Why in the world is Houston in this? Embarrassing. Yes, Houston is cheap, and you can get a nice house in the burbs for 200k, but you can say that about a lot of cities.
What I love about the path Houston is on right now .. is it really could not care less about what the oher cities are doing, are How people feel about it.. a far cry from the 80.s and 90,s

Good for Houston that it is growing, but I don't think it's being very strategic in its growth or urban planning, which in the long run will hurt I think.

I disagree I think has never paid more attention to its growth and urban planning than it has in the last ten years. which in why in the last ten years a number of urban projects have been launched to adress its growth. The Best part is many of those projects have been put in the hand of the districts themselves as opposed to a hand full of people trying to make a one fit all kind of connection. The plans allow Houston biggest centers to craft designs that work best for them yet still allow connections to Houston as a whole
The medical center:
While not having a center plan, has begun already to address tfuture problems of growth such as housing and How best to connect the other sections of Houston to its core
Downtown:
Long negelected by the cities so called leaders it has finally become the center of their attentioned again, by focusing on Houston low residency problems .. By using tax incentives for construction of living spaces..
Which has already seen one Highrised bulit from it and now are Four being proposed...Plus a growing bar and club scene thanks to young bar owners decdiing to gamble on DT

They are improving on it clearly. Such as the single family ranch style homes are becoming a thing of the past. More multifamily units going up from midrises apartments to high rise apartments, and more public transit. But they are still making some mistakes such as the sidewalk issues and lack of mixed use projects. Some developments, while dense and better use of the land, still build around the car.
If that's true, then why isn't Houston more popular and what does Houston have to do to raise its profile?
Houston as of now is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, if not the fastest. What holds Houston back is its lack of an identity, cultural significance and the cities lack of vision. However, no one can tell me that Houston doesn't have a world class economy.
