Don't you mean the lack of development in and around the city? BTW why is this thread still going on? LA mops the floor with Houston just in its city limits against the whole Houston metro
Funny
Houston's inner city loop make's Dallas' look like childs play. Its also more densely populated AND more developed.
Houston is certainly a lot closer to being similar to LA than Dallas is. The coast, the palm trees, the skylines, the diversity, the freeways, etc.

Economy? Most in LA don't really care if Houston's economy overtakes it. Angelinos rarely talk about Houston.
I will concede that Houston has a much lower cost of living and doing business. This makes it more friendly to the middle aged and above. Yet I still see many Houstonians in their 20s and early 30s (my age bracket) relocating to LA. Far more than I've seen go to Houston.
No I'm not offended. I just don't see why the Houstonians are so obsessed with overtaking LA in literally every category. Houstonians put way more thought into this than anyone in LA.
Houston will never be like LA and LA will never be like Houston plain and simple. So they have similar multiple downtowns. The end.

Actually it appears you're putting more effort into this conversation than anyone else. Houstonians could careless about overtaking LA. Dallas is our main target.
I'm not understand this beef amongst these cities on CD; considering from my experience. The people from both cities seem cordial amongst each other and both have strong connections.
Again, LA is not sprawled like the way Houston is sprawled.
LA is a very urban sprawl, with high population densities. LA is best described as a plethora of upper middle density neighborhoods and suburbs.
The density is way higher than in Houston, which is quite rural in parts of the city and throughout Harris County.
LA has many suburbs even with population densities in the 10K + range.
I've noticed on this board that really it is the Houstonians trying to compare to LA versus the other way around. I wonder why (rhetorical)?
But LA wasn't always like this. That's all people from Houston are saying. We are what LA was 50 years ago, development wise. No one from Houston is saying it should be like LA.
