Houston gets a bad rap, but it is decent for a tier 4 or 5 city.
It's higher than a tier 5. I can see tier 4 if your tiers are:
Tier 1: NYC
Tier 2: LA, Chicago
Tier 3: SF and DC
Tier 4: Houston, Philly, Boston, DFW, Atlanta, Miami
I do believe economically, Houston has the best chance to jump into the next tier out of the tier 4 cities.

I think Houston is already in Tier 3... in my opinion the tiers go as such.
Tier 1: NYC
Tier 2: LA, Chicago
Tier 3: SF, DC, Houston, Philly, Boston
Tier 4: Dallas/FW, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle etc. etc.
Other than people on CD, I never hear anybody here say that they love living in Houston. Houston is OK. It is not terrible (except for the heat), and it is not wonderful. As far as QOL and things to do it is not up there with the big boys yet.
I know several people in real life there who say they love it, but a lot of them live in what's considered the great neighborhoods. I also know people who have moved away from it and say they really miss it. I always have a great time when I go.

I've also heard people say, IRL, that they love living here. Not only that, but glad to either have moved to Houston, or to have moved BACK to Houston.

Every place has people that love it, like it, think it's okay, dislike it or hate it. No place in the world is an exception to this.
I will say Houston. Still fill like this city does not get any respect on CD.
It does and it doesnt care. Its a city that works and can be lived in. I also think the city includes more than just down town. CD posters seem overly focused on DT. Cost of living is part of my reality, Disney land type cities dont appeal to me nor high cost of living (real estate priced out of the most workers range) cities. I am looking for a city I can live in and afford to do the thing I like while living in residence I enjoy. Houston and Dallas both fit that to a T not NYC or LA or SF. Priced themselves out of the market for a city to live in or visit for most.
The dislike of fossil fuels and dirty look of ports puts off those wondering which cities celebs live in or which city has the most tourist. The widening of the Panama Canal is going to be a boon to a big port city like Houston in trade with Asia to the detriment of high cost ports on the west coast. So hang on folks....Houston is coming on strong.
500-1kppsm; UA is meaningless, at that density Philly's UA goes on forever. 3kppsm should he the threshold, and even that is fairly diluted, but gives a much more accurate picture of the real connected urban(ish) built environment. That would reduce every cities numbers considerably, Philly's UA would be somewhere around 4mil.
