Review of Houston, Texas


Climate Sucks—No Stars for Houston, Texas
Star Rating - 3/25/2018
Don’t be fooled by the paid PR pros who refer to Houston’s climate as “mild.” That’s not true—86 degrees with 92% humidity is brutally hot. And just wait when June, July, August, September, and October hit. Yes, try Trick-or-Treating when it’s 91 degrees at 6 pm. LOL, Houston’s climate is far from mild. It’s hotter than hell with year-round summers punctuated by weakened cold fronts in January that last 22 hours tops. Then the front reverses in the Gulf of Mexico and returns as a tropical wave. It’s either hot or warm and the humidity is so high, you will feel dripping wet 24/7. To stay comfortable, your A/C will run 12 months each year and you won’t be able to go outside for a walk or work in the garden without feeling sticky. The city is flat, ugly and congested. There are way better places to live where there’s an actual quality of life and four real seasons.

Houstonians are the most cocky and unsociable people in America, especially those white collar workers and tough cowboys, as if the extreme lonely nature of the Houston landscape wasn't enough already. They never ever walk anywhere and hate talking to people. Lived in Houston, TX for 22 years. Never want to see that mental place again.

Correct, it's sticky and uncomfortable all year long. I grew up here and my family has spent 3 decades here. Now I'm finally trying to get them all out with an upcoming career transition. I cannot wait. Hoping to go to the mountain west or Southwest. The only thing Houston has going for it is cheap cost of living. It's an unsightly and low class city.
