THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A "VS" THREAD. Just an intelligent discussion about two of the US' most important cities.
Both cities are quite similar-
-In Texas, and comprise the two largest metropolitan areas
-They are similar in size, and to some extent in layout.
-similar in suburb development (The Colony, The Woodlands come to mind)
Important distinctions-
-Dallas has distinguished itself as more of the financial center for Texas, while Houston is the energy industry's home.
-The metro area of Dallas is larger b/c of the "Super Burbs" and its proximity to Fort Worth.
-Dallas is bit more advanced with the rail transportation.
-Houston's position as a port and coastal city lends itself to a sea hub of transportation, while Dallas is the larger air hub.
Any other important similarities/ distinctions you can think of?
