Houston for culture and Dallas for corporate/settling in a nice neighborhood. The strength of Houston is in the city while the strength of Dallas/DFW tends to be in the suburbs which makes Houston the more urban option of the two. Heat is not as humid in Dallas. Both areas are super diverse whereas Houston is more of a melting pot (to me) while Dallas is more like a salad. Houston also has bigger brand universities located within the city of Houston (Rice/TSU/U of H).

I lived in dallas/plano and Houston. I like both but i prefer Houston. People say its ghetto it may appear that way in areas. When you live here you find out where the good areas are and there are plenty!

Ok you’ve been all over. What was it that made you leave the Plano area?

[@mooneymoney7484]

@DallasRelocationGuide I just always preferred the houston area I'm originally from oklahoma so I've been to dfw several times and found houston area something new to what I'm used to. I like dfw my fav city would be plano or frisco legacy area also Addison area

[@sjwilliams123]

Plano is Collin county not Dallas county . Just making sure people understand that because the city of Dallas is nothing like Plano, Addison and Denton.

[@mooneymoney7484]

@sjwilliams123 I wouldn't say nothing alike but yes plano has differences and is in Collin county. Garland is in dallas County and I think it's a difference between it and Dallas but all these cities and suburbs run into each other

Over the years I feel like Dallas traffic has gotten worse than Houston’s… I live in Houston, and I can get around as long as I avoid the peak hours and certain highways. In Dallas during peak traffic hours, It’s horrible even if you try to take the back roads. In Houston I can take certain back roads and be fine because they have more streets you can take to avoid.

[@carloso5563]

Agreed

[@nomaderic]

I drive for a living. My reasoning for that is two things. Half of Dallas freeways are freaking tolls and the other half are always under construction. It's almost never a smooth drive anywhere in dallas

[@HondaXr650L]

Living wise because of the houses/family lifestyle i choose Dallas, but i love Houston more than Dallas. It's more Southern Hospitality, and the food is better. The night life is wayyy better in Houston.

I live in Dallas for work lol but I go to Houston to play. Great vid bro Dallas traffic is worse by the way speaking from my truck driver experience

Haha, sounds like you’ve found a balance between the two cities-Dallas for the grind and Houston for the fun! Thanks for the kind words on the video, I appreciate it!

[@grayscar05]

I lived in both and love both for different reasons. Dallas is better for weather, jobs, overall clealiness, and things to do outside just partying. Houston feels more cultured, more fun, better food, and more affordable. Houston is on the up but Dallas is still far enough ahead in my opinion. And Dallas food is really good but Houston is just top tier with the food

[@DallasRelocationGuide]

Sounds like you’ve found the best of both worlds in each city! I totally agree-Dallas is great for jobs and staying active outside of the party scene, but Houston’s got that culture and next-level food. It’s hard to top the food in H-Town, for sure! What do you think it would take for Houston to close the gap with Dallas in areas like jobs and overall growth?

[@ifym5455]

The guy and girl who said that Dallas has the better food and agreed that Dallas has the worst traffic proved to me they don’t know what they are talking about. Born and raised in Texas and I have lived in the DFW for years and have visited Houston multiple times. Houston is absolutely more diverse in the food and has horrific traffic. The man who said traffic in Houston lasts the whole day is not lying.

[@nevanotreel]

Yeah I’m from Dallas and frequent Houston for family and friends. I’d say Dallas traffic has definitely gotten worse than Houston’s over the last few years

[@AuthorLHollingsworth]

Facts. The traffic here in Houston is terrible. Honestly, the traffic used to be easy back in the day. Houston has changed a great deal since 2010. The majority of the people are not from here, but I still love my city.

[@segwaywinner]

Dallas is on track to get a resort style casino which is a quality nightlife alternative for those over 30. Houston is the better party city overall. Traffic remains to be much better in Dallas than Houston. Weather is a draw just a different variety of hot! Dallas wins k-12 while Houston wins higher-ed. Houston wins for quality jobs that don't require a degree, both are pretty good for entrepreneurs. Food is a draw Dallas wins BBQ/Tex-Mex, Houston wins Soul Food/Asian. While the metroplex is diverse I hear more poc say they prefer Houston to Dallas.

[@DallasRelocationGuide]

Great breakdown of the pros and cons of both cities! I definitely agree that both have their strengths when it comes to food, nightlife, and opportunities, and it's true-the weather is just a different version of hot no matter where you go in Texas! The casino addition in Dallas could really shake things up for nightlife, especially for those looking for something beyond the typical party scene. I’m curious, with all that said, what do you think is the biggest factor that makes people of color lean more toward Houston over Dallas?

