Another person talking about Dallas who has probably never been to Dallas, at least not in the last decade..... So common. Dallas does not have as high of a density as NYC or Chicago, but it's been getting denser every year and offers a very livable urbanity, and the option of very good close by suburbs if that's the lifestyle you choose. It's a good balance. All at a reasonable cost of living. It's one of the reasons droves of people have been moving here, more than any other USA metro.
Almost all multifamily going up in Dallas is mid or high rise. You only find lowrise development going up in far flung suburbs. The economics of land prices haven't supported lowrise apartments for awhile in the urban core. Just from looking outside my building, I count 10+ cranes and there are many more in the urban core.Not to mention the proposed new Perot Tower that could very well end up being the tallest west of the Mississippi (something Dallas was used to holding the record for until the 80s).
