Houston vs. Chicago
Houston or Chicago?
I just though that since these two cities are compared alot and both have quite a few similarities, I want to do a poll.

There was already a thread on this.. it had about 300+ replies.
Personally I would go with Chicago, because I don't know much about Houston (except for humidity). And despite having a lot of trees (I've been told), Houston does have a pollution problem (I'm not sure, but I think it's on par with LA). Chicago has better public transit.
However, I would like to visit Houston one day.

I think they're comparable in size only. That's it. |

Why are we doing this again? Shouldn't there be a rule about having two threads about the two same cities open at the same time?

For what its worth, Houston is decent, but I dont know why people try and compare it to Chicago, theyre not even close. I think you all know which Id choose. |

I'm really not trying to start anything because I love Chicago, but why is it the obvious choice? Is it because Houston is hot? Because it sprawls? If so, what does that have to do with the people here, and the things to do? Houston is not a decent city. It's a great city that has a lot of what Chicago has, just in a different form. We have just as many races of people and cultures, if not more. I agree Houston could be better, but so could Chicago, really. There a lot of things, in fact, too many things about this city that the common person knows nothing about. Simply because of the fact that we are not glamourized on film and television.

I've never been to Chicago, but I have to say, what seems to get lost in these discussions is the fact that a large part of what makes a city is its people. Sprawl and skyscrapers aside, Houston trumps a lot of cities I've visited in that regard.
