I had to make that a seperate post fro...I'm sorry. I had to make that a seperate post from this one. I'll call it the snake post, and the hitchin' post. I don't know which is which, you decide.<BR/><BR/>Man, you guys need to look around. Urban renewal is happening everywhere. From Dallas to Addison to Southlake to Denton to Fort Worth (however, Arlington is being skipped over for now, because they 25 years behind the rest of the area. And the rest of civilation). <BR/>The Tower just recently opened up in downtown Ft. Worth a little more than a year ago. I talked to the manager of the building to find out where the residents were coming from. She told me that several people were moving out of the suburbs into the "cultural" downtown area. She said that people wanted to "live where they play." <BR/>This is a new phenomenon to me as well as many other people. Because the mentality that most people have is, "live where you work." That way it is more economical for you. <BR/>However, with the advent of the suburbs, this idea has gone out. Because people are willing to drive farther, sit in traffic longer, and spend more money and time to get to work. <BR/>So, many of these people living in the new high rise apartments, where there is so much going on(shopping, movie theaters, dining)...don't even work there. They only live and play there. They still drive 30-60 minutes to get to work though.<BR/>They've taken the idea of economical living and twisted it to fit into their lifestyle. It's the new suburbs. That is why these places are so expensive.<BR/>I would more say that Dallas is the next L.A.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875068993806184389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8690237.post-1153115075468903282006-07-17T00:44:00.000-05:002006-07-17T00:44:00.000-05:00Dallas the new New York?!
