This drive usually takes 22 minutes but with traffic it’s up to 41 minutes. As the city grows this problem will get worse. What are solutions that Dallas should consider? Do you have examples of cities that successfully reduce traffic?

These people have never driven in the boroughs of NYC. Dallas does an great job with traffic compared to many of the larger cities. Between belt loops, many intersections, 4 major interstates (one with E and W), a lot of local remote work opportunity, etc. If we go through a country wide economic downturn (we will, we just don’t know when), DFW will boom even more. At the end of the day, if you have a college education and live somewhere on either coast, Dallas has to be on the radar for affordability and access to a lot of what reminds you of home (wherever that may be) You can get very gainful employment and live from weatherford to Denton to Anna to Forney to waxahachie to cleburne and be within distance of a lot of great opportunities. We take it for granted, but DFW is positioned very well for economic busts. Even more so now than 2008. I don’t expect growth to slow down, and there’s a reason there is so many corporate entities purchasing property well outside of what is currently considered DFW. Weatherford will be absorbed eventually, Kaufman county will go from rural to what forney is. Kaufman county even has a 1 acre mandate on properties to try and combat it a bit, but it will just allow for that region to be PRICEY down the road. Hell, Celina has had a population boom. Won’t be long for them either. Investment companies have scooped up land all the way out in Van Zandt county along 20 for a reason. They are heavily investing in fiber optic infrastructure in Kaufman county. They ain’t doing it for the old hands there now. People can complain all they want, and I get it in regards to sprawl. Look hard enough and you can find pretty much anything you are looking for. If you are willing to drive an hour, there ain’t much you can’t find. There’s a reason why estimates are that DFW will be the most populated city in America. Room to run for a LONG way still. Most cities need to build upwards, DFW just goes further out.
