I'm from Houston, so Houston will always have my support. I haven't been to LA, so I can't say much about LA. Houston feels like home in a way, it's a beautiful southern city. LA is attractive because they have the porn industry though.
Location: The land of sugar... previously Houston and Austin

Oopsy. So much for a strong economy
You conveniently forgot to mention that L.A. ranks even higher on that "undesirable" city list. Oopsy.

Not-so-nice try at trying to discredit someone else's real experiences over your obvious bias.
What is this media exposure conspiracy you are talking about? And guess what, ALL cities have fantastic, small ethnic restaurants to choose from, Houston is not the only place to have them.
Never tried a kolache, but I will next time. Just curious as to why you would look for a Kolache in LA, if you know it's a Texas thing? I live in SD and I'm heading to NYC next month, but I sure as heck won't be looking for carne asada fries or a California burrito while I'm there.
It annoys you that im not thrown back by your city doesn't it? I think that i have made it pretty clear, i have no desire for my city to immolate or be Los Angeles. In fact, my desire is for Houston to be Houston. People on "polls" often reflect a hatred towards all things Texan because of the culture here, we aren't liberal...We don't want to have an out of control state government, and we really aren't as "flashy" as many yankee's and Californians would like.
not ALL cities have fantastic small ethnic restaurants, and if they do....their isn't a great deal of variety. But hey if you'd like to subtract one of L.A's strengths and call it somewhat ordinary...fine.
By the way, i actually didn't know that Kolaches were "Texas things" until i went to L.A and discovered this wasn't something everyone enjoyed.
look if yall want to view Texas as a mirror opposite, and backwards version of California...fine. It really doesn't hurt my feelings
one bit.
^^That's actually much grosser to me, personally. I can't stand humidity. At all. I feel like I'm going to die when I'm in NYC in summer. I can't imagine Houston or New Orleans at all.
Also, the smog in LA is worse than other cities in the US but what people mostly see in pictures, etc. is simple haze/light fog, something we get due to the unique location/topography.
I like the second picture the best, it shows the full scope of the L.A Downtown Skyline. From some angles, the DT LA looks like four of five tall buildings lumped together...and it isn't flattering. every city not names LA or Chicago however has those perspectives though.
"set up" and "developed" are two very different things.
Houston is "set up" with multiple centers just like LA.
It is not, however, "developed" in anywhere near to the same style or to the same degree.
At the street level the two cities are worlds apart.
I know all of that. My argument has always ben that Houston add LA are set up the same. But in feel, that are nothing alike.
