Dallas to me is like my second home. It has opened doors for me. I love Dallas! Even though i'm not from here, but this is my "home".
If you want diversity, inclusion, respect, and good city living, come to the Big D.
You can find a place here for you and your loved ones.
One suggestion I would include would be more degree or online type of education that would include Bachelor's and even Master's type of level of degrees at the Community Colleges. This is especially a good fit for Dallas Colleges, which is the largest college system in Dallas, and for good reason. They are one of the most diversified and talented group of educators and students, the Big D can offer. It would be a win-win for both the communities and for employers. Even the students would be able to afford a traditional degree in less time with less funding. Plus it would give students more options for things of their interest and liking's to pursue.
Anyways, just a thought.

I greatly appreciate the limitless activities and diversity in Dallas County. One weekend, I can swim at the lake while bike-riding in a nearby mountain range. From swimming pools, to arcades, to movies, to ice skating, the possibilities are endless. Additionally, there are tremendous amounts of resources available 24/7 ranging from education, hobbies, volunteering, jobs, growth and development, transportation, religion, and businesses. The communities continue to grow and in a time such as now, where many people are losing opportunities, Dallas county continues to exponentially grow.
I have been a resident of Dallas county for the past seven years. One of the best places to live in 2022. My family and I Moved from India to the United States as permanent residents back in 2015, graduated high school here after went to Dallas community college to do prerequisites for my degree, and this semester moved to Arlington, to attend the University of Texas at Arlington. The best thing about Dallas is its diverse culture. I love food and trying new food, since Dallas has a large diverse population, I got the opportunity to try many types of food, most of them love. And the big building in downtown Dallas is always a huge attraction day or night, it doesn't matter. During my first week of school, I used to commute every day and downtown Dallas was on my route, I never got bored of the view, it is always fascinating to see it. The people in Dallas are most loving and welcoming, we are always ready to help each other and others. All of these attract a lot of people to Dallas.
