Fair enough. But when was the last time anyone called Dallas "vibrant"? Maybe it's just as much about perception of diversity. Edit to add: how about apples-t

Fair enough. But when was the last time anyone called Dallas "vibrant"? Maybe it's just as much about perception of diversity. Edit to add: how about apples-to-apples comparison too, eh? You could have chosen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco#Demographics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco#Demographics Or: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas%E2%80%93Fort_Worth_Metroplex#Demographics_2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas%E2%80%93Fort_Worth_Metro... Instead you chose to compare the 7 million population Bay Area to the 1.1 million population city of Dallas. Second edit: I'd like to retract the 'fair enough' since it wasn't actually a fair comparison. ;)
