Would you rather live in New York City or Dallas? (Pics)

[78novacaine]

I would rather live literally anywhere in Texas than that rotten arse so called apple, no matter how much money I had...

LOL college-aged is quite young, it can be enjoyed until you are up to 35 yo or so. After that, it seems to be a tough choice if you want to stay there.

This has been true of NYC for a very long time. When I was in my 20's I met people in their 40's and 50's who used to live in NYC and were then in DFW. General sentiment was NYC is good if you are young and poor [opportunities, energy, benefits maybe...] and it is good if you are very wealthy.

I've still never been to NYC. I've visited both London and Toronto briefly.

Usually I go there for expos or sports events. Dallas is a good place to shop :shrug:

This is true. Lived a little north of downtown right off of 75 for about 4 years. And, at least in that area, it wasn't quite as boring and faceless as the newer richer suburbs. There were Mexican dominated areas, areas with more Chinese and Vietnamese, a Jewish temple zone, and some Muslim areas.

the correct answer is Fort Worth...30 minutes from Dallas, but nicer neighbors, lower crime, more affordable, and more greenery.

Good answer. I like that Fort Worth has added more housing in and around the downtown area and that the medical district has been revitalized. If Fort Worth wasn't so close to Dallas I think it might have become another version of Austin, but not liberal.

just went there a month ago, most expensive city I have ever been to including NYC, for food and entertainment at least. I also go to LA 1-2 times a year, Chicago was about 2x the cost of things besides housing.

Maybe its just a post covid/inflation thing.

That's just objectively false...

Dallas because freedom.


NYC might be alright for short term if I had an high income (300K+ per year). But if I had to live long term Texas any day.

What is Plano like? I talk to a HBB Chad from there.

I’ve only been to Dallas once for a conference and it was really nice. I went shopping at Highland Park.

[RabbiGoldberg]

Definitely New York.

[hardcock]

New York all day, every day. Best city on earth. Best theaters. Best food. Best pussy.

[steeler505]

Mogadishu, ****lia

[SuperHercules]

A OP le gusta ir a Dallas muy seguido

[BornagaininUES]

Dallas over NYC and it’s not even close. If we ignore the atrocious politics and stupid cost of living in NYC; Texans are just all around better people, the food is 10x better and the overall culture is better.

There are a couple of Texas cities I’d pick over Dallas, but the north Dallas area (Frisco, the colony, Addison) are goat places to settle down.

So much this. Texans are much better people overall than New Yorkers, most of this country is really. If it was not for the midwestern and southern transplants flooding into Manhattan, New York would be a slightly better version of Detroit and wouldn't hold the prestige it does as a city. The transplants from outside of the northeast save the city.

[TBO1313]

whats your opinon of dallas?

I would take houston ANY DAY over dallas, i would rather pay to go to houston than have a free trip all inclusive to dallas.

Houston, San Antonio and Austin are all preferable to Dallas. It's the worst big city in Texas I've been to.

[katya422]

What is Plano like? I talk to a HBB Chad from there.

I’ve only been to Dallas once for a conference and it was really nice. I went shopping at Highland Park.

Plano is a very nice area, but it has become even more crowded and expensive than before. One YT guy that I watch has recently done videos on cities people don't regret moving to AND cities do regret moving to based on polling his audience. Plano made the "regret" list and Dallas made the "do not regret" list.

I mainly find the roads the most annoying part of DFW because there seems to be too many cars for the available highways, a lot of poor signage, bad drivers, and several expensive toll roads. If you can stay home when more people are out and go out when more people are at work/school that helps.







FWIW on the "don't regret" list he says a lot of respondents said "good looking women" for Dallas. Of course you don't know where they moved from.

you are right about that one, i forgot that it does have great shopping, the Galleria is legit AF makes Austin malls look like homeless shelters

Everytime I go to dallas I also go to Eatzi's and get a prosciutto sandwich, they literally just pile prosciutto on it and all the ingredients are fresh made artisan stuff and you can choose from all sorts of cheeses and spreads and breads and extra toppings. It is a foodie heaven so much ridiculously good deli/to go food there.

[BornagaininUES]

What's ironic is that a lot of "New Yorkers" from places like Long Island and Jersey desperately try to be like Texans but look laughably cringe in doing so. I always laugh at New Jersey hyping itself up as a football state when California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, and Alabama all produce far better football talent and rank way higher in the football rankings.

The most annoying part about NYC culture is that while you do have the rich cosmopolitan areas like Manhattan where cool people from across the country and world come to intermingle, you are also left with dumps like Long Island and Bergen County where you have a bunch of overcompensating beta males desperately trying to act tough. They just cannot pull off being alpha like Texans and southerners can.

I am not sure what it is with the white male population of NY but it comes off as laughably beta compared to the one in Texas and the south, even the west coast tbh. Hard to take some guido manlet seriously.

