2. Youth — 10 Reasons Why Houston is an Up-and-Coming Destination | Complex

Interesting list...Artsy, Young, Progressive and Rich. Words I would have never associated with Houston before I moved here 10 years ago.

I know a lot of posters here like to duck their heads in the sand and pretend that Houston is the same as it was 20 years ago, but this list is pretty true. There are a TON of young people in the city now, who are literally changing it at breakneck speed. It's not the same city that it was even 5 years ago.

I misunderstood the title. By "destination", I thought visiting destination not living destination.

I agree that Houston is a major living destination, but not too much of a visiting destination (although that continues to grow as well).

now lets get some public transit and fix the 3rd world roads.

Young and rich has always been Houston. It's always been one of the easiest places in the country to hit it big early on.

Progressive..well that's not working so well in the rest of the country, so I would 't go running around happy dancing about that.

Artsy? Ehh..yeah. Texas has a very low local artist population. But it does have great museums that "import."

[GTRdad]

its either happening or not happening

Houston seems to be a pretty good destination for third world escapees and desperate out of state unemployed. The young , rich and artsy I am not so sure about.

You don't know it that well, then. In the Loop at least, it's been that way for years.

Sorry, I stand corrected, it is all rainbows and unicorns ITL, especially around Denver Harbor, along Yellowstone east of 288, third ward, 5th ward, Telephone Rd,....................basically half the inner loop.

+1 Exactly, I like how some of these idiots only think Houston has become a great city in the last 5 years. I also like how the how they love that we have a strong economy(which can be contributed to Texas being a pro business state) and then turn around and praise "progressivism", talk about a oxymoron.
