Well obviously comparing a landlocked city like Dallas to mountainous coastal locales like BC or countries with tiny populations such as Finland and Iceland isn't a fair comparison. Apples to oranges.
As far as inland cities go, the DFW area isn't a bad place to live. There's certainly plenty to do beyond eating and shopping.
I don't like the summer weather here. But there are lots of places where the summer weather is worse.
