Houston is a very pleasant surprise

Overnight visitors are often underwhelmed by Houston. But behind our ubiquitous
strip malls and freeways are gorgeous neighborhoods, attractive and affordable custom built homes constructed from the 1960's - 1980's, and even some excellent schools.
The city is viscous w/ diversity and people are warm and friendly. I came for a week three years ago and decided to stay. It wasn't even on my list of places to relocate to. The weather is very pleasant from October - March and hot from April - September.
Plenty of museums and restaurants, two airports, and lots of interesting places to visit w/in a short drive. Its the most affordable US city I've lived in. That's partially due to the sprawl. There is plenty of land for the cuty to expand.
