Review of Houston, Texas


Please someone give me a straight honest answer ab
Star Rating - 5/22/2008
I've visited Houston and do not understand the comparison between Dallas and Houston. I looked everywhere in Houston and was not impressed. From overrated Sugarland to Katy, up to the Woodlands and everything in between. When I drove down the roads, there was more trash. The roads look like crap, all crumbling. I goto Dallas and everywhere you have sidewalks, cement roads, grassy medians, Houston doesn't. Houston, all I saw were run down shopping centers, next to new subdivisions, then trailor parks to that. whats with all the ugly electric lines everywhere? The people were more laid back but seemed more trashy. A lot more blue collar. I didn't feel safe in Houston, the demeanor of people was questionable. Can someone explain how Houston and Dallas are so much alike? I sure didn't see it. From what I saw, Houston is a lot more run down, poor zoning, horrible curb appeal. Someone tell me what I'm missing? Isn't Houston one of the fattest cities in the US? Worst ozone? Worst traffic? Yeah you can get a cheap house, but what part of town and neighborhood? Someone please explain what the big deal is with Houston? how is it so much better than Dallas? I sure as hell didn't see it? And no, I don't live in Dallas.
