Review of Houston, Texas


Houston Vs. Dallas?????!?!!!!!
Star Rating - 7/3/2011
Ok, I have lived in Houston all my life and I've only been through Dallas twice so far. Despite how muggy, swampy, hazy and flat Houston is, I would definitely live there because well Dallas has a lot of crime issues whereas where I live, I see a Memorial Villages police every two minutes. It's such a coincidence because everything weird happens there. Whenever there is a major storm threat in like Arkansas or Tennessee, there is always part of the storm that longly reaches to Dallas, and not to mention the temperature. One day it's 20 degrees and then the next it's 100 degrees. People will have to keep on switching from heater to air conditioner every day. Won't that put risks on pepole's lives since something might go wrong and carbon monoxide might haunt some houses? Houston is more constant than that even though the temp. change from day to night is about the same with Dallas. Dallas gets hotter in the summer AND colder in the winter. That's worse for Dallas year round despite Houston's humidity. Sure everyone knows humidity in Houston is HORRIBLE from May through October and maybe the first of November but after that the first freeze has already settled. Every year icy conditions appear in Dallas which makes it even more dangerous considering the fact Dallas has to be accompanied by Fort Worth which means much worse traffic and more accidents. Icy conditions don't happen a lot in Houston. Sure, snow is rare here but it doesn't snow every 20 years. In 13 years, snow has fallen 4 times (3 of them that didn't melt for the next day) and 4 ice storms. Houston is located near SEVERAL bays with so much variety of fish and even dolphins and Houston has some of the best seafood restaurants. Dallas just falls in the middle of land.