[@segwaywinner]

@@DallasRelocationGuide Houston uses diversity and inclusion as a big selling point whereas Dallas packages diversity as a negligible benefit to the cityscape. However Dallas did have the first black mayor, a very strong black community today and a pretty vibrant multicultural scene.

I'm from Florida. I moved to Houston 3.5 years ago. If you move to Houston, live on the outskirts. Living inside the loop is very active and can get sketchy. Also, Houston's infrastructure is very weird so be careful where you live or buy a home. The flooding can be crazy.

[@walter23497]

[@jennib9953]

I live in the DFW area and think Dallas is a better because the transit is much better in Dallas then Houston. Dallas have a longer rail system to travel within the surrounding area. Houston is limited and i am surprise since Houston is better. Dallas have more business moving here and the school system is much better then Houston. Houston cost of living is slightly cheaper then Dallas in comparison. Houston have flooding from storms or hurricanes. Dallas have flooding but not often. Crime is everywhere but Houston crime is a little more worst then Dallas.

Totally agree-it all comes down to what you’re looking for! Both cities have something different to offer depending on your vibe and lifestyle. What’s something about Houston that really matches your lifestyle and makes it feel like home?

[@Quellthathitta]

I lived in both and I’m currently in Houston now. Dallas has more corporate opportunity, Houston has better food and nightlife. Houston more gritty & ghetto, but parts of Dallas be flaming shi too in certain parts. Houston got hurricanes and tornadoes, Dallas only got tornadoes. Houston more populated, Dallas has suburbs and sub cities that are built up more. Dallas has a lot of western culture with a lil southern culture to it, Houston southern.

[@DallasRelocationGuide]

Sounds like you’ve got a solid handle on both cities! Houston definitely brings the flavor with the food and nightlife, but yeah, it’s got that gritty side too. And those hurricanes are no joke! Dallas does have that mix of western and southern culture-it’s a whole different vibe. Which city do you feel more connected to overall, now that you’ve spent time in both?

[@KingAsa5]

@@DallasRelocationGuide definitely Dallas. Dallas reminds me a lot of LA. As far as geographical layout goes. Each city in the metroplex has its own vibe and culture and they don’t identify themselves with Dallas. So it really helps Dallas stand out.

[@gabrielarmsted8020]

As a Houstonian, you are interviewing people that know only a superficial view of Houston. You can not compare the two because both places are great in their own right. Houston is a Black Woman with a Divas attitude, Dallas is a woman that is soft with a little spice. We are not the same, so you can not compare us.

[@DallasRelocationGuide]

I love that comparison! Houston and Dallas definitely have their own unique vibes, and it’s true-you can’t really compare them apples to apples. Each city shines in its own way. What do you think makes Houston’s "diva attitude" stand out the most compared to Dallas’ "soft with a little spice" vibe?

[@gabrielarmsted8020]

@DallasRelocationGuide Houston's Black population is a mix of Louisiana Creoles, Afro-Latinos, Caribbean people, and hella Nigerians. This population of diversified Black folks adds a unique texture of Blackness that Dallas does not really have. Because we have this diversified waves of Blackness, it makes the night life bolder. When you look at the Southwest side, it is full of opulance, and many of the Blacks on this side of town are urban professionals and entrepreneurs, so this leads to a lot of over the top venues that Houston has. Now Dallas, in my opinion, is cool and it is laid back. You all have great food and the night life is cool it is not as elaborate as Houston's night life. You all have great suburbs. Pretty much you all are the lighter side of Houston because we have similar accommodations, but they are just packaged differently. Let's also keep in mind Dallas is Old Money, Texas, and Houston is more new money, so they present themselves differently.

[@JustRoTv80]

I'm always watching your videos but I never really comment. However, I'm going with Dallas. Dallas does have hospitality at least I've always felt that way when visiting. In over 20yrs of being back and forth by car and plane visiting I've never had issues in the DFW. People or food wise. I'm going to eventually move there. I like the burbs there in comparison to the KansasCity,MO area. Houston is cheaper in some ways, but it is a little ghetto. There's things that happen in both cities but driving wise I'm choosing Dallas. The one thing I wish would happen for Dallas is that they clean up South Dallas. It could be better than what it is.

[@DallasRelocationGuide]

Man, appreciate you taking the time. For some of the newcomers to the Channel what suburb would you recommend for them?

