Why Are People ALWAYS Bashing Texas & Houston? (Dallas, San Antonio: lower-class, neighborhood)

[CrissySnow]

This place needs a lot of catching up to do. As a tourist manager I hate it here as well. I get letters and emails everyday telling me this is the worse city ever. You should read this e-mail I got I laughed till I died but the girl had a point.

I think this "CrissySnow" is just trying to stir up the Houston people. I think she should be ignored.

They funny thing is, no one in Houston cares. We never have. We know what we've got...and thanks to the news, so does most of America now.

And after reading this, I think this character started the ''dudu'' chain letter.

I am just saying that i think her post is a bunch of made up garbage and should be ignored. Why would you think i would be the one to write the email?

I love Texas, although I prefer smaller towns, Houston is pretty good, I used to drive a truck coast to coast and I have been to every state in the lower 48 except one (North Dakota).
I live in a small town just south of Houston (but at the end of the month I am moving up to the panhandle near Lubbock) and I don't visit Houston often, but when I need something, I know I can find it there.
In my years of covering the country over the road, I have found that there is something good in every state, and good people in each.
Although I was robbed at gunpoint twice in Bronx NY, I also met some really great people there.

I see a ton of bashing of the Northeast on the Texan forums. Not to mention the bashing of Californians! So many hypocritical people.

These certain people always complain about people bashing Texas, yet they can go on and group all Northerners/Californians as stuck up, rude, and pampered. Perhaps they should visit the Northeast and California. The people aren't overly friendly, but they aren't rude. People are generally the same everywhere. You can find rude people, kind people, nice people all over the U.S.
