Your video was amateurish Dallas boostering at best and you didn’t even answer the question posed in the video title.

Yeah what the hell was that about

I didn't even notice that until seeing your comment, thank you for pointing it out, it helps me a lot with being more careful in the future.

It's really not a big deal. I just thought it was funny how quick I could detect it when it happened. ☺️

yeah... lost a lot of credibility with that statement...

I see healthy future growth of DFW dependent on how it operates as an urban region, not just Dallas. Indeed, Dallas city isn't growing as fast as neighbor Fort Worth and many of the other suburbs of both places. If trends continue, Fort Worth will break the 1 million population mark (to Dallas's 1.3 million) sometime around mid-decade. The whole urban region is close to 8 million. I believe some of the closer in larger suburbs will begin to get denser as well as Dallas proper and Fort Worth proper (it's happening in Arlington). This raises an interesting opportunity for the whole urban region to look at operating services across the whole metro and not just each city, including the bigger suburbs, acting as they are stand-alone locations. Why not have a metro wide police force or transit system or social services entity taking advantage of economies of scale? Of course, that requires visionary leadership that can look past turf-ism.

People say "why Americans are obsessed over cars," but they do not say, "Why are people trying to make Americans obsessed over cars?" Cars are very fine to use if you rather want to be crowded on a long cube with several people than go to Illinois or NYC, and hopefully, your crab doesn't get looted or something much worse.

@@user-nk9ew8fk5f lol good for you

💧 WATER

It's not going to happen unless there's a huge cultural shift. You have the NIMBY issue for one. The car culture will not change quickly unless you force it, that will have a backlash. Mass transit will not work like the other cities.

Lmao. Hush.

@@VahidMusictx Well, I don't think those specific things are "why there are millions of people living in DFW," but it is true that all three of those things were invented in (or near) Dallas, and the long presence of a technological base in the Dallas area is relevant to its current economic expansion (although it's only one of several factors).

Dumbest take I have ever heard. My opinion is because it is close to USA's remaining oil, there is lots of flat land to build out for the metro to metastasize, and it opts for property taxes instead of income, so it forces people on the edges to sell to keep the ponzi going.

Dallas is the premier city in Texas.

@@Damianoutlaw Dallas is bland, hot, and lacking in history and culture... Houston trumps it on the latter two.

@@kylewarren1811 Umm…Dallas is the premier city in the state of Texas.

I disagree with you. What people don't understand is Plano or Frisco or even Fort worth for that matter does not gain these population gains and boost if not for Dallas. It's Dallas that is the prime financial center in dfw. Number 1 economy in Texas and Number 4 behind New York Los Angeles and Chicago. The area is booming because of what Dallas has built financially. The other cities around it get to florish because of this. Dallas is nice but has even nicer suburbs probably best in the country which is why people move there instead of Dallas. But Dallas produced the jobs that brought them to the Dallas area and gave them the opportunity to move to those suburbs in the first place. You take Dallas out of the metroplex and these millions of people are not moving to the metro plex. Dallas is the heart and soul and power to the metro. It's the battery. Fort worth economy is very weak. It owes whatever it is today to Dallas.

I also noticed the “DWF” 😊. As for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, it is considered a “conurbation” with a number of metropolises, cities, and large towns have merged into one big area with a huge economy and many different cultures. Fort Worth, Arlington, Frisco, Denton, etc. all have their own unique characteristics. There’s something for everyone, and with all the opportunity at a relatively lower cost of living than other parts of the country, it makes sense why so many Americans are moving there.

@すし You are right. Dallas is number 6. Dallas is the most Important and significant economy in Texas right now. You can used any metric you like it still does not push Austin past Dallas. Everyone knows Dallas and Houston is Texas's bread and butter. Fortune 500 hundred companies are steadily relocating to Dallas plus the population increase. If this trajectory continues Dallas might only be looking up in economy and size to LA and New York.

