Who cares, too many tourists 😂

Curious about the environmental impact of massive cities in the Sun Belt. Is it any more/less energy efficient cooling and connecitng a city in a Texas summer than it is heating one during a Midwest winter?

5:22 Saudi Arabia doesn’t produce more oil than the USA. In 2023, the United States led global oil production, averaging 12.9 million barrels per day approximately 20.1% of the world’s total output.  In comparison, Saudi Arabia produced about 11.1 million bpd, representing around 11% of global production. 

Night City reference?

I live in Hammond lmao

"To learn about this, we must go to the beginning.." tired of these bs explainer formats lol. Just get to the point! And this video presented nothing new. yeah Dallas used to be an oil town, yeah it's diversified now and has a bunch of HQs.. And yeah people don't wanna live in the brutal cold and love cheap housing. Why did this need 11 minutes to explain?

Correction: ExxonMobil and Halliburton headquarters are in Houston, not Dallas.

umm, the permian basin is definitely bigger than the east texas oil field. its americas most productive oil field lol

I wonder if he's being paid off to simp for Dallas and Texas

Wish half of or more of Houston would move to DFW...the sprawl, destruction of the piney woods of Montgomery County sucks. Go Dallas, be big bad and awful as you want, become the LA of Texas, please.

Better weather includes frequent tornadoes and hail. Insurance is expensive as heck as a result.

As a longtime resident I gotta say, we're starting to have too many people. The urban sprawl is out of control and the prices of houses have gone up like crazy since covid. Traffic is so bad and it takes forever to drive anywhere now, but public transit can be real shitty too.

So Dallas was founded by an Arkansas native? 😮 that is new to me.

Gary and Haiti share the same story.

Dallas itself sucks. Luckily, we have the park cities.

I think yeah pretty much .

Don't come to Dallas!!! There's no more room!

WOW, I'm shocked to hear that Baldwin Park banned drive-thrus! Good for them.

Population moving towards the sun belt because of air conditioning factor worries me with the amount of energy that's going to be needed for that.

Now I want to live in hexagon city with lots of parks 😢

I would never live in a big city. You can have Dallas. I'll stay in my small town enjoying life.

Enunciation.

I’m from Dallas n everything is getting better and worse

I live in NYC and visit Dallas 2 years ago I loved it i wanna move there!!!

We left Dallas after 9 years and moved to California. It’s more affordable with better weather and people are friendly instead of angry.

The sprawl is absolutely insane. Highways, strip malls, chain stores, unwalkabale - it’s crazy. Yeah, you can have a big house and low taxes but it’s not worth it. I pay a ton of taxes in the northeast but i love my small/walkable Main Street towns, bus services to major cities, and 4 seasons.

It's the new New York which means it's gonna be all fucked up!!!

Those connector paths seem great. A short cut to the store or closest transit stop would be awesome.

The people who complain about drive thrus are the same people quick to use them 24/7 when they get hungry. This is such a clown type topic/argument. Its amazing. You would think they would be complaining about those drive thrus that "trap" the driver......which i think that design should defaintely be banned!!! I cant stand drive thrus that "forces the driver into a one laner blocked by a cement median"

Important to distinguish the City of Dallas, versus the greater DFW metro cities. The City of Dallas is slightly losing population.

Dallas (and the rest of the Sun Belt) will probably never have transit like older US cities. It's too spread out, and the locals don't want it anyway. It's the same story in Houston and Austin. Texas is built around the car, and not much will change that.

You made a mistake. The US is producing more oil than any country in human history. We produce more than Saudi Arabia

Gary was nice back in 1950. It had some great high school basketball.

Why do we have mayors and city councils, and they allow a city to stay like this?

Texas feels like a prison and it just scammed your last 30 bucks for a phone call.

In my opinion, any analysis of Dallas must also incorporate an analysis of Houston. They are sister cities in almost every way, with codependent economies and mirror demographics/growth patterns. I think generally any of the big 4 cities in texas must be read within the context of the texas triangle, but especially Dallas/Houston.

So the big secret to the success of Sun Belt cities is simply letting the laws of supply and demand generate more affordable housing? Who would have guessed? Maybe if all the urban planners and housing advocates would just get out of the way, more cities would build more housing and we would all be better off (and not be tempted to move to car-dependent hot-and-humid zones).

the ad is so unexpected, wow. I’m using another product of the PTV company and never thought I’d see an ad on KZbin for one of their tools

I still don't get it. I would way rather have cool and cold weather than hot. But maybe that's because I am Canadian.

Highways have their function and it's important to treat infrastructure with respect, the problem is keeping highways away from high density areas and making way for other systems, such as trams, pedestrians and metro systems. Highways are incredibly important, we shouldn't vilify them just because some are badly placed.

Dallas is growing fast because people are leaving California and New York due to prohibitively high costs of living, as well as the potential for natural gas on the gulf coast and renewables upstate, driving energy costs down and facilitating industry growth.

To answer your question, no... cities should not ban drive thru restaurants. It's baffling that the suggestion was even made. Innovation and convenience are good, actually. Going back to the 1930's is bad.

You can't really understate how enormously sprawling and low-density Dallas is. This also makes Dallas one of the cities with the highest energy use per capita, since everyone has to drive everywhere. Not really great with the impending climate catastrophe.

The problem is cars 🚘, no public transport, can’t walk across 8 lane streets and miles long parking lots, bikers get ran over. Walkable cities and public transport will help tremendously.

Trying to find something nice to say about Dallas.....how's this? "Well, with all those new people moving in, maybe they'll figure out how so solve some of the problems other cities are facing."

In less than 5 decades, people will be moving back north from a very hot south. Cascadia, Alberta, the Great Lakes + St Lawrence corridor + the North East. That's where to buy land.

DALLAS #1 BEST CITY IN THE WORLD

After moving from Austin to Indiana...I'm so glad I don't have to deal with 115 F days anymore.

we need a rail/public transit system.
