WSJ has to be nice, but I can ask... what is the actual appeal of Dallas?

The location is not within driving distance of something you'd wanna live near to go to regularly (like outdoor recreation).

Humidity is awful. Weather in general is not a plus. Traffic not a plus. Education doesn't stand out. Healthcare doesn't stand out.

The Aquarium is amazing, and they have every store on the planet. Maybe the latter is what most of us humans care about most.

The Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex is largely unremarkable in itself. Its appeal lies in its job market, abundant sunshine, extensive shopping options, and relatively affordable cost of living. While life here may not be exciting, it is comfortable, quiet, and the living is easy.

The airport is a bonus; you can fly directly to almost anywhere in the world.
