I don't find the Houston pics impressive in the least.

I like those pics, especially those CA/FL Spanish style villas.

Not every photo someone will post will be exclusive to that state. There were plenty of those NY state photos which had things you can find in other states.

I'm sure they do but come on now. No state is messing with Texas when it comes to beef. I mean, this is cattle country, right?

It's not really that dense. The NYC suburbs have a higher population density.

It's not AS dense but it's still dense nonetheless. Just like NY isn't AS varied as TX but STILL varied nonetheless.

The NYC suburbs also have a smaller land size, so your point is invalid.

ugh - you can't argue against density

although there are some dense parts, cities in the "sunbelt" just aren't that dense compared to other cities

you can argue the importance of density - but you can't argue what density is

you can't say a figure is invalid because a place has more people on less land or even the same amount of people on less land ...... it's not invalid, it's the definition!

harris county is the 3rd most populous county in the nation - however, it only has half the density of suburban nassau county on long island ....... it's about 1/30th as dense as NY county, 1/17th as dense as kings county, 1/10th as dense as queens county and 1/15th as dense as bronx
