Actually it would be more like Dallas. Rice Military isn't particularly unique. Baton Rouge has its own hip urban hoods in Beauregard Town, Spanish Town, Capital Heights, Southdowns, and the Garden District. Government St is your Washington Ave.
Please elaborate.
And westheimer? Post Oak? Or Fannin? What neighborhood in BR looks like Rice Military since it's not particularly unique? Because none of those neighborhoods you named look much different from any hoods throughout the entire gulf coast. My point is, to say Houston is like a bigger Baton Rouge is just as ignorant as saying Dallas is like a bigger Oklahoma City.

If you did, you wouldn't say foolish things like Houston is more like Louisiana than it is like the rest of the state regardless of who you usually hang out with in Houston or not.
People are really starting to oversell this. Parts of Houston will remind you of BR. Many parts of Houston will not remind you of BR at all. I do agree that Houston is not as urban as Baltimore. The inner loop density of Houston is only above 5,175 ppsm as of 2015. Nobody will ever disagree with you on that. It and Atlanta saw their greatest developments in the WW2 era. Houston however is not short of amenities that Baltimore has. In fact, it beats Baltimore in that. But this isn't about Baltimore.

Rice Military looks more like The Heights (townhomes), so I agree that it's not "unique." On The Heights, I'd read an article that said many Louisianans were/are attracted to The Heights because it reminds them of Louisiana.
Honestly, I don't get why people are getting upset over people's opinions that Houston looks like Louisiana. I mean, it's not a bad thing, and the city and metro are not far from the border; it's only natural that the city will share appearances with Louisiana. If the states' welcome signs weren't present, then you wouldn't even know you were in Texas until like the Brazos River.
Again, I'm with you on the similarities between Houston and Baton Rouge. Metairie and Kenner look like Houston too. The I-12 corridor looks like the northside in Houston and like a smaller I-10 corridor with the pine trees and commercial areas along the interstate. Also, these same areas have that similar "grit" feel that Houston has.
I agree with the poster who said that Houston and New Orleans are subsets of each other; it's like they share cultures. Most of the stuff you see in New Orleans, you will see in Houston albeit on a smaller scale. Many clubs and daiquiri shops have second lines, social shakedowns, and block parties on Sundays here. How I know? I've attended a few and get emails about them.
There are many articles on how New Orleans is digging deeper into Houston's food scene.
You based your comment on the point that is factual, not opinionated.
Also, Houston looks like Gulf Coastal Louisiana, Gulf Coastal Mississippi, Gulf Coastal Alabama, and Gulf Coastal Florida because Houston is part of Gulf Coastal Texas. But Houston is still Texas through and through even with the connection to Louisiana. And I don't get this you wouldn't know you're in Texas until you get some point west as if once you get to that part of Texas, the remainder of the state will remind one of each other. Amarillo does not look like Dallas which does not look like Permian Basin which does not look like Laredo which does not look like Tyler which does not look like McAllen.
Also, please find me one area in Baton Rouge that looks like this.
These are not town homes either. As I said earlier, as Houston urbanizes, it starts to look less like just a gulf coast city and more like it's own unique thing.

Just because Houston is EVERYTHING I hate about American cities
