Right in the heart of Texas, the city of Dallas has built its reputation upon the 80s cult series, oil fields and cowboy folklore. But today, 21st century Dallas is above all a symbol of America’s resurrection. Here, anything is possible and everything is done to attract investments. The city has developed into several sectors, including new technologies and real estate. Texas’ economy has become the second most successful in the USA, just behind California, and unemployment rates are falling (less than 5%, one of the lowest rates in America). Consequently, Dallas is one of the most sought-after cities in the US. 2000 people move there every month, attracted by career opportunities, quality of life and a higher buying power than anywhere else.
But although Dallas is the American capital of billionaires and everything swanky, it also has major inequalities. Laurent, a helicopter pilot in the prestigious Dallas Police Department, patrols the poor areas in the south of the city from high up in the air. Here, 1 in 5 people live below the poverty line. 136 murders were committed here just last year and drugs, in particular crack, are widespread. Dallas is also home to ‘Tent City’, the biggest slum in America, where thousands of homeless and deprived people live in substandard conditions.
From ghettos to billionaires’ villas, we take a look into the heart of the ever merciless city of Dallas.

Gross. .yuck
This is all BS. The dude who came from CT and now lives in Frisco. The commute is long dude. WTF are you talking about? Frisco is over 30 miles away from Dallas. It is the same coming from CT to NYC. Lets me see the morning and evening rush. They are both the same. Same going to Dallas from Fort Worth. Thus, he is talking garbage. Additionally, this is an old like 5/10 years ago documentary. The homes in Frisco now cost more than one million. The same home in CT now in the year 2024 will cost you some 5-10 million. Thus, this documentary is all garbage and giving fake and false information. The rodeo they are presenting is NOT in Dallas. It it 30 miles west in Fort Worth. This is known as the Cow Town area downtown. As for Paul. He is homeless by choice. Finally, the mansion from the Dallas tv show and the others do NOT sell for 5-10 million, but now for 10-20-30 million plus. Thus, this is like a 10-20-30 year old documentary.
all these outta towners done ran the prices up on everything smh homes that where once 200k-350k now mid 500k and up just ridiculous
The lack of trust between the rich and the poor is due to being either rich or poor. If the rich would give to those in the streets and not charities, it would build something new and good for all, and if the poor had access to livable wages and security, there would be less drug use and crime. It is not hard to see where the problems lies and of course everything in between that follows.
as Kidd Kraddick use to say, 'mus be niiiice"
