I would not say Dallas is the best place to live in USA...but it's a decent place. Good community. Decent schools in the metroplex. Downtown Fort Worth is good . I lived there for long time. No snow ..that was the best part for me ...also if u r football fan...it's a football city.....watching cowboyz game is a ritual......longhorns are just 2 hour drive away...now the mavericks are catching the people's imagination.....If u like hockey ...u'll love Mike Modano..he's awesome......Above all it's an inexpensive city. Never in the USA u'll find a decent place to live so inexpensive as in DFW Metroplex. Love Dallas
