Not to hijack this thread, but the quote above is absurd and is an example of why Houston fan-boys are a joke.

Google Texas Medical Center, or look it up on Wikipedia. There's pictures every where of the TMC skyline. Youtube even has a video of it.. I probably just mis worded. What I should have said is the TMC covers more land area than Downtown Dallas, and if not more, nearly just as much area as Downtown Dallas.

How can a municipality of 800K NOT have a personality or some sort of "authentic vibe"?

Maybe it's all in where one looks and for how long; a community can take years for one to really understand and appreciate.

Even when you get a ways out of the Twin cities, it's still expensive. Twin cities are great but, you can keep the home prices.
It is also the only city worth living in of those listed.
