Anyway, I think people come to Houston primarily for the jobs and the low cost of living. That's what makes Houston appealing to most people not from Texas who decide to make it their home.

Once we have established this, and we don't try to sell it for what it's not: a beautiful, trendy, culturally diverse, etc city like San Francisco, NY, Miami, etc, then we can talk about what steps can the city take to work on all those aspects. But first people need to recognize the shortcomings, not try to sell it for what is not (as such was the case of the person saying you can have the urban experience for half the price than in NYC).
How long have you been here and not noticed how culturally diverse this city is? And if I'm not mistaken I believe we are well represented in the performing arts as well...

Well, aren't you clever?

But sorry - that doesn't count. The Miami Symphony is a regional orchestra that does not fall into the same categories as the majors such as the NY Phil or Boston & Chicago Symphonies. This isn't a knock at the Miami Symphony (I worked for an excellent regional orchestra at one point in my career) - just wanting to clarify for you that it doesn't fit into the criteria that would make it a world-class orchestra.

Roberto - seriously...what is your point with your thread in the first place?
