Rate This City: Day 10 - Houston

[feelosofer]

9/10

Hot weather but I don't mind.
Great Black enclaves
Good Nightlife
Great Food
I hear from family it's not a bad place to live.

Gave it a 8.

Great culture, some of the prettiest and thickest women, and good seafood.

Only thing I hate is the weather

the traffic...

 

[Mac Brown]

It’s cool. Just hot as hell most of the time

I haven't been to Houston, but I haven't heard anything bad about it.

The girls from down there tho are

I also like the lax zoning that allows skyscrapers in random places. that's unique to Houston.

Going in January for a few days so I should have a better idea. But I have a friend out there and have heard nothing but good things from people about the city. They got good bbq out there and looks like plenty to do. I'll have to get more info from the citizens when I'm about to go. Houston is probably the only landlocked city I would seriously consider living in. Maybe Vegas but I feel like I need major money to live there just based on the atmosphere. My job has a location there. Seems like a good place to live. It's affordable but prices are rising I'm sure.

I was honestly a bit surprised when I discovered how affordable Vegas was. The only problem is that the job market there is completely horrible compared to other cities.

Yeah Vegas is mad cheap to live in compared to other cities but too many temptations. Gotta be strong there cuz that's a 24/7 party city so always something to do. Fun city to live in and I'm sure people get tired of the crazy lifestyle. Although the whole city isn't just the strip and they have regular places like other cities.

I gave it a 6.

Been once, wasn’t impressed as a Chicagoan

For the 4th largest city the public transit is . City literally just sprawls for miles & miles.


Muggy to the point you can’t even enjoy the outdoors

the women tho

I live here and love the city, but objectively a 6 is fair. The sprawl sucks ass, and if you live in the burbs you're doomed to eithet pay for tollways or taking the long way around. There isn't tons to do here except eat and go to the club. It's more of a working city than fun.
-1 for sprawl
-1 for kinda boring
-1 for poor public transportation + ever increasing toll roads
+1 cause I'm still a proud Houstonian.
I rate us a 7

I have been there and it's probably the only city I have visited that I didn't like.

Aside from the black population and food...the city was not impressive. The layout itself was just way to spread out, flat and the weather is not to my liking. The downtown was dead and they have flying roaches on the streets. Just not my cup of tea. I won't rate it too low because it does have potential and some of my family is from/live in that area.

so a 6

This is the perfect review. Especially the part about being more of a working city than fun

 

[Scientific]

I'll readily admit what drags us down is no real tourist attraction. I hate the hipsters flocking in once they realize that Austin aint shyt, but I'll admit they're writing and recording about the city's culture that the old guard didn't want to appreciate.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

been once but I was 19, tryna go again, shyts fun I would give it an 8 but fukkin hurricane szn down there is no joke so I gotta drop it down to a 7.

The fact that Houston is so big and has no commuter rail system is

It’s cities way smaller than Houston that have better transit systems

 

[reasonable_doubter]
