You might be delusional if you think that the residents of Dallas can support all the luxury shopping within it's city limits. I don’t live in either city and I don't have any skin in the game.

fact is y'all were making it seem like the metro is connected for everything else but what Dallas stands out alone for is the shopping. BS. The metro works together for everything INCLUDING the shopping. Just like Arlington could not host the Boys and the Rangers without the Mplex, Dallas could not host the Double Decker Walmart and the other fancy establishments without the rest of the Mplex. That is just how it goes in metros. Things are done by market, and the market is drawn from a wide area. Usually even bigger than the metro boundaries itself.

You do realize that those stores draw shoppers from hundreds (even thousands) of miles, right?

You said this to say what???....Who didnt know that things are done by market???..All that was being pointed out was that all of the High-end stores are in the Dallas city limits or on the Dallas side of the metroplex....the poster who whined that the dallas couldnt support the stores by itself is the one yall need to be attacking....thats the silly post.

Yep. It isn't just metro folks. It's markets. Meaning, Dallas pulls from people in Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, and even as far South as Austin or Central Texas at the least. It even pulls from West Texas and parts of New Mexico.

That question was not, what city has the fastest growing energy sector. The question was what city has the best/most luxury shopping. The answer is Dallas, but the shopping in both cities is top notch.
Basically anything I can find in Dallas I can also find in Houston & if I can't that means I don't really need it anyways...

As I said earlier in the thread, Dallas has better big department store shopping (Neimans, Nordstroms, Barneys, Macy's, Dillards, & JC Penny) while Houston has its funky little boutiques scattered all up & down Westheimer & Montrose.

D/FW (not Dallas) offers more shopping per capita than any other US city thanks to its encompassing mega burbs on steroids.