[@JustRoTv80]

@DallasRelocationGuide Rockwall and Garland are definitely areas to look into. When I was there in February, I was able to check out more of the Irving area, and I feel it still has some more potential. I haven't seen Arlington in a while it feels too far out, lol. Now, recently, I've wanted to check out the Carrollton area. So hopefully, next time I'm down that way, I'll be able to do so. The Eullus area may be an area for me to check out as well, but my whole thing is for someone like myself, I prefer to be near the airports when I move. Right now I'm about 50min from the airport in KC and it's annoying. If I need to fly to Chicago. KC or out East once I move, I'm going to want that convenience.

I've lived in both cities..at first I thought Houston was better because of the diversity of people, better food, and it seemed faster but over the years, Dallas has REALLY picked up in growth and offer just as much as Houston or more. Dallas metroplex is better, (Arlington with Six Flags, Frisco etc.) looks, kept better as far as appearance in roads, landscaping and everything nationally comes through Dallas as far as entertainment, better Fine Arts, State Fair is better compared to Houston's Rodeo, and Dallas easily has the best metro rail system in Texas.

Relo'ed to North Dallas from Detroit in 2012. It was either there or Pearland as our two options to move to. I have family in Houston and been to it many times as a tourist. Here's my take. Dallas can be "hoity-toity" as Houston can be "hood" but when it comes to careers, if your in the tech field, Dallas is the spot. If you're in the medical field? Houston. When it comes to food, Houston is better. It was already good before Louisianans came due to Katrina, but after? It went up another level. Crime is every where so I won't speak on that however when it comes to dating, Dallas is safer, Houston is turning into Sodom and Gahmora. When it's comes to traffic. Dallas traffic is getting bad as far as congestion but Houston traffic is ridiculous due Fast and furious on the freeways. Living expense. It's cheaper in Houston. Weather. Flooding and hurricanes in houston and HUMIDITY! Dallas I Heat. Just straight dry heat.

I grew up visiting family in both (all areas in the two cities) and now have lived in both about 5 years a piece through my 30's into my early 40's. From my experience Dallas is more family and 'I'm done with the night life' leaning. There are some nice spots for Black folks, but nowhere near as many as Houston. Even my cousins that visit from Dallas say Houston is 'nonstop' 😂. They come here to Houston to 'cut up'...As for H-town, it's more for the folks that aren't thinking anything about a family for the most part. Strictly making money (Hustle City USA) in many ways especially the medical and energy industries and thoroughly enjoying the night life (work hard, play hard). Houston starts partying on Wednesday and doesn't stop until Sunday Funday is over. You can close your eyes and throw a rock and hit a Black owned restaurant and or bar and lounge in Houston and meet folks from all over the social spectrum. Just my experiences of the two cities. Glad to be back in Houston. Musically and culturally, Houston is to Texas as Atlanta is to Georgia or NY to the East Coast. And yes, the food here is ridiculous 💯 Maaaayyyyyyynnnnnneeeee! ✌🏿😂

Haha, I love how you put that-Houston really is “Hustle City USA!” It sounds like you’ve got a solid perspective on both cities after living in each for a good chunk of time.

I keep hearing a Atlanta compared to Houston conversation heating up in the culture. Like some people are saying Houston could be the "next Atlanta" though I still think Atlanta is the black Mecca culturallly of America and Houston may need to find another rallying cry than that of what Atlanta has had going on for decades now probably since the MLK jr civil rights days until now. So Houston would have some catching up to do with tryna to be the next major black cultural type of city of America or The black cultural city of America other than "Turning up" and night life, because The A still has that too and it may come all the way back to how it use to be in that area for the ATL soon too due to the cleaning up of the activity from the influx of transplants to the A during the pandemic times tho, to catch up to Atlanta if you ask me and btw this is coming from a current metro Atlanta resident so their may be some bias in what I'm saying tho, lol But you may need to do a Houston vs Atlanta video possibly too see whats what with that. Also Ive been to Dallas but not Houston so I am curious to see if their is a real comparison between The A and H Town tho👀🤔

