What is it with these people putting Houston at #4? Theres NYC, LA, Chi,....and Houston! Seriously wtf?
Because of Houston's population at 2.1 million ppl? City population dont mean much, its the metro population that counts. Houston's metro is not yet bigger than Dallas-Ft. Worth and Philly!
When it comes, to art, shopping, entertainment, culture, theatre...I see ppl claimin Houston as #4 and some even dare challenge Houston with CHICAGO! I don't even see why Houston is clearly better than my hometown of Phillly

A lot of us feel this way. The people on the forum over-hype it. I hope the majority of people in Houston aren't like they are on this forum.

1. NYC
2. LA
3. Chicago
4. SF
5. Boston
6. DC
7. Philly
8. Miami
9 HOUSTON
Putting houston at ninth is being nice. Anyone can argue that dallas or atlanta has just as much as houston
Well obviously this is all very subjective. Besides, it's only the people on the forum. I'm sure most residents don't think this way.
I will guarantee most people don't think that way. Mostly because most people don't care. But Houston more than likely has passed Philly in metro population by now. It will for sure pass it by census 2010.
I am not trying to bash Houston in ANY way. I am aware of Houston's strengths and potentials. I know it is a booming metropolitan region, I know its got big business with oil and energy, I know it has Johnson Space Center, I know it has a great theatre district, I know it has tons of shopping malls (some are fine as hell), and I know it has some VERY wealthy neighborhoods....I KNOW. But come on, FOURTH place? I feel like San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Boston deserve that spot a bit more than Houston does.
Surprise surprise another Houston basher. City pop obviously matters to the census bureau, which is why they ranked us so. I know it hurts to think that Philly will never catch up in terms of city pop in this lifetime, and that you have the need to take solace in your surrounding cities and counties to help you feel better. We understand.
