For real entertainment on the whole Dallas-Houston feud (oh boy, you had to get them started!! grin), you should visit the Houston Architecture Forum.

In a nutshell ...

Dallas is experiencing record crime rates. Then again, Houston's southwest has had an increase in crime. I think you'll find that this is the case throughout major US cities, and has to do with demographics (i.e. a boom in teenagers reaching the age when they're most likely to commit crimes).

As far as quality of life and so on... Dallas is a more formal, dress-to-impress kind of city, with both Fort Worth and Houston being more down to earth. I would compare it to the difference between LA and San Francisco. San Francisco is proud of its upscale atmosphere, and the city as a whole swings more to one side of the political spectrum, just like Dallas.
Whereas LA and Houston are much more diverse in lifestyle and live-and-let-live about its weaknesses.
