Well, it's everywhere, but I think there is a lot more variety in the Inner Loop. It's best to live there if that is a priority in your life and space is not.

I'm glad you consider those areas "interesting". News reporters consider them "interesting" too. Stay safe!

I know right---only if "urban" and "interesting" mean getting shanked unexpectedly. No thanks! |

What type of culture are you looking for and if you're looking for culture, where are you looking at? |

Every city has its downsides when it comes to weather(unless if you live like within San Diego).
But the thing I like most about this place, and probably a large reason why a majority of 20somethings, is the job oppurtunities. As a student at UH im very fortunate to be living next to Houston, where the job market for Engineers is better than the rest of the country. Other than that and a few other things, there is very little i like about houston.

I like all the crybabies who bemoan the lack of things to do while sitting behind their computers all day posting comments on City-Data and playing World of Warcraft.

IMO, Houston is #1 city in USA for the poor & the middle class people,natives or immigrants...
A no-contest winner.
For the rich guys,San Diego,LA & Miami would compete...

But that can't be correct, Houston is home to more millionaires per capita than just about any US city. Are you sure you have the right board? |

I checked well.Hou is #1 in affordability,
despite the number of millionaires
it is the most "poor -friendly " big city...
A couple of poor newcomers can live the American Dream...
While SD,LA,MI are clearly "anti-poor"...
