Yes. Probably less. Houstonians try to overhype it, ignoring its history of bigotry. California is its liberal more upscale counterpart.

Houston is my home and I've been in LA for a few years now. I don't think the comparison is far off. Both very large cities, bad traffic, sprawl, smog. Bunch of smaller cities within a large one. Diverse, large Hispanic population. Great food, beautiful women.

Houston definitely more black, thicker women, cheaper COL. Last I checked good economy.

Ways Houston is a poor man's. Less to do. In LA there is always something to do from outdoor recreation, to musical performance, and just random off the wall stuff. Always something going on. And the weather of course. LA's neighborhoods have more substance between them than Houston's IMO. Silver lake is completely different than downtown which is completely different from Santa Monica, but all cool in their own regard. Just a couple things I've noticed but I could go on all day.

houston has waaaaayyy more black people than LA

Miami is the poor man's LA.

 

[El Bombi]

Both Houston & Dallas are trying to be like California.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

Phoenix is more like the poor mans LA

[mannyrs13]

Miami is the poor man's LA.

With the way these prices increasing, poor men definitely can't afford to live here either.

Yeah so liberal they contain tha most white supremacist organizations of any state and their entire history of strict gun control stems from black Panthers legally arming themselves, signed by California's own Ronald Reagan.
