Feel free to add:

-You can't beat the Vietnamese food in this city, and I've been to many a city.

-The richest neighborhoods have the crappiest roads.

-Houston is the least "Texan" city in the state.

-There aren't really any good school districts in the area, but there are some outstanding schools.

-If you are from California, you are correct when you say your schools are far superior to ours (this is because we are still stuck in the industrial mindset while California is preparing the kids for tech).

-NEVER argue with a Joel Osteen follower.

-We have a more diversified economy than most Texas cities, but if oil were to slump everyone would head back to where they came from.

-You can't get really good authentic Mexican food/pastries west of 45.

-People here are friendly, but they will stand up for themselves if you mess with them.

-We have wonderful parks that are quite underrated.

-If you like spending 400 dollars a square foot for what was once some immigrant's shack, look at The Heights.

-Uptown has the most potential out of all the neighborhoods due to location, location, location.

Agree, rip, add or a combination is fine

I disagree with the friendly part. We finally gave up and moved to a small town and haven't found a rude person yet. I know you find what you're looking for....but goodness we were looking so hard for it and had to leave Houston to find it! I think maybe it is the traffic that makes people grumpy. Not sure what else it could be.

Otherwise, I agree with the above. Looking forward to other input as well.

I am really surprised to hear this and I'm sorry you weren't happy. I have always found the people here to be very friendly indeed.
