Same. Very impersonal place. All kinds of different buildings and strip malls thrown up near each other. A bank next to a Taco Bell next to a nice hotel with a business park behind it. Neighborhood’s next to busy commercial areas and nowhere for miles to escape it all. Doesn’t make sense to me. But I’m from a small-medium sized city so that’s probably why. But the strip clubs are good. One stripper believed I was Kenny Powers. Next thing I know she’s letting me know she’s also an escort.

Dallas is one of the seediest feeling cities I've ever been to... And Its not close.

Same here. Houston feels more gritty but more real. Having grown up in BR, it definitely feels more like home.

There’s a perfectly rational explanation. Suburban Dallas is the most soulless, least interesting place in North America. It’s the type of region where people go out to Buffalo Wild Wings and Dave and busters for their recreational activities. I remember watching the Dr Death podcast, and the Duntsch guy it was about had a ton of money and would go blow it at the bar at the ‘upscale’ Holiday Inn in Plano. That’s basically suburban DFW in a nutshell.

Greater Houston has a lot of similarities to DFW but one difference I’ve noticed is that Houston proper is massively larger than Dallas or FW Proper.
Houston is a more urbanized area while Dallas is more of a suburbanized area. There’s way more Dallas suburbs than there are Houston suburbs. The city of Houston just kept taking over areas that would have otherwise been their own city. Dallas doesn’t do that.
Houston is also much more of an international city. Especially within 610. Way more international influence in Houston than there is in Dallas. At least in my experience
