Which city is better to live in, Los Angeles or Dallas?

Well, if a decent paying job and an affordable standard of living mean anything, then Dallas is your better bet. It means nothing of you make $150,000 a year but housing (small at that) is around 2 million dollars (okay, okay, they had a special this week and it's only $1.90 million--but not a penny less). Economically, the DFW area is growing and while traffic can be a pain, at least there is an effort at addressing it. The DFW area is diverse and includes people from all over the country (especially California these days) as well as a large immigrant population. I hope that helps.

That depends. If I had a lot of money, I'd probably live in LA. But if I didn't, Dallas would be a better option.

Dallas.... just watch LunkersTV + LakeForkGuy on YouTube + their respective vlog channels for when they're not doing outdoorsy things ("The Real Americans" + "Lake Life Family"), they live around the general DFW area.... also lots of reports of companies moving from Los Angeles to Texas because the authorities there are less of a pain in the butt to deal with.

Los Angeles ain't that brilliant unless you're rich enough to live in one of the gated posh bits.... lots of recent reports of a homeless crisis there, and diseases such as Typhoid + Bubonic plague reported to be making a comeback as a result of them sh*tting everywhere.

I've seen comments below news articles lately of people saying how much better off they since they left California even though they've gone to lower paying Red States.