​@@labaroncharles1958all the suburbs look the same, cookie cutter. The suburbs in the New York, NJ, CT area have unique suburbs. North Shore of LI, Hudson Valley, North and Central Jersey, Jersey Shore, Gold Coast of Connecticut. Boston has historic and coastal suburbs. Philly has the Main Line, and Delaware County. All on natural bodies of water. Twin Cities have beautiful suburbs on natural lakes. The metroplex may be cheap, but wait until land is needed to BUILD more "lakes".

@deanchapman1824 well I disagree with you as a person born and raised in Dallas. Even most people that move to Dallas know that every city in the Metroplex will give you a different vibe. And I would also say is funny to me how people in places like New York and Chicago and Philly or some of the other places that you name like to try to talk about the things that Dallas Lack but are the main people that are moving to Dallas from these areas. If these places are so great then stay there is what I would say to these people and stop moving to Dallas. And let us stay our slow, cookie cutter, country, boring selves. In my opinion I think that whatever those suburbs you named might offer the overall Vibe of the east coast to me is very boring and depressing and there's not many sunny days there. It's normally always cloudy. People are very rude in the Northeast as when you get down south people are more hospitable and helpful and kind. To each his own but for me it's Dallas everyday all day over any other place in this country.

You think so

@@marcuscole1994 yeah because it would make more sense for all these microchip plants to be built in Houston because the port is right here making it easier to get everything you need to make the chips and ship them out to other markets. However Austin got the Tesla and Samsung plant and Dallas got the Texas Instruments plant. Hate to say it but Houston is stuck in the past. We keep focusing on oil and gas while the world is going electric.

@@nategz9875 Houston needs to diversify

⁠@@nategz9875You heard of hydrogen? Google it…

Don’t worry! No one is moving to Houston.

@@sayitloudblcknproud Houston's metro went from 4.5 to 7.5 million in 20 years but okay...

Austin is nothing like California, still very Texan. Honestly, Dallas is more like California than Austin. DFW reminds me of living in Sacramento.

@@nategz9875 No lol Austin is a college town 6 street music capital, etc Dallas is nothing like California. Linguistical Dallas natives speak country, Cali people don't. Dallas prides itself on its southern culture and history. Cali people pride themselves on their west coast culture, sunshine, beach and music and entertainment culture.

@@johnbhughes3419 have you been to California?

@@nategz9875 Yes I lived in southern California and the bay area. Totally different from Dallas. First hand experience, I was raised in Dallas my job brought me to Cali I lived there for a few years. Again totally different.

​@@johnbhughes3419what history 😐

Not just Californians, but also people from Chicago, New York and other blue cities. These cities are not sending their brightest. I'm leaving Texas. This place is turning into a Rhino/Liberal and section 8/rental paradise

@@Walkingadversity Idaho and Montana is where you should look at moving to. conservative voters are being ran out of every major city in Texas. Collins county will go blue in 2024.

My dad went to the Magic Time Machine, when it really was a school.

Frisco is ass. Never understood why people liked it.

Yeah I will keep that in mind with future videos AllyKat

@@SomethingDifferentFilms thank u 😊

Move to Austin

Dallas also good but Houston gets pretty hot and monster traffic

I see the DFW metro as being the best option for many people, it's more affordable with more amenities. However the traffic in Houston and Dallas is the worst in Texas, so that's something to keep in mind.

@@SomethingDifferentFilms I agree I’m relocating to DFW area 2024 I can’t wait DFW for the win🎯💯💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜💜

Move to Dallas

Where are you moving to?

Compared to where. Also, hot as hell 6-7 months out the year? That’s complete BS! Metro Dallas is literally only really hot 3 months out the year at worst and the rest of the year is great. I guess 80 degrees is hot to you lol! Even winters are mostly mild with the occasional cold front. This guy sounds like a troll to me! DFW not having a lot of natural beauty is probably its biggest draw back, but every city has a few. I would argue that Dallas only one. Traffic? Name a metro with 7.5 million people with better traffic! I’ll wait!

I was in Dallas for 2 years and now Plano for 2 years. It's all just one big suburb. I'm one of the few willing to move away because of traffic. I spent 155 hours in traffic last year per dash cam. That's ridiculous. Its becoming LA and it won't be recognizable in another decade. Especially as the eastern migration continues. We don't have the infrastructure to support another million drivers in the metroplex. 75, 635, 20, 30, Dallas tollway are all a train wreck waiting to happen. I've secured a permanent remote job and I'm looking for a smaller city when my lease is up in September.

