I can’t figure out how people who can live anywhere they want would live in Houston. Horrible place.
They probably don’t spend that much time there. But Houston does have some great hospitals.
If someone chose to live in a large city, where in the US would you pick over Houston?
As for most of us, we work in Houston where the jobs are and live out of town.
I guess, like any large city, it depends where you live or work. I have family and friends who all live in lovely areas of Houston.
I start sweating every time I think about going back there. My sister lived there for years. Heat, humidity, traffic...and the Oilers (back then.) Who couldn’t love that. //sarc
Houston is a very good town for work. Only recently has the oil and gas industry been stalling, but Houston has held up better than other major cities during Obama’s destruction. Most people don’t live within the city limits here. It’s not pretty like a tourist town, but the suburbs are nice and the cost of living is much lower than up north. As the other poster said, great hospitals/doctors - truly world class. And good local conservative talk radio hosts.
It is so hot there. So hot. Without air conditioning could anyone live there?
Houston has some of the best medical care in the country. (The Dallas county DA just got back from a couple of months psychiatric lock up there, and she hasn’t had a psychotic episode in over two days.)
If you are in as bad health as HW, Houston makes sense. And the country club membership was already in place.
The suburbs are very nice...down town...not so nice.
I absolutely loved my 13 years in Houston.....of course it was after living in DC for 10 years! I’m one of those who became a Texan in their heart.....would have stayed there when I retired except for the fact that I had no family in TX - all live in the great state of Alabama.....RTR
