Would anyone like to agree/disagree?
I think Miami, and to a somewhat lesser extent St. Louis, gets pretty positive press on City Data.

why would Houston get any praise outside of Houston homers? It has the worst PT of the big 4 in the south, a dead downtown even by Southern standards, has the most brutal summers of the 4, density is nothing to write home about, only thing I would see someone praising it is its GDP and the city being "the most diverse city in the nation" by rice university.

Fits right in there alongside its generic twin, Indy--need anymore be said?

You've all forgotten Pittsburgh, which gets a whole lotta love on here. I'd even go so far as to put it in the "very well-liked" category.

And St. Louis is absent from the second list, too. I'd probably put it in the "gets more hate than praise" category.

For the record, I like Houston very much. Its arts and culinary scene are some of the best in the US and its incredibly diverse.

But the list I made was not based on my own personal preference. It was based on the amount of love/hate I see those cities getting on CD.

Houston is a great city. It's not NYC, or Portland or Seattle. It offers plenty of amenities and can be a great place to live. Houston is at the top of the list of places I would like to live.

It's not Portland??? I realize Houston doesn't have the cult status nor is as pretty as Portland, but Houston offers so much more and is a much higher caliber city than Portland.

Not really. I think many Houston posters stay in their forum these days. Many people like to compliment Houston on it's Economy, Family Friendliness, Skyline, Diversity, etc.
