Please add the high crime, the political corruption, the lack of street repairs, the road/freeway construction that seems to never end, toll roads to get anywhere across the metro, the angry entitled people, the high costs of living, taxes, flooding, jobs that suck your soul from you just to name a few.

I can do hot. I can even do cold.
But when you breathe in the air and you wonder if this is what it must feel like to be drowning - it's too humid.

You forgot about the crime. Out of control. My high school buddy moved there and opened a Subway shop. Before he knew it, he had a gun to his head. They sold and got the hell out.

As a native Houstonian is the traffic, weather, crime. It’s not only the heat, but if it rains hard you’re stuck getting home from work. Don’t get me started on the road rage shootings also.

I left last year and I don’t need to take my anti depressants any more 😅

Because Houston was built on a swamp we are prone to flooding. Also our energy grid is GARBAGE! Heavy rain you are without power for hours if not days. Dont get me started on traffic. I don’t drive on the highways between 2-7. 610 headed towards the Galleria is miserable no matter what time.

Average home in Houston now is constructed of particle board with NO insulation. Your AC will cost you $400/month. The city itself is a crime riddled ghetto.

I escaped when I joined the service in 2000 and will never live in Houston again.

I stayed in Houston for 2 wks recently and found that Houston is a Texas version of LA, with a bad weather. I then flew to NYC, just in time to miss Beryl, and it was a relief. It's still more humid here than CA, but I can at least go outside and walk or ride subway. In Houston, you can't even think about going outside in anything other than your car.

The only reason to move to Houston, or Texas for that matter, would be that it is cheaper to live there. If it no longer is, then there is no reason at all.

Lack of Infrastructure and no planning. I am now 63 and have lived here all my life and the City is deteriorating fast.

[tupactargaryen]

As somebody who was born and raised in Houston, I can’t wait to get out of here.
1. Traffic
2. Weather(just got hit with another storm/hurricane, millions of people with no power) hot and humid and miserable for most of the year
3. Cost of living/housing is no longer affordable
4. Terrible drivers most of whom don’t have insurance(you know how many times hit by somebody who didn’t have insurance)
5. Smog and pollution(not good for people with asthma, allergies or breathing problems)
6. Crime
7. Living in red state
8. Sprawl, you have to drive to do ANYTHING in this city.
9. Too many women.
10. Too many Homeless & people begging for money on the street corners.

Houstonian here. The city has basically no redeeming qualities. No beauty, no pretty beaches, no mountains, just cement, cars and corporations.

[donnegron]

In Houston 7 out of 10 drivers do not have a valid car insurance. Even if not your fault, you’re screwed if you’re involved in a car accident.

[triggertimetraining]

I’m all for people not moving to Houston and more importantly leaving Houston. That won’t fix the weather but will sure help on the traffic.

[JFK_DOMESHOT]

When I lived in rural Texas the grocery store was 30 miles away. Now I’m in Houston and the grocery store is 5 miles away but still takes just as long to get there. There is no convenience here only traffic.

I Live in Conroe, close enough to enjoy what Houston has to offer; great food / restaurants, shopping, events, sports, but far enough that I don't have to deal with the negatives; crime, traffic, noise, taxes, property taxes.

[MinLeeMajors]

I was here as a child...moved to California for 20 years...and came back. People drive like idiots...they cut you off, ride your tails, make right turns from the left lane, zip in and out of traffic ( as though that makes you arrive to your destination faster) ....every 3 or 4 cars has a dent in the side or back and yet people STILL won't learn. All the police would have to do is start pulling people over but I guess they don't care until someone crashes...then they show up.

[LocFitnessMama]

Thank you for helping convince more people to leave. That will dramatically reduce the traffic. 👏🏽

Houston was awesome in the 80s and 90s. After 2000 its been circling the drain.

I live in Webster, work from a shop in Kemah and drive hotshot delivery in half ton truck every day, for myself, I'm used to it, (use EZ Tag and planning) and I like paying $200 monthly ac / light bills for my 3 bedroom house in the dead of summer, no income tax and $3.00 gallon gas while paying my $1, 200 month mortgage, huge backyard and no neighbors behind me, relatively low social rioting BS to deal with, Houston is in a bubble because we work, we don't get the rest of the nation's BS. Yes the roads and crime are dangerous, yes I'm aware I'm playing the shooting lottery everyday. Take the highroad, let the guy go ahead of you, don't cut people off, be a courteous driver. It's survival.

And we have the best food! So what if I'm dripping sweat at 5:30 AM while I'm loading equipment, my wife and I have raised a successful 24 year old son here, he's about to go to Med School. Houston made that possible.
