It's Zoning! Cities like San Fran, Boston, New York, Miami and Houston , they share one thing in common, they have an Identity of being a Large city. Dallas took a aggressive approach to zoning, which is why it feels like a town.
This zoning give city planners the opportunity to curb behaviors, and effective segregating by economics and race.
The impact on daily life in Dallas can be summed up in one word BORING!
1. Most all restaurants close their kitchen about 9 pm
2. Their is no culture at all, kinda like a Manila envelope.
3. Nightlife is summed up to dinner and a movie, or sitting on the porch of the many bars and drinking to boredom.
4. This is only a working town, Dallas is not a destination for vacationers.
What is sad, is that with a large and going international population, the beauty on those cultures is lost in the distant sleepy suburbs. My point is if you want authentic Peking Duck you have to drive to the obscurity of a boring suburb.
If your don't have to move here DON'T !
