I don't know what it's like to be afraid to go out
Over 13 years ago

I can honestly say that there aren't any bad neighborhoods here. I frequently walk to work before sunrise or after sunset, and no one has ever bothered me in the least.  More

Layton- Close to Everything, Literally!
Over 16 years ago

I really love Layton. I moved here because my husband is a US Marine and received orders to Hill AFB on independent duty. Layton is close to everything you could want  More

The real Houston

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
