See thats the difference between Houston and real cities. In a real city I can live in the suburbs and still not need a car. (Cars are definitley more convenient but not a necessity)

All I'm saying is Houston is too different to be compared to most conventional big cities

It's possibly to do it anywhere. But I wouldn't recommend it. It is mostly a nightmare if you must try to get into the city center of Houston.
Oh and yeah, I made it to the Chi and love every second of it. Don't think I'll be going back to DC.

I'll visit because I have family there from time to time. But there's so many reasons why I prefer Chicago to DC that it's laughable. I love DC. But IMO, Chicago is a much more superior city.

YouTube - Going Back to Philly
Is this supposed to be a real song or a joke? What ever it was it was stupid.

Houston's Underground Hip Hop scene smashes Philly's.

This represents every day life in H-town, TEXAS BABY!
