Roy C asked: Houston, TX rocks people! I moved down here from the Bronx two years ago and have been loving every minute of it. I never knew that a major city in the US could be so CHEAP. I can afford everything! I am actually considered MIDDLE class in this city. Houston has practically everything NYC has at half the cost! I have never seen a major city where the dominate class is middle class. Usually in major cities you are either rich or poor but in Houston the majority is middle class.
How do you guys do it? How is rent THIS cheap? How do you guys live when you’re selling hot name brand clothes THIS cheap? Why are houses and property here cheap in comparison to NY, LA, Boston, San Fran, etc.?
I have to admit that in NY we were practically trained to **** the south and especially TX, so I never imagined Houston to have the nightlife, culture and amazing resturants that you do. I love the Galleria, the Rice Village, the Museum District, the shops on Montrose and Westheimer!
To all my northern brethern that don’t know: Trust me. H-Town is a growing metropolis. I just hope it doesn’t turn into another expensive major city in the future.
Alright. Lemon! You’re right, most people complain about Houston but I don’t. I actually think that Houston is AHEAD of a lot of cities in several ways. The thing is about Houston is that its NOT a flashy town, and you have to create your own nightlife. Nothing comes to you or is in your face like NYC or LA. Everything is word of mouth, from resturants, to fashion, to clubs and bars and even social events. I like it this way because nothing gets too mainstream and it leaves in underground for the people that truly like that particular thing. Most people that complain about Houston usually live out in the suburbs and never go into Midtown/Downtown where all the action is. They also expect things to fall into their lap and do not explore the city.
