In terms of healthy living and value of life, hands down it is Minneapolis. Minneapolis is considerably better in terms of education, crime, cleanliness, job availibility, etc. The metro area of the Twin Cities is consistently rated as the healthiest, smartest, and most intellectual in the United States.
When it comes to weather, the two both offer extremes. Either really cold in the winter, or really hot in the summer.
I think they both lie on the same Parallel however.
I'm actually surprised that a Southern city is actually winning, both are magnificent places to live but it's good to see the South win something for once.
Houston because of the better climate, very modern, close to the Gulf of Mexico and a lot of cities such as New Orleans , Dallas, etc.
Yeah, Minneapolis isn't modern at all.
I'd rather be 6 hours from Chicago than 5 hours from New Orleans.

When you state some water, are referring to an ocean basin? Seriously, last time I checked there is plenty of water within the Twin Cities area.
Houston probably wins out in shopping but who really cares?
BTW, what's the point in trying to compare these two (Minneapolis - 382,000; Houston 2.2 million)? Houston should be compared to the likes of Chicago. Oh wait a minute. That wouldn't work out so well.

I never said Minneapolis wasn't modern.
Well let me be 5 hours from the beautiful city of New Orleans, if I wanted to live close to Chicago I'd live in the Chicago Metro.
I really like Chicago but what does it have that Houston doesn't, a Sears Tower?

Touchy.
Isn't comparing cities what the city vs city forum is for?
