One of the worst cities to live in
-

Houston may have been a great place during the oil boom of the eighties, but we lived there for six years and it totally stunk. I never met so many backward pushy a*holes in my life. The city has no culture, poor infrastructure, unless you count medical. With the dirty air, and all the deep fried this and that, people in the medical field have job security. Most everyone has entitlement issues, lots of blank faced idiots riding around in pick-up trucks, girls start having kids in high school. Obviously, all those holier than thou baptists didn't have much influence on them. I liked the immigrants much better than the arrogant local yah hoos, and there was some good ethnic food to be found. Having lived in LA before, the culture shock was almost overwhelming. I didn't get anything about that awful place. Texas is like a giant white trash trailer park. Even people with money lacked class. It's more like the worst parts of the south with none of the good qualities. Humidity was horrible, bugs and mosquitos were everywhere. I did meet friends who had come from more advanced areas, and we banded together out of necessity. What a place..
