The real Houston:
Angry natives (blacks)
Horrid heat and humidity
Drunk Hispanics everywhere
Out of control Hispanic children flooding every local event (zoo is barely tolerable)
Little to do beyond drugs and alcohol. Unless you like to hike in a swamp and get attacked by illegal immigrate mosquitos (Asian tiger mosquitoes)
The only thing this city has going is the job market.
Your description of Houston below is probably the main reason that so many well off Houston people buy homes in N California to live in after they retire. We know of 3 couples that fit that description. One couple a few years ago, moved in. They have gotten two other couples to move in and more are coming.
As of a few weeks ago, cash home buyers in our area had Texas, mainly Houston people and Asian as the # 1 buyers.

You are right about the city.
There are parts of the city that are nice though, but none of us can afford to live there. High property taxes.
Where the growth and prosperity is in the surrounding counties.
It amazes me how Latino kids are out of control and it makes perfect sense because their parents don’t care...so much so they travel thousands of miles alone.
