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

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

Methamphetamine, poverty/crime and cockroaches/scorpions are rampant in Roswell! The climate is DRY & it’s difficult to grow anything but weeds!  More
