I do think people here are too negative to Florida and I don't have any interest in even going there. I don't handle heat well and much of it looks a bit too crime-ridden to me. Still I suspect it has lovely places and it has lots of interesting wildlife. And they play jai lai if Miami Vice's opening credits are to be believed

People move to Houston for one reason. Jobs/Money. It ain't for the quality of the city. But keep rationalizing it.

It's amazing that you've talked to that many people to know that. How did you do it?

Houston has some of the best city amenities in the country and there are some pretty areas too.

The ammenities you get for your money in Houston are hard to beat.

There's a reason it's a bargain.

Hey, pipe down, you whippersnapper! I'm trying to watch my Golden Girls and drink my prune juice so I can properly digest my early bird special dinner!

I second the Dayton and Columbus, Ohio votes.
