If I had to live in the Durty Souf and be around people who acted as if it was my pleasure to live in said Durty Souf, I'd have to pick Houston, simply because there'd be a slightly better chance I'd run into a Northerner or two that could relate with my perspective.
I really like Charlotte, but I would rather live in Houston. To me, much of Charlotte has the same feel that suburban Houston has. I know the two cities are completely different, but in some ways Charlotte seems like a small Houston. Not so much in terms of culture but in the way the city looks. Houston dwarfs Charlotte though.
Houston wins this and its not even close. I have a hard time even considering Charlotte a "major city". Its a bore. Might as well be El Paso or some other boring town with a "high" population.
Houston, on the other hand, is just a great city all-around. Warm weather, awesome nightlife, and believe it or not, they have some of the hottest chicks in the country outside of SoCal, SoFla, and Phoenix-Scottsdale. The economy in Houston is much larger and much more diversified as well, which is why they didn't get nailed by the financial crisis like Charlotte did.

Yes I have. Both cities are in the 650-750k population range but are both boring as I've stated. Sorry, Charlotte has alot more growing up to do. Like I said, its not even close.
