The real Houston
Over 4 years ago

I moved to Houston from the San Francisco Bay area in 1991 after college but I have always had family here. Houston is not what you think of when you think of Texas  More

Not a great place

There's definitely lots of jobs/economic opportunity. It's quite racially diverse if that's your thing. Houston has awful urban sprawl. Expect awful traffic. Hot as hell  More

Great museums, lots of history
Over 3 years ago

Visited on and off over the years. It is actually green in the surrounding areas, right in town it lacks good green planning. Being so close to Carson and Tahoe,  More

Not a good place to live
Over 4 years ago

I'd give Carson City a zero if I could. Simply, there's nothing to do here except drink and gamble. Sure, Tahoe seems close, but the vibrant part is about 40 minutes  More

Wonderful to Raise Children and Retire
Over 8 years ago

Carson City, Nevada is a wonderful place to raise a family and/or retire. We raised our two youngest children here and now we are retired, after moving to CC 21 years  More
