Ok so since we are talking about metros, lets look at metros:

4. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX MSA
5. Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX MSA

So talking about metros, Houston can bring up The Woodlands (which is in the metro but not part of the City of Houston) but somehow we should turn a blind eye on Fort Worth and that half of the DFW metro? Double Standard, but hey if it makes you feel more secure than be my guest and apply it.

Exactly, if there's one thing fake and pretentious Dallas really understands, is that it can not stand alone against Houston. Dallas has to mop and sweep up everything from FW metropolitan area, to most of north Texas to practically Oklahoma to compete with Houston; it's the elephant in the room and quite laughable.

Actually, you're not far off. The Dallas North Tollway Phase 4 & 5 project could extend the tollway by up to 18 miles north from U.S. 380, providing a link between downtown Dallas and fast-growing cities in Collin and Denton counties.

Another area is poised for even more activity.

The Woodlands is what it is because of Houston. A master planned community that was suppose to be annexed by Houston. Fort Worth would have been big without Dallas being there.

Please tell me how? Oklahoma isn't in our metro area. Also, could you please stop hating dallas? We all understand that you do not like Dallas, must you keep posting about it? You continuously post over exaggerated negative opinions on Dallas, and its getting really old, like it did 70 posts ago.
