I am currently in Texas and cannot get over how clean and organized this area is. I am in Frisco and it’s just lovely. I live in California and have for the past 30 years crime is everywhere homeless everywhere needles and trash everywhere mentally ill and drug zombies everywhere. I haven’t seen anything like that here in Texas at least not in Frisco.
If I was young, hungry and getting started in life, I would head to Dallas. Dont fight headwinds (CA) seek the Tailwinds (TX) - get rich then buy a house in Santa Barbara and spend the summers there.
“If planning, zoning and perhaps public dollars become antes in a billion-plus-dollar hand of poker, Dumont and Sands could be holding the ace of spades (Valley View) and the ultimate wild card (Irving).

There’s a white flight situation happening in Prosper/Frisco/Celina of generational proportions.
I don’t know anyone who isn’t trying to get out. The appeal and culture has been completely gutted.

I lived in Uptown in the 2010s and loved it. Really what would take Dallas to the next level is if they just embraced their own identity more. What I mean by that is right now, Lower Greenville hates on Highland Park, which hates on Deep Ellum, which hates on Plano
Can't we all just get along?
You don't really see that in, for example, NYC. You don't see Astoria beefing with Meatpacking District. People have different preferences, sure, but that's what a city is for.
Dallas has tons of hot girls, great businesses (more arriving all the time), airport with global reach; it's not going to be another NYC or London, but it could be another Chicago, without all the crime. I think the missing gap is the identity. Austin knows what it is. If Dallas figures out what it is, it could take off.
100 corporate HQs landed in DFW from 2018 to 2024. More than any metro in America.
Goldman is building its biggest US office outside Manhattan in Dallas. JPMorgan has 31,000 employees in Texas. Schwab moved here from SF.
Apollo wants a second HQ. Texas is on the shortlist.

My first piece for @TexasTribune: Texas Republicans have a data center problem
They’re caught between a zealous president and governor bent on Texas becoming the next global data center hub, and outraged constituents in red and rural districts, where most ctrs are being proposed
