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.

The city is absolutely beautiful; However, the overall lack of safety lessens the appeal. I live in the suburbs of downtown Dallas and the crime rate in the area is deafening. There is a lack of privacy, but that is what can be expected in a bustling location. My neighborhood is a close community. There is a togetherness to makes my home more comfortable. I live close to Dallas Fair Park, Baylor Hospital, White Rock Lack, and other important areas. The architecture is absolutely beautiful! The Victorian house that I live in is cozy and full of history. I live in a historical district, so that is pretty interesting.
I like Dallas, Texas for the diversity in its people and culture. There is so much to appreciate in this city. The city in itself gives a vibrant feel and is great for tourism. The Dallas skyline is very beautiful at night and many visitors come from all over the world to visit the downtown area. The restaurants are amazing with different foods of a variety of cultures. If you want a taste of different parts of the world, come to Dallas. Aside from the city nights and the great food, you can also appreciate the quiet, peaceful parts of Dallas that are full of farms, land, and agriculture. Many farmers markets are available where you can support local businesses. Dallas is a one-stop-shop for different preferences of your liking. I love it here and would recommend anyone to visit or make this place your home.
