I would tend to agree, but I've spent way more time there than Austin so that might skew things. Austin comes off more as leftist cool hipster to me whereas Dallas is just leftist psychopaths. Houston is pulled right a tiny bit by its energy industry and San Antonio is just northern Mexico
I would limit my thought to Dallas proper. DFW area as a whole isn't that way, but it seems like the last 5 years the City of Dallas and the people in it have gone nuts.
I’d say so. Don’t get me wrong, Lina Hidalgo is a dumbass but you don’t see the pervasive influence of leftists among the elected officials in Houston like you do in Dallas.
Houston has a huge energy sector, and lots of unincorporated areas that make Harris County less lefty than the city proper, but I doubt that Harris County will be voting republican again anytime soon.
This is another datapoint supporting my argument that the Dallas area is the most left wing part of the state.

Dallas had a lot of conservatives in it last time I was there. I wouldn't say they were running things. But they have their spots.

Oh. I lived in North Dallas about 10 years ago. My neighbors were conservative, but they also averaged about 90 years old.
I’m entirely unfamiliar with the area… but more so than Houston?!
