you though is who qualifies what is and isn't a real city? Dallas and any other southern city is just as city as any other city. There's a cultural difference at play here. Up in the north and northeast and Chicago do things different. Yall live in old cities that have been here almost since the beginning of this country and is designed like that. Dallas is a newer city and has plenty of space to build where people didn't have gather all in one place to do things. Dallas no doubt is a city. I guess one would have to ask him or herself what preference of city would they like to live in.

    I can’t speak for Dallas but I know downtown Houston isn’t made for the nightlife the only people down there are those that live or work there. Parking is not convenient and they basically have “events” there and that’s it. It is not the downtown of NY or Chicago where there are things happening all the time most of the businesses downtown are closed by 6 pm. There is probably some nightlife in the city it’s just not located downtown.
