Everywhere in Texas is hot in the summer. In fact, Austin and Dallas are usually even hotter than Houston. Houston must be the most underrated large city in the country. It's amazing the negative exaggerations I hear people saying about it. I just don't get it. Many of them even live elsewhere within the state of Texas! Thank God I didn't listen, because I've had a blast since moving to Houston several years ago. Houston: - Ranks in the top 4-6 ranked restaurant scenes in the country (don't believe me, look it up) - Has a wonderful Museum District and ranks 3rd in the US in amount of fine arts museums space - Has a Theater District second in size only to NYC's Broadway - Is one of only a handful of US cities with permanent symphony, opera, theater and ballet - Has pro-sports - Has good job market - Has great diversity and an international atmosphere - Has nice weather 8 months out of the year ... and all available for a reasonable cost of living. Are there things Houston could improve on? Sure! But wow, it sure is a lot better than people give it credit for. Anyone who is on the fence about Houston needs to take a second look (and maybe the city needs to hire a good PR firm, because the rest of the country and even the state sure do seem uninformed!)
