[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is claiming Dallas suburbs are actively racist? Need to cite something from a reputable source. Dallas has booming communities of all ethnicities and nationalities. Growing South Asian population, large Asian population, Latinos go without saying.

HP/UP are definitely much whiter than most of the other proper Dallas suburbs....

But who really cares? The people who obsess the most about diversity, from what I can tell, are the white Karens in ultra white areas like Bethesda...

Regarding cost, Dallas is a cheaper metro area than DC, BUT and this is a big BUT, HP/UP are possibly even more expensive than comparable areas in the DMV, but, and this is also a but, you also get nicer housing for your money. The teardowns in Dallas, unlike in the DMV, are actually replaced by something very nice. They know how to build houses in Dallas.

Agree with this. Especially about the real estate in HP/UP. You can spend as much as you want there for a house, but it will be nicer than a similarly priced house in DC. There isn’t really a comparable neighborhood in DC in terms of location close to downtown, excellent schools, absence of crime (has its own police force) & quality housing stock. However, it does crack me up when people here are under the impression that the Park Cities *is* Dallas real estate. There are lots of very wealthy people in Dallas who live in very nice houses that are not in HP.

When I eat at Dallas restaurants, I’m always struck by the diversity and youth of the crowd — a true mix of races and ages. I rode the DART train to a hockey game the last time I was there, and the same was true of that crowd. It just has an energy that DC does not. [/quote]
