There is not much of a chance. DFW is 75 miles across east to west and that is just the heavily developed portion. US cities incorporate much more private housing and as such have a much larger footprint. As much as efficiency is a goal, not many of us want to give up a home and private residence in lieu of an apartment. There are some, but definitely not the majority.

LOL, nothing at all wrong with NW Arkansas. My comment was more to underscore the power of perception. Better is of course subjective to what you want in a place. For most, that means better employment, but those places often come with much higher living costs, so not much is gained. Some like urban lifestyle and convenience, others like a more reclusive lifestyle and nature. The key is to figure out what one likes and to accept the good and bad that comes with it.
