The only place Detroit does rank higher than in would be the Delta towns in Mississippi.
Detroit is not last in cost of living.
Detroit is not last in traffic.
Detroit is not last in residents understanding the history of their city.
Detroit is not last in library resources.
Detroit is not last in cultural activities.
Detroit is not last in the quality of universities in its city limits. (FYI: If San Francisco, the dream city on CD, can claim Stanford and Berkley, then Detroit can claim Univ of Michigan.)
This is a somewhat funny and broad thread. People need to research the energy industry and understand what it really is. It is multifaceted and diverse. Energy is a very complex industry that includes everything from production, finance, research, legal, exploration, refining, and IT.
Houston is first and foremost business friendly. Houston isn't a city that is dependent on complete government or unions. It is city that promotes entrepreneurship without restrictions. Houston is not only the energy capital, but it also one of largest ports in the world and with the widening of the panama canal will become larger with greater access to Asia.
Houston went through a massive recession in the 80s and overcame it not by the increase price of oil, but with the city becoming a harbor for immigrants wanting to live the American dream and start their own business. Houston is also a trading hub to Latin America. The market is different. The climate is different. The politics are different. The city demographics are different.
When and if green energy becomes profitable then you will see the current energy companies invest more into and buy up any start ups so they can transition themselves for continued profit and expansion.

Which in turn means, Houston will be fine. Carry on folks.
