I'm proud of Houston, but sad to read the news.

What's sad is out of 100, North America's fastest growing city is only 40th. As a nation we can do so much better....

Houston is on an incredible rise. I was driving around The Woodlands, the Galleria, and Midtown and was amazed at how much building is happening. I have fallen in love with this city. Makes me proud to call myself a native Houstonian. Now all we need is a good baseball team.

I'd say all we need now are better roads. The city streets, especially in the inner city just plain suck; it is embarassing to bring in out of town guests and have to drive through many of the neighborhood streets.

You know what I find surprising is that some of the richest parts of Houston have the worst streets. Over by the Medical Center, the streets are unbearable. Galleria area and Museum District are just as bad.

Downtown is rebuilding the streets. I walk past the construction ever day.

Where in downtown? I see the work along Bagby, but that is a seperate project to beautify Bagby. 'Is looking great, BTW.

How did they actually evaluate the ranking? Macau No.1? Jakarta in the Top 5? Seriously?
