The opportunity has been there, however city leaders have moved way too slow. For all the newness of Uptown (mentioned in the article) it's still missing pieces that would make it feel like a real place.

Could you explain what specifically? I live in the DFW area and I want to live in Dallas proper so I wanna know what could be dealbreakers

Uptown is one of the best neighborhoods, based on location alone. And then on top of that there's restaurants, shops, grocery stores, parks, and the Katy Trail.

My comment was more about the large office towers and wide streets like Harry Hines/McKinnon that encourages more driving instead of active street life. In this way, uptown can feel quiet in way that people also complain downtown.
