Oh yeah? Oh yeah? We have 100 1,000,000 story buildings under construction every hour! So there!

Btw, if you want to judge an urban area by the number of highrise, first of all you lose to Atlanta and second of all, it's not the way to judge the quality of an urban area. It is things like number of shops, how pedestrian and bike-friendly it is, etc. I look at that video posted earlier and it looks like Uptown Houston is built around the car. So it makes it like Buckhead, Perimeter Center, or Cumberland NOT like intown Atlanta. That's fine for an edge city (I live near Cumberland, so not bashing it) but that doesn't make Houston anything special.

I had an employee from Houston before we were acquired and massive layoffs ensued and she said she loved Atlanta much more than Houston. Things like tree canopy and stuff like that.

I'll counter that adoration of Atlanta, and Houston has more trees than you think.

Houston has always had a nice urban vibe. Seems like it would be a good place to live.

I like Houston, too. Except for the mid-summer humidity, I think it's very nice! Good arts scene, good restaurants, lots of green space (more parks than Atlanta), close to beaches, great healthcare, amazing economy. What's not to like?

Aside from the constant bloviating, I can't think of a thing.

So much.

I don't want to hate though. If a person likes it, then good. You gotta live somewhere you love.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this type of silliness. But at the same time, I don't want more threads about the town that loves to compare itself to us. So conflicted...
