Overrated city that is falling apart. Home of people that mostly have no clue as to where other places are. Stuck halfway between the civil war and a third world country. Too hot too stuck on thinking it is better than anywhere else. Too busy hating New Yorkers and thinking they all come from the city. Overrun with morons that can't reason. Has good BBQ and a few people that are good but the majority are out for money. The apartment managers are usually slumlords that take pictures of their property at certain angles to make them look appealing. They come together for disasters but at other times will snub you if you are not like them.
Houston is overrated and people expect great things until they get there and are stuck trying to get out.

A bigger version of Dallas. The 4th largest single city in the United States and largest city in Texas. America’s 7th largest metro area. As big as the Houston area is, it isn't even the largest in Texas. Dallas-Ft. Worth is the largest. It’s economy has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing of chemicals and petrochemicals, aeronautics (NASA is headquartered in the city), technology, biotechnology and healthcare and research institutions. It is home to the most Fortune 500 companies outside New York City. It’s numerous high-paying jobs followed by a low cost of liviing makes Houston a very easy city to live in. It is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country and is a classic example of urban sprawl gone ammock, like many Sun Belt cities including its rival, Dallas. Houston saw a surge of New Orleans refugees in September of 2005, after Hurricane Katrina. It is believed that its crime rate (already among the highest in the country) escalated rapidly after receiving the evacuees. Houston is almost an urban hell to live in because it has no zoning regulations whatsoever, thanks to its voters. Not suprisingly, it has the second-worst air pollution in the country after Los Angeles. For a city of such large size, Houston has very abysmal public transportation and just about everybody drives everywhere. The roads are overused, overcrowded, underfunded and in need of repair. Houston has among the youngest populations in the nation,partly due to an influx of immigrants (both legal and illegal) into Texas. It has the third-largest Hispanic and third-largest Mexican population in the United States. An estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants reside in Houston if you can believe it or not. That’s perhaps why the city has such a high crime rate. Houston, although not with a profile like the crowded East Coast cities, has just about everything: professional sports teams from every sport except hockey, museums, a theme park, tons of bars and nightclubs, an active nightlife, and ranks high in the arts. Houston is just damb big all over the place and an urban nightmare if you want to live there. It’s a nice place to visit or conduct business, but you don’t want to live there. Houston, we have a problem.

A crosstown street in Lower Manhattan. Uptown from there it's mostly numbered streets; downtown from there all the streets have individual names. Plus it's pronounced differently than that city in Texas. Epicenter of a giant shopping and historic district, with many loft apartments and stores in cast-iron former factory buildings in SoHo (South of Houston) and lots of small businesses, boutiques, and gentrification in NoHo (North of Houston).
In New York, Houston is proncounced "House-ton," not "Yew-ston."

A big 'ol city with nothing to do. There's no culture. The art scene is a joke. Most of the live music you find is unoriginal and lame. Was the fattest city in the country for a few years. Home town of George W. Bush. Its Six Flags park, Astroworld, is the worste Six Flags park in existance.
They sold their old crappy football team, The Oilers, who then became the Titans and went to the Super Bowl. So they put together another franchise with the most AWESOME name ever, the Houston Texans, who can at least beat the Cowboys.
The biggest industry in the area is oil, the refineries and power plants are an eyesore and make the city one of the cheapest to live in. If it weren't for that, there would be absolutely no reason for the surrounding suburbs to be so rediculously crowded (mostly with Republican tools).
EVERYONE drives, no one walks anywhere, and only Los Angeles has more air polution.
NASA sucks.
