Houston is better, hands down.
Better women of color, better freeways, better food.
The weather down here isn't as extreme as Dallas.
Dallas gets ice storms, droughts, snow, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes (minor) all at once.
Dallas does cater more to tourists and out-of-towners than Houston though.
Dallas is just a wanna-be Houston with a better football history and organization.
The floods were in Houston... Dallas has greater diversity because you
can traverse the landscape from the Western Counties of Forth Worth
to the Eastern Counties of Dallas... The conurbation now starts farther
South than Waco and goes all the way to the Oklahoma border, easily
encompassing more than 10 million people. The emerging characteristics
and character speak to unique identity that is at once a sum of parts
at the same time the individual part forge ahead with establishing
their own characteristics..
In Las Colinas for example, the very evident intent is to develop
a city that is part America, but for the most Italian, fully with
canals and Italian architecture... The wooded neighbourhood of
Coppell seduces one with calm charm, and magnificent manicured
neighborhoods.. etc
Because of this there is a greater amount and variety of everything;
Dallas has 6 Flags, Houston does not, Dallas a the NASCAR Texas
Motor Speedway, Houston does not, Dallas has an Ice Hokey team, Houston
does not.. Both have American football, real football, basketball and
baseball teams....
The emerging development in Dallas speaks to the grand plan and desires
of Dallas. The leaders of Dallas do not have a Houston inspiration in
the development of the Trinity Corridor; Las Colinas, South Lake,
Grape Vine etc, and the many impressive suburbs of Dallas are similarly
created according the needs and identity of Dallas.
Dallas has an extensive, and still expanding metrorail, that delivers
you to both airports, and to every city in Dallas and some adjacent
counties, where as Houston does not....
