El Paso has them all beat except in things to do. Houston area is the arm pit of Tejas.

So what does that make El Paso? Little Mexico? |

Several nights each week we just sit on the boardwalk and watch the boats coming in from a days fishing or recreation.
All this in exactly 12 months
Though last month my company moved from Galveston to Houston's Galleria area I will commute it because I dont want to leave here.

I would love to someday live in the Kemah/Clear Lake/League City area near Galveston Bay. |

San Antonio for 1 school year
Austin for college
Canyon Lake for retirement
Loved all 3 and spent 36 years away (mostly in Virginia), wanting to get back to Texas. (Virginia is lovely. It just isn't Texas.)

LOL, sorry if I offended Houston. I hope you can get over it soon.
And El Paso is like little Mexico and still has Houston beat by a mile. Real Mexican food, better weather, mountains, gets less than 10" of rain a yr with no natural disasters, nonderegulated electricity, much cheaper property taxes and the 2nd safest big city in the USA. |

The last place I would deem to be safe would be a border town like El Paso.
Guess you don't read the news much do you?
Mexican drug cartels have taken over those kinds of places. |

Guess you don't get out much. It's Mexico with the problems not El Paso. Houston is hot, humid and stinky, can't argue that. Arm Pit of Texas.
