Not the greatest city

I think the heat has to do with the bulk of these negative posts. I personally don't care for Houston either but I have been able to make it tolerable.
The heat is unbearable and there are no change of seasons here. There is only summer and spring. Houston gets a lot of rain so it floods regularly. Also there are constant threats of hurricanes.
Traffic is horrible. Public transportation is expensive and the light rail only runs near town (what a joke). Even on weekends, traffic is like rush hour.
Houston is very diverse but obviously Hispanics seem like they out number everyone. There must be something in the water or floating in the wind because Houstonians are pretty stupid and lack common sense.
On the plus side, homes are very affordable and there are some very nice restaurants. No income tax is a plus. At least Houston is better than Dallas but that ain't saying much.
Anyone thinking from moving from the East coast to Texas, you might want to rethink that.
Also, Houston residents, even though Texas is in the south.. this is not a southern state.
