That's not true at all... many areas in Sugar Land have canopies of oak trees, with boulevards that remind me of a younger version of the West University neighborhood of Houston. In fact, an original part of Sugar Land actually was named Oakland because the abundance of oak trees, before the city was named Sugar Land for the sugar factory. These trees are not scrubby in the least. I even see some pines here and there, though not pine forests like the north side of town (The Woodlands, Kingwood, etc.) The parts of Sugar Land with no trees or small trees are the remaining farmland areas, or brand-new subdivisions where the developer knocked the trees down.

You people confuse me??? Dallas is sometimes consider barren and treeless, but Sugarland isn't???? Dallas is more lush than Sugar Land.

"I bet it was Al" is a statement; not a question.

And why is it that my name can't stay out of your posts? this is like the second or third time today that you've mentioned AlGreen, without me even having hinted at anything you've said. Clearly you're obsessed with me.

*continues to ignore*

For real!!! Yes, the Houston area has more trees. Dallas also has trees but its on prarie land. I would think these things are obvious and would not need to be discussed.

For me, what Dallas lacks in trees, it makes up for in lakes and hills. I did not grow up around thick layers of trees so it was not an adjustment for me. When I lived in Chicago, trees are also few and far between. Its not as if Dallas is devoid of any physical beauty.
