Yes, but Texas (outside of Austin) is basically like a totally different country. It bears zero resemblance to NYC, Boston, DC, SanFran, etc.

- sremani 10y agoAbsolutely not, the sprawl of Dallas is not that different from sprawl of D.C. only bigger not different.
- vonmoltke 10y agoIt bears a whole lot of resemblance to LA, Phoenix, Denver, Tuscon, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Atlanta, ... I could keep going, but the point is NYC, SF, and Boston are the outliers in the US, not the other way around.
- ghaff 10y agoBoston is really a mix. There are some startups and, increasingly, satellite offices in Boston/Cambridge of both local and west coast companies. Plus biotech/pharma in Kendall Square of course. But the main offices of a lot of the local tech and tech-related employers are still out on the 128 and 495 corridors as they've been for decades.
- amyjess 10y ago> Texas (outside of Austin) Austin is no different from the rest of Texas. I have friends in Austin; the way they describe Pflugerville, it sounds exactly like Plano or Richardson. Dell's corporate campus is in Round Rock, too. Yeah, the city center is full of hipsters, but the suburbs are indistinguishable from those of Dallas and Houston.