@@Aggie4life77 What? 3 months? LMAO what planet are you on? The problem with Dallas is it's not the focal point of the metro. You guys brag too much about being a PART of DFW and not the main hub of the region. Another issue I noticed was the area is a giant conglomerate of suburbs that all work together for the metro. While that's technically a good thing, it also put's places like Arlington, Irving and Plano on the same level as Dallas in terms of how money is spent in the region. This means that not every cultural landmark in the region is in Dallas but it shares those landmarks with other places. This can make Dallas feel a bit dead and lacking in some things.

“Hot as hell for 6-7 months” did it not occur to you that you live in a city in the south where it’s usually always hot most of the time?☠️

It will be it’s Texas for crying out loud

Based on what exactly? El Paso has way to many illegal immigrants to be a good city!

@@Modine. Well those illegal immigrants might have skill

@@bozobryant7856 Think again because they don't. Why do you think there also called unskilled workers?

​@@Modine.They are much harder workers

@@bozobryant7856 Only If you consider mowing a yard a skill.

They need more tech companies although there are some they need to have like some palm trees and like amusement park like a six flags or a marvel DC theme park wasnt Office space shot in Texas and chuck norris walker Texas Ranger and the 80’s show Dallas all shot up in Dallas. That also what makes Dallas so known for and best sports teams cattle ranch and oil tacos buriitios corn and steak 🥩

Dallas needs to be little more like Austin

Dallas is in fact a popular place to live. The hate in your comment is funny lol.

Dallas is great. It's a quiet metro. That's what makes it unique

Office park? No culture? Are you even taking about city of Dallas? I’m not talking about the suburbs.

Oklahoma City doesn’t count.

Including d texas triangle sa Austin Houston all one mega city corscuant style

Your complaining about it being hot in a city that’s in a SOUTHERN STATE. ofc it’s gonna be hot there but that doesn’t mean you can’t play sports, you just don’t have the stomach to do so🤷‍♂️🤣

@@Ericgomez214 you’re a southerner. Your stomach is too big for sports 😂

DFW metroplex will overtake Chicagoland before Houston passing up Chicago city population. Most of Texas booming population are now in these metros suburbs. City limit population are actually declining. I do agree that Houston is slightly more international bc of the port, TMC and energy industry.

​@baopham8676 only one problem with that.....W A T E R. In order for this to effectively happen, they will need to BUILD more "lakes" (reservoirs). That will take lots of LAND. Sure there's lots of land there, but now you're talking about gobbling up who towns and private property. In any event, no matter how big Dallas area grows, it will never be the city Chicago is in terms of architecture and character. Chicago may have its problems, but it has WATER.

@@deanchapman1824 DFW has 8.1 million and Chicagoland is at 9.3 million. At 18% growth every decade, DFW will add 150k per year and should overtake Chicago as the 3rd largest metro within 10 years. People are moving there because of job opportunities and corporate relocation. Lack of architecture, history, urban layout and not having a big body of fresh water is not slowing anything down.

@@baopham8676 I agree with what you said except that city limits are declining. In Houston it’s sky rocketing, they’re building skyscrapers left and right even outside of the downtown / uptown areas

Texas is currently passing laws to make gambling legal in Texas. Dallas will soon have multiple Casino resorts in the heart of the city with the city of Vegas leading the construction. Keep up.

@@bervicksimien2848how long?

That bridge is not that high over the water, but it does need to be able to withstand the pressure of drastic increase of water flow in the spring months. The design is partly about engineering, partly about aesthetics.

well with all these damn people moving here, it was not how it looked like 4 or 5 years ago.

LA is no longer important or relevant. That’s why everyone is leaving and coming here to Texas.

😂

Your correct good sir, it's Dallas Fort-Worth. I have regrettably made this kind of minor grammar/spelling error in a few videos. I have always done all this work on my own, spending about 40 hours on each video. But going forward I will have someone I trust double-check all content before it's uploaded,to ensure these minor errors don't happen.

