Calcasieu is a great place to live but it does get hit by Hurricanes and that is the downside. I live in Sulphur, LA in Calcasieu Parish. There is nothing wrong here  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
