I agree with most points made. Makes sense Dallas would be on the list... but Austin? Sorry, but that's the one that should be taken off (and I can speak as a former resident).

And where you can vote Houston back into the running (you can just vote for Houston... doesn't have to be 5)

I hope we come in dead last. It'll be like the National League Central, just with no baseball involved.

There's not much that resembles baseball when the Astros are involved either. Could be worse. You could have a $50M player that just got suspended for 50 games. (Ramirez in LA)

Then we need Tejada to smash a bat over an umpire's head in a fit of roid rage.

We've got to follow the crowd and be just like LA, you know, for popularity's sake.

I prefer the national media stays in the dark about Houston. Let Austin have the publicity. They can catch all the posers who think moving to another city will make them "cool" and "hip."

Houston flys under the radar & I just love it! Dallas & Austin can have the hipsters, Houston can continue to diversify & draw from other countries keeping its place as a world city.

Yep.

But I just voted for Houston. 12 times.

These magazine rankings are a joke.

You're persistent. I voted for Houston 4 times and then I got bored.

H-Town is too good for that list. Those cities actually tried, we just sit back and watch.