Miami or Atl, maybe she should do a nationwide tour then go back to Dallas I doubt she’ll feel the same way,And Houston traffic is definitely worser But not as worse as NYC or Los Angeles though,And of course Houston has way more diversity I mean tbh it’s not even close And it shows in the many different festivals, parades, cultures And especially in our food scene from Cuban, Caribbean, Jamaican, Ethiopian,African Persian,Indian to Venezuelan, Argentinian,samoan,Hondorian, Brazilian , Colombian,Panamanian, Dominican, Puerto Rican,&&Haitian! Amongst many others Dallas is more of the traditional stereotypical American Texas city tho,However It’s a reason over 145 languages is spoken in Houston And besides us Miami && NYC is the only cities in the U.S. tht has the highest population of South Americans, We also have a saying tht you could tour every country && continent across the globe w/o evr leaving Houston,But yess it is extremely hot && humid in The “H” then it is in Dallas and it’s a reason for tht bcuz Houston is a coastal city 50 miles from the Gulf which comes w/ subtropical climate palm trees floods && hurricanes And also has plenty room for growth bcuz of the advantage of being coastal Plus an abundance of fresh seafood w/ cruiselines && tourism alot of pros comes w/ coastal cities it isn’t all just hurricanes,floods hot && humidity you know Whereas Dallas is landlocked w/ not much room for development or atleast not as far as international trade,And facilitating maritime shipping,Resource extraction,blue economy or urban development goes, And something else worth mentioning though it might come off a bit bias But hey it is wht it is,Houston skyline is way more superior And Dallas just doesn’t have an answer for it🤷🏾the triple D is more comparable to midtwn or memorial city then it is to downtown Houston,though I have to admit Dallas skyline is quite charming at night But once tht sunrises tht charm fades!!!

Haha, you definitely have a deep love for Houston, and I respect it! There’s no denying Houston’s diversity and the richness it brings, especially with the food scene and all the cultural events.

You make some great points about the skylines, too-it’s all about personal taste! What do you think is the biggest advantage Houston has over cities like NYC or Miami when it comes to the overall lifestyle?

[@1TewBuMyShoe]

What are you talking about?! Dallas has the most urban and walkable neighborhoods in the State of Texas. Many of them are located north of Downtown Dallas (that includes Uptown Dallas) and are seamless because of Klyde Warren Park. Houston has no answer for it. That’s why people said in the video that Dallas has more walkable areas, which is true. Uptown Dallas has Texas’ only subway station, Houston doesn’t have one…and Uptown Dallas has streetcars (Bishop Arts in Oak Cliff has streetcars as well). Heck, Houston barely has rail. There’s currently a building boom happening right now in the Downtown/Uptown area. There are cranes everywhere because of the boom of financial companies expanding in Dallas. They’re calling Dallas “Y’all Street”, which is the Wall Street of the South. Please go look that up. Goldman Sachs is building its 2nd largest office outside of NYC in Uptown Dallas and the new Texas Stock Exchange is coming to Downtown Dallas. Notice how none of these financial companies went to Houston, including the new Texas Stock Exchange. Houston’s economy is still heavily dependent on oil and gas. That’s why Houston has all of those ugly petrochemical plants, something you’d never see in Dallas. Also, Dallas’ economy is extremely diverse. It’s funny how y’all act like Dallas isn’t diverse. There are literally ppl moving here from all over, just like Houston. LMAO international trade?!? We have DFW Airport, the 2nd largest airport in the world. We don’t need a port to ship things across the world. We have an inland port. Also, we have the Dallas Market Center on Stemmons Freeway, it’s the largest wholesale merchandise mart in the world. It has been there for 55+ years. Houston’s lack of zoning will always be its achilles heel. It can never plan out walkable urban neighborhoods like Uptown Dallas, Bishop Arts in Oak Cliff, Lower Greenville, Deep Ellum, Knox-Henderson, Victory Park, etc. Houston is trying to copy Klyde Warren Park because of all of the massive growth it has sparked, since it was built in 2012. We’re already building another deck park in Oak Cliff by the Dallas Zoo near Bishop Arts and Downtown Oak Cliff. It’s being built over I-35E. Another deck park is about to start over I-30 connecting Downtown Dallas to The Cedars in South Dallas. The city is spending billions to totally rebuild the convention center area in downtown and connect it to South Dallas. That’s one of the reasons Goldman Sachs (and other financial companies) is expanding in Dallas. We’re doing major urban infrastructure upgrades to make the city more urban, connected, and walkable. This is only a small sample of what’s going on. There’s 16.5 million sq ft of office space in Uptown Dallas now with 2.5 million sq ft underway. There’s over 20,000 residents in Uptown on 0.925 sq mi of land. Mind you, that population does not include Victory Park, Oak Lawn, Turtle Creek, or other urban neighborhoods north of Downtown that are densifying quickly.