Stop.

@29Texan No, he should keep moving forward and speak facts!

@@AngelicoCiudad opinions aren't facts, kid. Neither city is "red", so it's irrelevant from the start.

@29Texan I know. How sad isn't it. No wonder why it's so violent and trashed. Being red is the only thing to save it.

Fort Worth definitely is. But Dallas is a fruit pop liberal city. Lol.

Bro....no one outside of Tarrant County cares about FT Worth.

Agreed. Fort Worth A major city in DFW and across the nation

I agree that the vid is saying "Dallas" but actually talking about a series of economic and demographic phenomena that pertain to the DFW region as a whole, not just Dallas. Although there's an argument to be made regarding the future overall impact of DFW in comparison to the other Texas urban regions, it isn't ironclad, and it will not be based simply upon Dallas itself.

Dallas is a hub for boring people. Houston is the real capital of Texas.

The suburbs would not exist without Dallas or irs airports

No I make videos about cities and states all over the country, but I have been pretty much everywhere I talk about, and I have a public email for locals to reach out.

@@SomethingDifferentFilmsyou called it the DWF. Is DFW. And you made it seem like Fort Worth is a section in Dallas. Fort Worth is the 12th largest city in America with one million people. We are a major city. Not a section of Dallas.

​@VahidMusictx it looks like we have our stereotypical insecure FT Worth resident.

Houston is far too dependant on oil. You see huge shifts in employment, housing prices, and population trends from the oil booms to the oil busts.

They're both super bland. The Houston train station is a complete JOKE!!!!😂

@@SomethingDifferentFilmsHouston does have a big oil connection, but it also has a major international US port, the world's largest medical center, NASA's Johnson Space Center, Ellington Air Force base, major universities like Rice, and is home to other big corporations unrelated to oil, such as Hewitt Packard. I would also be interested to know if such oil-related economic shifts don't generally apply to Dallas as well, if perhaps to a slightly lesser degree.

@@heliomoonwave Texas depends on it's oil industry in general so from what I have seen all of it's cities have a real connection to the industries swaying cycles. Also Houston is America's fourth biggest city, so it has better amenities and I would argue entertainment opportunities in general. I just see the Dallas area setup best as the states heartland going into the next decade or so. You could make a strong argument for Houston (or even Austin) as well though.

Houston smells bad

But no ocean/beaches 😐

Dallas has two airports that are both bigger than Bergstrom. Austin international is miniscule compared to DFW and IAH

@@Damianoutlaw So, IAH is Houston, not Dallas. The Austin airport is bigger than and handles more passenger traffic than Dallas Love. Dallas also is the headquarters for American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, so that is why there is a high concentration of flights that go to/through Dallas. That doesn’t mean Dallas is more dominant. It just means Dallas is the hub for 2 airlines while Austin isn’t a hub for anyone. That doesn’t make Dallas the future.

@@Michael-kf7gm Austin has a small airport compared to DFW in Dallas and IAH in Houston. The biggest, most important cities always have the most air traffic and Austin doesn't come close to Houston or Dallas......two cities with multiple airports. Dallas.and Houstons secondary airports Love and Hobby are each comparable to the main Airport in Austin which is Bergstrom Airport.

@@Damianoutlaw That’s false. In 2022, Austin had 10.382 million passengers go through its airport. Love had 7.819 million and Hobby had 6.462 million. Austin Bergstrom is considered a major airport. Love and Hobby are not. ATL had 45.396 million whereas LAX had 32.326 million. Nobody would argue that Atlanta is a bigger more important city than Los Angeles. Atlanta just gets more traffic because Delta is headquartered there. Los Angeles is still the 2nd largest city in the U.S. Atlanta is 37th.

@@Michael-kf7gm Austin is small time compared to Dallas.

Don't nobody give a f*ck If we want to move there we will!!!

Lol at gatekeeping a city

I moved to Dallas a year go and I'm bringing my entire family. 4 of my friends all decided to move here and bring their entire families all from LA and Seattle. I forgot to mention we will vote Blue.
