Lake Jackson is an okayish place to grow up, but it is absolutely deadly for an adult. There's nothing there except chemical companies, cattle, and prison farms.   More

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
