Houston, conversely, is not dense. Parts of it are built on a hard grid. Parts of it are sprawling webs of car-centered suburbs. Houses are not densely built togetherYou have abundant spaces of undeveloped land and huge lots taken up by tiny little bungalows. The difference is night and day, no where near as dense as LA and really is nothing like LA at all.
I will say that this type of development is no longer happening in the inner loop of Houston.
I just met a girl who just moved to LA from DC. She's already overwhelmed by LA's size and scale. I doubt that would be true for Houston. And I don't care if Houston stretches for 600 sq miles. Most of it's low density suburban areas. I'm talking about dense miles and miles that never seems to end. That's LA.
Lol. Too bad downtown Houston is probably boring as hell. I bet there's more pedestrians on Broadway than all of downtown Houston and Uptown combined every day. Enjoy the skylines. Like that really means anything.
Century City has a nice skyline. It's boring. Skylines don't make anything interesting on their own buddy.
So in other words, Houston is a great city to observe as you fly by on your plane flight to LA
No
Houston is a great alternative if you don't like the high COL, terrible economy, traffic, & over population (especially illegals) LA has.
Think of it as LA without the mountains, earthquakes, mudslides, grass fires, rocky coast, & attitude.
