The brains of what?

Most brain surgeons in Dallas went to medical school & did their residency in Houston.

With that being said this metric tends to favor greater Houston in good economic times and DFW in leaner times (as economically Houston tends to have higher peaks and lower valleys than does DFW).
Maybe , but times are good, much more often than they are bad At least lets hope so....

Platitudes are easy to say, and easy to counter ,DFW and Austin minds are the future for DFW and Austin and nothing more. Neither cares about Texas in general and are totally self absorbed in their own image.

Now, do you have something more substantial to add ?

More straight up false claims from Metro Matt with no proof whatsoever to back them up. Another day on city-data.



Feel free to show proof of all of these doctors from Houston that save our poor health in uneducated and uncivilized DFW. Of the three brain and neurological categories I randomly chose to look up surgeons in, the majority come from out of state. The ones who did come from in state, nearly all went to UT Southwestern in Dallas. One each came from Houston and San Antonio respectively. That seems to be pretty consistent across most specialties.

Oil companies gravitate to Houston, high technology to Austin, and everything else to DFW.

Last I checked the world relies on the energy industry to keep modern civilization from collapsing, and medicine to keep from getting sick and dying... Both pretty important things to the majority of the worlds population...

"Everything else to DFW"... right... That is the most generalized, unsupported, off base comment I've read today with the exception of man panties/silk pajamas comments
