Orlando metro is over 2 million. And dont forget it's less than 80 miles to Tampa, with a metro of over 3 million.

But Orlando and Tampa is an hour & half away, Dallas to Fort Worth is only 30 miles. The Orlando & Tampa area would better fit to go against if we were talking about the Austin & San Antonio region.

Orlando is 45-54 Minutes away from Tampa (city Proper). an Hour and a half you'd be at the ocean.

Rep for you. Another reason why I wouldn't dare "LIVE" in Dallas. It's regional surroundings are so bland and boring.

Yes that maybe true but DFW is more urban and populated than those two. Also yes you can be on opposite sides in a few hours in Florida. I know cause I lived in Fort Myers a few years ago.

I know its more populated. It just doesnt take an hour and a half to get to Tampa. heck Orlando is 77 Miles from the Gulf and 45 Miles from the Atlantic (Downtown orlando) that is. if you live in Eastern or Northern or southeastern Orlando you'd be to the atlantic much quicker, making the beach closer. Western orlando and suburbs, gulf quicker, it's really cool.
