No, it is not. People still think Houston the city is conservative when in fact it is not.

Seattle is just fabulous, and everything that I would want in a city. Give me a house with a view in Madrona, Madison Park or West Seattle and I would be a happy camper!

That's ridiculous. Whether an area is Liberal or Conservative has nothing to do with how Urban it is.

I'd take Seattle...friendly people, beautiful scenery, not as much smog and it just has a certain charm that Houston lacks.

Houston does have a lower cost of living and more space, which is nice. But being as flat and boring as it is, it is easy to understand why.

I don't understand what being flat has to do with anything.

Haven't you figured it out yet Westhou??? Flat cities instantaneously means boring. Miami, Dallas, Chicago, New Orleans,etc
