Review of Dallas, Texas


Not Perfect, could be worse
Star Rating - 6/4/2018
Listen, I'm a "hometown boy" so ill always defend Dallas and the other major 3 Texas cities

Dallas is NOT a "top tier" city, it is a SECOND tier city

Here are some BETTER cities:
New York, Los Angelos, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, Boston, Washington DC/NOVA, Atlanta

But it is a VERY good "alternative"

If you wanna live in a "better" (subjective) city, go to one of those... but ALSO realize you have to deal with MUCH HIGHER Cost of Living and/or worse weather (Minneapolis lol)

Dallas has it's faults but it could be MUCH MUCH worse. It has all the big city amenities, diversity in entertainment and populace that you could want in a city. Obviously, outside of Uptown/West End/Deep Ellum, it isn't a very "walkable" city... but damn it could be MUCH WORSE lol

It's a very COMPETITVE city too for being second tier. That said... Houston and Austin are great nearby options.

A very comparable ALTERNATIVE to Dallas is Charlotte, which is less pretentious than Dallas and more "Southern", but it's also smaller

4 stars!

The pros about dallas is there some good restaurant's jobs and great transit system now here is the cons the cons are the people there very rude and 90 percent of the time when you talk to someone there trying to see if they can take advantage of you it is a very cutthroat city majority of people in dallas have no morals most people you encounter are drug addicts or crooks never dose off on the train because they will get in your pockets and take everything you have the police force is a joke there never on the train when you need them they always show up when you dont need them and the only thing cheap in the city is the people you run into they play broke so you can spend your money don't go to dallas unless you want to deal with bums theives and wanna be conartist
