Review of Houston, Texas


Houston
Star Rating - 8/30/2015
I moved to Houston, Tx from the east coast. I have lived in Houston on and off for many years. Houston has it's share of problems. It has poor infrastructure, dirty air, horrific traffic, and it's not pretty. The weather is stifling from July to September. On the positive side, Houston is a hard working city with friendly people. The cost of living is reasonable and you get a lot of house for your money, although property taxes are high. It has a sense of community and it's very charitable. Houston has fantastic restaurants and a Whole Foods Market in every neighborhood. The food choices are without limit. We have a thriving arts district and a phenomenal medical center. We have several parks although outdoor activity is limited compared to other cities It's not a city for fun, it's a city to work. Being an outdoor person, I prefer to live in a cold climate with mountains. I have read many unfair hateful comments about Houston on this website and felt the need to reply to some of those comments.
