Tunnels in the US cost more than anywhere else

I find it very American to define living standard by the size of the car, size of drink and home size. I much rather do it by the quality of entertainment and culture I have easily accessible, while choosing to live maybe a little bit smaller but much more connected at any time of day.

Signed, tested a year in Dallas.

To be fair, you chose Dallas

To be fair to Dallas[1], the city itself has begun to rapidly densify and build up rather than out – it looks like a real city in many more parts than it once did (I grew up there).

Would I move back there in the near future? No. Is it comparable to any first-class European city? Definitely not. Is it on par with NYC/SF/DC? Not really. Los Angeles (where I currently live)/Seattle/Atlanta? Somewhat. Heading in the right direction? Definitely.

[1] Unless you're talking about DFW suburbs. In which case, once you cross the city line, try not to lose your soul in all the cookie cutter subdivisions.
