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 love Dallas, you can find a little bit of everything in this great city. Some people picture cowboys, horses and the Wild West but Dallas is far from that. We are known for mostly business and technology. Downtown Dallas features those two qualities in a way where they compliment each other. Although being in the south and experiencing a great summer full of heat, there is always something to do. For example visiting Old East Dallas for its trendy spots, biking at White Rock Lake or even going thrifting. One of my favorite places to visit is the new AT&T District with a food hall of various bites. There is truly a nice blend of all types of people in Dallas who have conformed into the “Southern Hospitality” role.
