The real Houston
Over 3 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

Review for liberals and conservatives
Over 4 years ago

We just moved to Fairhope from California and absolutely love it! For the most part, it’s like minded common sense conservatives close to the bay and lots of shopping.  More
