Don't know why it is so important that downtown has to be the most fun.
Wow.

Doesn't have to be just downtown, but one area where people can go for the night and walk the streets.

that is what I am saying. You got it now without putting Houston in my mouth. I can have an opinion without it relating to Houston. I am not from here, was not born here, and from your own words I have been to more places than you.

I have the ability to comment on a place without it being only about Houston.

I spent months going threw city after city in Europe. Cities that are far more compact than NOLA could ever dream off. so please don't lecture me like I don't know anything other than Houston.

Anyway back to the topic. Like I said it is antiquated to think that all the fun must be in downtown. The fun can be centralized in other areas. I know of places that have outgrown their downtowns and moved the center to other areas of the city.

so yes, i am talking about one area where the fun is, I didn't like the spread out system. All I am saying is that that one area doesn't have to be downtown. That comment has nothing to do with Houston. It is just my opinion in general.

That's how CD works. The vibrancy of a downtown determines if your city is cool or not.
