Born and raised in Houston in the 70s and 80s. Houston is so many things that outsiders don't understand. First, its a boomtown. It's THE city in the world to chase your dreams and try to make your fortune. It's a Texan city with a fierce sense of independence. But it's also the friendliest big city in the world. When my wife and I moved back there in 1993 all our surrounding neighbors in Sugar Land brought us food to welcome us to the neighborhood. Houston is pickup trucks and BMWs. It's freeways. It's totally Texas while being totally global. The rodeo is an annual event that schoolkids learn about and participate in and it consumes everyone's lives for a brief but unifying period. Houston is a celebrity mattress salesman and the shortest player in Major League Baseball. It's Hakeem Olajuwon from Nigeria. Houston's Vietnamese community is enormous and vibrant. The food, oh my lord, the food! From Tex-Mex to brisket to gulf seafood to Cajun. It boasts more Whataburgers than anywhere else in the Lone Star State. It's ZZ Top and Clint Black and Beyoncé and Chamillionaire. It's Space City. It's cracked sidewalks from shifting Texas gumbo soil. It's being a kid and running around in 97 degree heat with 97 percent humidity and not really realizing it's hot. It's the Astrodome and Judge Roy Hofheinz. Houston is luxurious live oak trees simply dripping with Spanish moss. It's bayous and mosquitos and hurricanes. It's the ship channel and Houston's beloved gulf-sister to the south, Galveston. It's Enron corruption and Dr. Michael DeBakey cancer-treatments. If you don't really, really know Houston you won't get it. But when you do...it's just the best place in the world.

I've lived in Houston all my life. It's not ugly. And it no dirtier than New York, LA, or Miami... Buts it's cheaper to live here. I pay 500$ in rent and I live 10mins from downtown. Good friggin luck visiting/living in a friendlier/diverse culture.

Use to live in Houston. Awesome city! The people are so friendly! Really miss this great city called

I moved here from Cleveland, OH in 1968. It was the smartest decision of my life. I've raised five native Texans here. Having been back to Cleveland recently, I am SO thankful for having had the great sense to make this move. Houston is my home, especially when you consider that, culturally, I'm a true Houstonian. We have the greatest people in the world, here. Our diversity happened the right way; not by government decree, but due to all the economic opportunity here. People came here from all over the world; we worked together, played together, and realized that we really like each other. Houston is the City of the Future, today.

[lillianbowen]

Love Houston, I know people that has immigrated there and after less than a year they already own a home and we are still renting in los angeles. 

[DesertDwight]

I've never been to Houston but there's just something about the city. I hope to visit soon and if I like it I'll move there.

Born and raised in Houston but I lived in Canada for a bit and married a Canadian. Cool to see that Chris Hadfield appreciates and has embraced my home city.

I'm a fourth generation Houstonian (when we retired we moved to Galveston). I have always liked my town, but I never realized there is such a large French speaking population. I appreciate this positive report.

[EvangelistRBColbert]

I moved to Htown in 2012 after living in Seattle for 15 years. I love the cost of Living.

The "Six in the City" taxi information is wrong. $6 taxi for *anywhere* in the 610 Loop? I knew it sounded too good. The $6 special is only for downtown area inside of I-45, I-10 and US 59. That's less than 1/10th the size of the 610 Loop.

Houston Texas is the best dam city in the world

[kilpatrickkirksimmons]

I'm sort of surprised she found so many French speakers in a city so deep in our interior. And in Texas no less.

[fdjw]
