Alright, I’m picking Dallas, and here’s why Houston can suck it. Dallas has a better vibe—less sprawling, chaotic mess and more of a polished urban feel. Houston’s just a humid, traffic-choked swamp with a side of oil refineries. Dallas has the Arts District, which is legitimately cool if you’re into culture, and Deep Ellum for nightlife that doesn’t feel like a strip mall bar crawl. Houston tries with Montrose, but it’s patchy and drowned out by the city’s industrial sprawl.
Weather? Houston’s a sweaty armpit—humidity that makes you question life choices. Dallas gets hot, sure, but it’s less likely to feel like you’re drowning in your own skin. Traffic’s a nightmare in both, but Houston’s flat, endless grid feels soul-crushing, while Dallas at least has some hills and better highway flow.
Cost of living? Dallas edges out slightly—housing’s steep in both, but Houston’s flood risk jacks up insurance and stress. Plus, Dallas has better job scenes in tech and finance; Houston’s still leaning hard on energy, which feels like betting on a dying horse.
Dallas wins. Houston’s fine if you love petrochemical plants and mosquitoes, but I’d rather not.
