If it's only about growth, then why isn't Atlanta on there?

Likewise, why are L.A. and NYC ranked so high? They haven't had much growth.

Anyway, it's a good sign Houston is at the top of this list. Some people can never be positive here. If Austin was at the top of the list, we'd have to hear about it for the next three years and their PR bureau would probably have it all over the front page of everything.

And then there is the naive.. who cant seem to see facts and almost insist that Houston deserves to be this amazing city it isn't. And then they go and blame it on people because we dont see the all the positive no matter how infinitesimally small it may be.

Guess it is good to have a balance

Don't know a good 'til you loose it. Maybe you should move to Detroit, Cleveland or Little Rock for a year, and then see what you think about Houston.

Once you finish your studies and move out on your own, you may find Houston is a better city than you give it credit for.

Ain't that the truth! I'll try to be the bearer of bad news about Houston next time. Maybe that way I'll get a more positive response.
