I don’t get all the hate for Downtown Dallas. Our HQ is right in the heart of the city. Literally on some of the first streets built in Dallas itself. There is so much history in this area. We have had many presidents and British royalty visit this street and stay at The Adolphus. Additionally, there is a lot of night life and activities to do that you just don’t get elsewhere. I understand there are some cons like homelessness and paid parking, but yall have a negative filter and just forget about the positives and hold onto the negatives.

Dallas is not a great place to live. Did it for a year. Not a lot of unique restaurants, lots of Debbie does Dallas looking ladies in the building....pass
@ee When is the last time you missed Fox & Friends?
Everyone is moving FROM NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Fran. Have you seen those dives?
Reproductive Freedom
are you comparing it to Amarillo?
While Randy was dropping over $200M to rebuild that plaza to Make Dallas Great Again I was telling people they no longer have a job because we have to cut costs.
How about a 3 hour daily commute? Those of us who established roots in the "burbs with children in school are sc--wed. We aren't seeing our kids before school & rarely make it home for afterschool sports & no longer have a family dinner on weeknights.
Or how about $20 a day in tolls on top of paid parking?
Or perhaps flooded roadways, unsalted roads in winter?
Always judge a city by its women. Dallas women are thick boned, walk bowlegged and all have a granny cackle voice like Arnoldi, or they are from another country, no in between
You are not in Dallas for Honeymoon. You are being forced to resign or spend your hard earned money to move and later will be trashed.
Original OP here.
Wow yall really don’t like Downtown Dallas. I guess it’s a touchy topic. I will avoid from now on lol.
Agreed
Nobody has ever said “I want to move to Dallas” but plenty have said NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles. Dallas is where people and their dreams go to die.
@am When it’s a million degrees for the umpteenth day in a row in the summer, which Dallas area beach are you going to to cool off? And how many of the endless suburbs in Dallas have direct rail access to the city like is available in the New York and Chicago metros? Yes you can get bigger, newer McMansions in Dallas at a lower price and the winters are better but other than that it has nothing on NY or Chicago. Dallas is a decent big American city that’s mostly sprawl. It’s not awful by any means but unless you’re a big Cowboy fan, no one grows up saying “I want to move to Dallas (or Plano).”
Dallas is what it is, a decent downtown but not great. It doesn’t matter anyway above 99% of the people working in Dallas do not live there. Like every other city, after work they all go back to suburbia.
Very few cities have the core city vibe like Chicago or New York. Most cities are just like Dallas.
As a metro area, Dallas is much better than a Chicago or New York.
I have lived and worked in London, Chicago, Boston and others (not giving my ATT location but it isn’t Dallas even though I have visited). While downtown Dallas may not be suburban office park wasteland it does not compare at all to places like the ones I mentioned and other I have been to even with the issues they have.
Mhm. I’m sure you’re trying to convince yourself but none of us have been fooled. Chicago here and it definitely has its issues but at least its a not trying to masquerade as a city… takes more than a few high rise buildings which is about the only box it checks.
I used to live in NYC and now I live in Dallas. Dallas is NOT a city, dude. Also, hard to believe but the homeless and crime problem might actually be worse in Dallas.
Dallas is a pathetic excuse for a city. Nightlife LOL, you must be joking. I’m surprised they even call it a city. It’s a cesspool.
Dallas S U C K S!!! No one is ever moving there. Even the execs want to move HQ out. Sorry to anyone who moved there for this company.
You mean like the presidential visit on November 22, 1963?