Couldn’t pay me to live in NY

[Retoaded]

How is this a question? NYC is the cultural and financial capital of the world. The freaking United Nations are located in NYC.

Dallas is best known as that place where JFK was shot and some dude named JR.

Please misc.

JR was also shot. Twice.



Prime Victoria Principal Cawt damn.

[iputyouatapoint]

Dallas.

[lightsarefallin]

If I had to pick, 100% Texas.

[Jayl12345]

Lol, strong bias in picture posting.

NYC is a close up downtown of construction with a grey filter, Dallas from miles away showing a suburb with lots of trees.

Tell me you hate NYC without telling me.

I'm stationed in NYC and honestly thought I would hate it bc everyone on here seems to despise it. But after several months, I love being here.

Would still probably pick Dallas overall, but damn.

[TheAdlerian]

I liked in Denver CO for several years and hated it.

It was a fake city with buildings but no one lived in the city, there was nothing in the city, it had no culture, was boring, etc.

New York literally has everything from around the world and every cool and interesting thing you could ever want to do. They even installed things like walking trails in the city with plants and so on.

Every kind of food, item, and urban thing to do is in the city.

If it's a cold winter though, it's BRUTAL in NYC with canyon effect winds creating hell.

I have never been to Dallas.

What's in Dallas other than building and so on?

Yeah this Chad from Plano said all the young pretty girls are either on OF or sugar babies for old rich men. He said it’s impossible to find a good looking girl not into that scene.

Dallas is better to settle down in. NYC is tough to beat if you are into the foodie scene and want to always have something to do. However, you must live in Manhattan to truly enjoy it. I feel like the beauty of NYC, only Manhattan really, is that you never feel old there. Met 40+ yr old brahs that were having the time of their lives and enjoying life. Nothing quite beats the upbeat culture of Manhattan if you can figure out a way to afford a place there.

Winters are no joke but they kind of have their special allure. City does not smell as bad as it does in the summer and it is something to be inside at a coffee shop doing work while it snows outside.

I love NYC and lived there for a few years with a girl I was with.

We had a great time most every day.

You can even walk around, spend no money, and have sights to see.

There's innocent fun and ultra weirdness to enjoy.

I live in Philly now and it has nothing really worth seeing or doing more than once. It doesn't have all the cultures of NYC, which I love. Philly is a black ghetto town with some Irish scum types who are worse than ghetto black people. Sadly, it's excellent for my career but that's about it.

Like I said, in Denver the city could not be more boring and was totally useless.

Philly has lots of negative action, but good food. NYC has positive action, great food, and great culture, but is weirdly expensive.

[poolshark472]

just LOL at citycels.



OMG look at these man made structures! They even light up at night!

What the fuk are you even saying....just stop posting...

[ParsleyTea]

With the high crime and high taxes in NYC I wouldn't want to live there I believe. The colder weather in NYC would be a negative also. The harsh COVID lockdowns in New York would be another reason for avoiding New York.

Yeah but the reality is that once you get outside of Manhattan and maybe Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NYC is every bit like Phili with a bit of smugness to it. What gets me is that the most arrogant "new yorkers" are rarely from Manhattan or Westchester, they are always from Jersey, Long Island and the outer boroughs, the same places where there is nothing to do.

However, Manhattan is just prime fun time. LES and East Village are GOAT. Upper half can be enjoyed if you are older as the art museum and central park are there.

When I lived there I hated many new yorkers especially the "gay" type heteros and perfectionistic bitches who all wanted to "eat organic" and practice magic while living in a super capitalistic techno town.

I went to the farmers market and then went to my Reiki study to do some energy work!

GO F@CK YOURSELF!

I can't stand yuppie types but that's who I was dealing with but I loved the food, weirdness, and people watching.

Vs

You posted a pic of Manhattan from the 1970s and a pic of Dallas from the modern era… I’ve lived here all my life and the air pollution has gotten significantly better over time.

Back then, the EPA had barely been established, and we were only starting to see emission regulations on vehicles and factories. Factories also were allowed to pollute in the Passaic and Hudson rivers, which dumped into NY harbor.

So you’re being purposefully misleading.

To answer the question, NY is superior because of the vast quantity of capital and employment opportunity, assuming you’re savvy enough to learn a technical skill. In practice, this means that if you don’t like a job, you can quit and find 100 just like it nearby.

Another plus for NY is that the increase in rent is offset by not having to own a vehicle. I have friends who live in Jersey and talk all this **** about how much they save on housing… and then tell me they spend $1400 per month on car payment + insurance + gas + maintenance. That expense is gone in NYC.

I’m sure Dallas is nice, you’d get a bigger place ,and the lower taxes are for sure beneficial, but I don’t think it would be great to have to pay for a car, drive everywhere, sit in traffic, and also not be able to walk places. Plus there just isn’t as much economic opportunity.

Just my two cents 🤷‍♂️
