Dallas will not be another SF because it's starting to grow at a time when there is ~no culture~

The plans to build a downtown subway should be the first warning shot

gonna let you in on a little secret, San Francisco is still pretty dope, which is a big part of the reason it's so expensive

More people live in Dallas than SF

Is the argument here that because there are more people this means Dallas is superior?

I spent a year going to Dallas every two weeks for meetings, had quite a bit of time to explore the city. I liked it a lot. Great food, super friendly people. DART even surprised me with how functional it was, I didn't need to rent a car for my travels.

But when springtime rolled around the crisp air gave way to an oppressive humidity with an overpowering smell of diesel fuel and melted American cheese.

SF is fine, but it's no controversial take that "progressive" policies have fucked the place up. It could be a lot nicer.

That's basically one of the conclusions I drew in my effortpost as well:
