  1. But dear boy, you are out of your league, so to speak. You may be "smart" among the acne set, but I am afraid that claiming private schooling is not going to cut it with me (as I am a by-product as well). I applaud your gumption, but your previous series of posts indicates that you need a few more years on you.

    At your level, you are best served to read and ask questions; on this board, the former may be your best avenue.

    You must be my age or something because I've never met an adult who talks like that. Only my friends talk like that when they want to suck up to someone or to impress people. Adults don't care enough to talk like that.

  2. My only compliment for you Tcole is that you would make a great lawyer because you can bend through anything. Pass the crack pipe in many people's minds is interpreted as bad. i don't know if you do but people in general do which is why you need to be careful with words. Or Ima tussle youuuuuuuu.

  3. I understand what you are saying, i should've been more clear. By annexation I mean Dallas getting others cities and townships to join Dallas. I'm not very sure how cities annex cities, but i do know when cities run out of land they annex townships. the only annexation I know Dallas ever made was the annexation of Oak Cliff(I'm sure there must have been more annexations in the past). I do believe Dallas will be able to annex other cities with our improving safety department and our still developing mass transit will eventual show cities the greatness of Dallas and will make them want to join Dallas. Personally I've never liked all the competition between the cities in Texas. Mainly because I know by the time I'm eighty all the major cities in Texas will be connected as one giant metropolis and you won't even notice when you've left a city. I hope this region gets a name other than Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio. A name like Crockett, in honor of what Davy Crockett did at the Alamo.

  4. Yep. Things have been growing like crazy in FW the last few years and it's just getting started. FW is predicted to surpass Dallas eventually, according to some experts. However, it's not going to take a FEW decades. Maybe 2 at the most. And, with the addition of the Trinity River Vision in FW, things are only going to excellerate in the next few years. FW will probably reclaim the title of 4th largest city in Texas before the end of the decade since Austin is slowing/shrinking now. Another thing to keep in mind. FW's population predictions do not include annexation number... FW does not include those in projections/estimates. Those numbers probably won't be reflected until 2010. Even scarier - FW is only 50% built out... and has first rights to annex more than double the current city square mile land mass. Looks like FW is following Houston's philosophy when it comes to growth...

    I wish FW had a football team - that bad boy went to Arlington so FW can't claim it. Arlington is another city that is about to boom thanks to the Cowboys. They're already approaching 400,000. But, when the Super Bowl comes to Arlington, FW will definitely get the spill over from it.

    Sorry I just don't see the stuff talked about here happening. If it does though, I'm happy for Fort Worth. I might be a Dallasite and the response that i don't see the population outgrowing Dallas could seem like a logical response from someone from Dallas due to the assumed competition from people from Dallas and Fort Worth. Yet, I've always looked at Fort Worth as Dallas's sister city. Like, we always have each other's back. But I don't see Fort Worth ever outgrowing Dallas. Sure it has the land to outgrow Dallas but once Dallas has completed all of its development on open land, Dallas will probably immeaditely starting annexing other cities to allow growth. Another Reason why I don't see Fort Worth outgrowing Dallas is because of their lack of urban growth. Sure they might have all these amazing new projects but what you forget is that Dallas does to. Also the NCTCOG urban population growth charts between 2000 and 2005 shows that Fort Worth is not really in the game. This link leads you to the NCTCOG population growth and prediction area. http://www.nctcog.org/ris/demographics/for...e&thevalue=DAL2 This is why I believe Fort Worth will never overtake Dallas. If it does though, I'm happy for Fort Worth its out sister city.
