Review of Houston, Texas


DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!
Star Rating - 5/14/2011
Houston TX is the worst place to live in the America. You will not find a job here unless you know someone in the oil industry. Every other block is the hood and you better drive through fast with your windows up and your doors locked. The apartments are over run with bad children who break your windows with their balls, curse each other out all night while you're trying to sleep (that's when they take a break from harassing people and breaking into cars) and the managers of these complex do nothing but tell you what you want to hear until your lease is up and you move. It's insane. You can't get anywhere if you don't hav a care. If you do, you'll have to take the freeway every and spend at least an hour in traffic. Trust me, this is not the place to be and all of those magazines that tell you other wise are full of sh*t! I made the mistake of moving here from NY and I regret it down to the very core of my soul. This place is hell and I can't wait to go back home. It may be cost an arm and a leg but it's nothing compare to the headaches that I deal with each and every day living in this hell hole. Take my advice. DO NOT MOVE TO HOUSTON!!! If you do, stay north or west!!! South (unless you're in Sugarland) and East is filled with nothing but criminals, drug dealers and future inmates!! Run and do not look back.

Sweetheart, please! These areas are not filled with criminals. In fact, criminals reside in every area; except that some commit crime in such skillful ways that nobody finds them out. There is nothing wrong with living here in Houston other than the unpredictable weather and the mosquitoes. The way people raise their children is nothing that should matter to you, let alone bother you. For all you know, these folks could be going through a rough time. No need to be so harsh on our beloved Energy Capitol. HOU opened up its arms to welcome you, and it will to the same so you can be free to leave.

I agree with Nikki.

Another true post. They don't seem to know how to raise their children here. Another sign of less intelligence.
