Do you prefer extreme heat to extreme cold, or vice versa?
Neither city is particularly "urban" in that the majority of the housing is detached, single-family houses with yards. There are a few dense neighborhoods with apartments buildings, but they are the exception, not the rule.
Both cities have very good cultural amenities. I always found the nightlife in Minneapolis a bit dull, but that's because I was comparing it to much larger cities, like Chicago or New York.
I think the biggest difference is the culture. Minneapolitans are extremely civic-minded; Houstonians are much more laissez faire.
I'm gonna go with Houston on this believe it or not... I couldn't deal with the weather in Minneapolis, plus its extremely landlocked... I need to be by some water..
