What makes the DFW Metroplex Provider Mecca?

[Guest082318]

An over abundance of pimps and wanna be pimps that do more recruiting than SMU did in the 80's

Underfunded vice squads. There are only about 40 assigned to the vice division and once they get good at "the pussy posse" they get bumped up to Narcotics which is considered to be of a greater threat to the commonweal.

You would think so, but it's probably because there is more $ in it than prostitution.

It's easy:

1. The Metroplex is a very large urban area, much larger than most large cities when you fold in all the suburbs, so the number of people makes it a statistically rich environment for most things.

2. Salaries are higher here by nearly 4% than in most parts of the country, so there are a lot more people with disposable income. Adding to the amount of disposable income is the crazy low cost of living.

3. The state doesn't fund state run agencies adequately, so LE doesn't have the budget to spend time on the lesser vice cases spread across the very large area.

4. Aside from the extreme heat, the weather is good, so that draws folks.

I don't think salaries are higher, cost of living is lower. Which , yes , could equate to more money in your pocket.

I recently read a study that puts Dallas as one of 7 cities with higher salaries in key job markets.

Link to study would be great - not that I don't trust you but would like to read it.

Curious, what's a 'high' salary considered around the metroplex ?
