Houston
pros: INCREDIBLE food and beer scene, lots of events, surprisingly great museums, really great zoo, symphony is top notch, friendly people, surprisingly cheap, very high cultural and political diversity, good parks system, did I mention the food?
Cons: swampy, brutal summers, public transit (it exists but won't get you anywhere you want to go), suburban sprawl for miles and miles, parks aren't picturesque, Houston is to oil and gas what the bay is to tech
- seanosaur 3y agoHouston is okay to live in. I lived there for 30+ years and while you're not wrong about your pros and cons, those cons severely outweighed the pros more often than not for me. For instance, the zoo is great, when the heat isn't trying to kill you. The sprawl can be a real pain, especially if you're heading from one corner to the other (Kingwood to Sugar Land / Katy is just not enjoyable at all). Add in the current politics in Texas and yeah, I'm glad I'm not in Houston these days.
