Sitting in Houston right now, I know that you're claim of "nearest point of interest is 8 hours away" is so fking wrong. Houston is like 2 hours away from Austin and is a metropolis.
- ghaff 4y agoSome might question whether Houston is a point of interest ;-)
- Der_Einzige 4y agoIf you think the 4th largest US city is not a POI you're arguing in bad faith
- bart_spoon 4y agoNot really. Just because somewhere is a good place to live doesn't mean its a good place to visit.
- ghaff 4y agoChill. Yes, I'm being snarky. But I did spend quite a bit of time there for work at one point--albeit quite a while ago. And it's sort of a sprawling mess for the most part. If I lived in Austin, I'd probably go to Houston now and then for cultural activities but, no, by and large Houston is not a city I'd go out of my way to visit. Sorry.
- jemfinch 4y agoIf you think a concrete jungle is a point of interest, your interests are definitely different than mine.
- jen20 4y agoHave you actually ever been there? This is the most ridiculous sentiment I’ve ever seen on Hacker News, including the crypto people.
- hash07e 4y agoIt is not bad faith. But conflating 4th largest city as a good think does not make sense. As City of mexico is a big city and Bangladesh too .. Food. in Houston: Go to Chinatown or 1-2 BBQ places Beach? please don't tell me galveston is a beach.... Inside the loop? Outside loop? -> you know what I mean
