Houston is also hotter than the forges of Hell in summer and almost as humid as New Orleans, mixed with the occasional hurricane which is usually a total disaster. Culturally, Houston has never been marketed as the weird, offbeat town that Austin used to be, which makes it less attractive to Californians seeking new experiences. While there used to be money in Houston, and there probably still is, it’s oil and shipping money, old and conservative, which had its dreams crushed after the oil booms of the 80s. Enron was the hammer that drove the final nail in the coffin holding the withered, dessicated corpse of Houston. Sooner or later, it will be Austin’s turn.
