5/10, There are better places in TX

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

never been there...but I been to boring ass San Antonio , and I’m sure it’s way better than that right?

The city is a 6/10 for me. I got a lot of family there and they all cool as hell and they’ve always made me feel welcomed but other then that the city is way too conservative and the whole Guyger and Botham Jean case made the city looked extra . If it wasn’t for my family living down there I would of given it a 4/10.

I haven’t been to San Antonio but maybe some of our Texas brehs and brehnettes can give an insight into that.

10. Every Texas city is a 10.



Too much Eastcoast bias on this site.



Texas also has the GOAT black women. There's a shawty from Dallas that....


Houston should've been rated higher also....

Imma give it a mid 7.

Nice skyline, more visually attractive than Houston as well as greener. Its culture is definitely an interesting blend between Deep Southern, Midwestern, and Great Plains/Western. One of the largest urban Black populations in the country and significant Black history. Black representation doesn’t seem real bad, especially since they got a Black mayor.

Dallas Black folks got a unique dance culture and despite not being as much of a heavyweight in Southern Hip Hop culture as H-Town, ATL, Memphis, NOLA, etc., they have made unsung contributions to rap music that a lot of people aren't even aware of.

Nightlife seems like it might be pretty dope, definitely get a bar, lounge, swap meet, and strip club vibe from Dallas.

Heard good things about its food scene, be it BBQ, Mexican, Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Soul Food, Steaks/Burgers, Tex-Mex, Chinese, etc.

Relatively affordable city housing- and COL-wise.

Got some beautiful cribs too at reasonable prices.

Looks like it got top quality shopping, comes off as a pretty clean city, and a decent public transit system for a sprawling metropolis. Nice looking suburbs too for the most part.

Would prolly be a decent city to live in.

Strikes against it are the city’s significant racist past, it being real close or within the tail-end of tornado alley, and the Dallas Cowgirls and their fans

Rated zero - 0 . No debate and for obvious reasons. Rated 1 since there is no 0

8.

Been living in a suburb of Dallas for over a year now.

Everything is cool about Dallas besides the highways and traffic. Great COL, plenty of well to do black people, plenty of jobs in IT, good food, big affordable houses, good looking men/ women and all my fam is in FT Worth/Arlington

Sidenote: The men here can't dress.

Been here 4 or 5 times in the past year. It’s a great city. Great women, good food, and I enjoy the nightlife. I can’t remember the name of the place, but they gotta bbq pit house where they que’ing the food right in front of you, and you pick out which meat you want. It was pretty good. Had buttermilk pie for the first time. It’s right outside the city.

My only issue with the city, and the same goes for Houston, is how spread out it is. Merging onto the interstate is also a little different as well.

I give it an 8

Did your family migrate from Texas to CA during the great migration? I know you're from LBC, but is your family originally from Texas?

You forgot Boston OP..
it was that bad?

I'm going to give it a 9.
I live in Houston, but what sets Dallas apart is diversity of industry, light rail, has a sister city in Fort Worth that can hold it's own and pilot project location for technology coming that could change how we live.

1) They will be the first city, along with Los Angeles, to have air drones/flying car/aerial vehicles/air taxis...whatever you want to call it. It's going to start here.

2) They are also doing a study on I-35 corridor hyperloop train potential.
