Houston doesnt have the scenery of LA or the glamor but feels like a younger LA, even as far as making the same mistakes LA made but fixing it earlier in growth stage
That's the thing though, I never got the feeling that Houston wanted to be glamorous. It always seemed like a place where ordinary people could come with very little money and yet live a comfortable life. I think the city that people went to act glamorous was more Dallas.
The Rich here mainly lived low key lives. the only extravagant resident that pops into my mind was Howard Hughes

Houston feels like the LA 10 miles inland from coast, Houston feels coastal in a shrimp, seafood, oil way not surfers, volleyball, lifeguards type of way. But nothing of Houston reminds me of Atlanta, see more of LA than Atlanta in Houston IMO
The differences are stark Genius, what is wrong with your eyes.
Like I said the historical houses in ATL, though they may be of the same material, the houses look different. The Houses are more similar in SA.
I don't know if it is because SA is more inland, but they were built differently. read more slowly, maybe it will sink in better
You need glasses if you can't see the similarities between many of the historic homes in Atlanta and Houston.
Or is this just you being salty again, and trying to spin things around to make it seem like you're right. Don't be a sore loser, Htown. It's not a good look

yeah, I think the people who voted for ATL did that because they wouldn't even consider Houston being associated with LA.
Some people think saying Houston was built like LA means LA is like Houston, but that is faulty reasoning. LA was big long before Houston so although Houston may have picked up styles from LA doesn't mean they grew up in the same house and are related.
DC may have taken some styles from Paris but that doesn't mean Paris is like DC.

Houston may not have the scenery LA has with its hills & mountains, but don't discount Houston's natural beauty completely. The city is very forested & tropical looking with all of the pine & palm trees.
That said, Houston is forested like ATL with the tropical look of LA.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say you've never been to Houston?

I don't think he meant it that way or was trying to be negative.
besides there are countless heavily forested cities.

Yet, if LA was winning the poll, the results would be very valid, right? So transparent.
