I bet Avi would not agree with this as he apparently lives in the only “hip” area left in this town what with all the “scumbars full of piss” and whatnot.

It’s less than clear from the article whether the author means Dallas or the Dallas area. Dallas itself is no more family friendly than L.A. — you can make it work if you’re a determined urbanite, but there’ll be no shielding the kids from the ugly side of life unless you’re flat-out richer than Jesus.

The area, however, is stocked bow-to-stern with tidy, affordable bedroom communities, as well as exemplary upscale ones. (Might I suggest we gratuitously excoriate Southlake-ites? That was fun, on account of it made them hoppin’ mad. Let’s pile on, people!)
