If you enjoy these videos I would love to hear about it. We look at the best and worst cities, states, towns, and neighborhoods in the United States. Occasionally we do other countries. Most of the time focus on the negative side of locations. That is just what people want to see.
If you only want some happy positive information about a city, town, or state, I would suggest looking up local mortgage and real estate companies or maybe the locations website. They are trying to sell you something so it will be nothing but sunshine, rainbows, and a bunch of smoke up your skirt. They won't tell you about crime, poverty, or insurance you'll need because of natural disasters. I will.

Coming from a Houstonian, just remember the 4-H’s:

1. Heat
2. Humidity
3. Hurricanes
4. Homicides

[thomaslong]

Houston has no zoning laws. I can show you a middle school, a house where you get get psychic readings, and a skyscraper. All on the same block.

[chrisparker]

Houston floods a lot. Not just hurricanes or tropical storms, but a common thunderstorm will flood Houston.

[williedynamite]

Been seeing some guy on youtube steal your content for a while now...same lists same points everything except the delivery, charisma, personality and talent. Glad to see u address it in some way.

I moved from El Paso to Houston, 4 years ago. Here are the things I don’t like

1. City planning, I don’t get the loop thing.
2. Humidity is so annoying in summer
3. Driving 30+ min to go anywhere
4. People drive so bad in here, limit is 60 but you have to go like 80 because people are just right behind you if you drive at normal speed.

I moved down to Houston from New England 10 years ago. I loved it at first because it was new and exciting. There are advantages and disadvantages of living in any metro area in the world. But I have to say one that that has stayed consistently positive with Houston is its people. They are mostly friendly and genuinely nice for the most part. I can’t say that for the people in New England. The restaurants and service industry in Houston is like no other. I’ve been all over the world and it’s hard to compare. Yes, the heat/ humidity is ridiculous and the flooding issues are out of control along with poor roadways and erratic drivers. 😑 But, everything is up to the interpretation. Everyone is different. As for me though, I’ve enjoyed my time here but I plan on moving away in the next few years.

I moved out of Houston after living there 20 years. Swampy, humid, hot, mosquitos, traffic, high property taxes (city rips you off), smog, never ending road construction and rainy. Moved out of the state.

[lisahilton]

Good coverage. Grew up in Houston and must say the property taxes, crime, over-crowding, and weather issues (flooding!) are a huge concern. Really sad to see what happened to my city. Houston used to be a pretty cool "town". Now, over-crowding, traffic, and crime are real issues. I hesitate to tell anyone to move to H-town. Regardless, where ever I go, Houston will always hold a place in my heart. If I do leave, likely to just leave the country.

[teddymartinii]

My whole family lives in Houston -- not me. You pretty much nailed it. The heat problem is really more about the combination of heat and stifling humidity. If you wear glasses, and walk outdoors from an air conditioned building, don't be surprised if your glasses fog up. It happens. The price of a house in the burbs is very low, compared to Dallas or Austin. Pollution is really bad in Southeast Houston, but in the wooded Northern burbs, it is not bad. Houston is definitely the center of the US oil industry -- for better and for worse. Lots of good food to be had in Houston!

[FearStop]

Lived here my entire 42 years on this earth. Hopefully not for too much longer (by moving, not ceasing to live). Been elsewhere for small periods; helped me realize how much hate it here. And for those who say “well, just move”. Not always that easy, especially with family and work concerns.

Some thoughts:

The reason why there are so many accidents? It’s because people drive like assholes. Everyone’s always in a hurry, seem to be allergic to using turn signals, and running red lights seems to be a competitive sport.

Amen to the bugs.

Weather is horrible. We have Summer, and Summer Jr. No autumn. You know how most places, during the fall, the leaves change colors spectacularly? Not here. One moment their green, then the leaves say “f*ck it, fam, I’m out” then die and turn gray.

Pollution is horrible. The air quality is getting to the point where I can’t really breathe anymore outside.

Everything looks the same; bland, boring, and ugly.

Used to be homeless, actually. Thank God I was able to pull myself out of that. There is no real assistance if you fall into a hole; that’s true of most places, but made worse here due to decades of corrupt city management leading to budget issues.

Amen to the crime.

Humidity and the Traffic on Katy freeway SUCKS !

[joannekaiman]

I totally agree with you about Houston 100%. My husband and I our car and apartment broke into on the same day.

[crazeyjoe]

Many neighborhoods in Houston for some reason is lacking of sidewalks???

[yankeespringer]

Lived in Houston 30 years. Was hit EIGHT times by other drivers while driving within the traffic laws... My wife and I were rear-ended TWICE in FIVE days in two different parts of the city. Finally woke up and moved 3 hours away and have never been happier. Saved nearly $1000 per month in living expenses when we moved and quality of life went up.

[thenobleone-]

Being poor sucks I lost so many jobs in Houston. But I did grow up there

[michaelcarlin]

I lived here most of my adult life. I NEVER GOT used to the heat. And I contracted West Nile Virus which almost killed me. I no longer live there.

[Kirkvanhouten]

If you like a completely flat urban sprawl of concrete and glass ..that's hotter than the mouth of Hades for more than 6 months out of the year..that fills up like a bathtub when it rains..well, Houston is your dream destination. I left there for Oregon 24 years ago. I have been breathing nothing but smoke for the last week, but I would rather have that than spend 10 seconds in Houston. The only thing good about it is the food.

[Severd]

I hate driving in Texas period. I mean, unless I'm out in the country areas. The freeways are a joke. The Houston and Dallas areas are insane. As well as Galveston.

[RogueNinjaChef]

Not only is it hot, it's a very humid swamp a** HOT. It's like living in a swamp without actually living in a swamp! Electricity costs a lot during the summer months because of having to use AC. It FLOODS easily! If you move here and buy a home, make sure to look at the flood plain situation and purchase flood insurance (especially if you live south of I-10, but flooding can happen anywhere in town). I can't stress that enough. A lot of people got screwed during Hurricane Harvey. Also, in some areas, it doesn't take much to flood due to poor drainage etc (don't need anything as bombastic as a hurricane to cause problems). Too much traffic! LA may be worse, but we aren't too far behind and things are getting worse. If you live in the suburbs like the Woodlands, be prepared for a commute to downtown or the Galleria. I would move outta here if I could, but I'm stuck here for various reasons.

[PsychologyxSpirituality]

The majority of people who 'live' in Houston, live in the outer surburbs where most of these aspects don't apply (crime, air quality, school districts, homelessness). As far as heat, yea you either get used to it or leave lol
