Top 3 CA cities vs 3 Texas Cities (America, parks, living, downtown)

Plus, it has the reputation of being a very liberal city (which isn't necessarily the case) which makes it even more appealing to everybody but those from Bakersfield.

To a Texan, it is overrated. It's a bit too much of a been-there-done-that kind of city. It's easy to outgrow. We like to visit it for concerts and festivals and to make use of the outdoors there, but living there is... well... meh.

As far as my choices about the cities, I really like them all but I think I would become the most bored in Sacramento. Then again, it's also the city I have the least experience with. The only time I have ever been there I was nine. Outside of that, my only other experience with it (and I'm about to date myself here) was from the tv show Eight Is Enough.

San Fran is the best of all the cities but don't count SA out. I know it is in last place but the hoods there remind me more of LA then any other city in Texas and there are tons of Cali s that have move to SA. Corpus Chrisiti reminds me of San Diego. Austin is definitely the most overrated of both states.

San Fran
Houston is LA without the mountains

Houston is L.A but Houston has humidity, less nightlife and no mountains?

And a lower cost of living...
And a lot less pretentiousness...
And maybe even more trees/greenery...

Agreed, you can also add a little less liberal, less peristrians and different weather conditons.
