Ok then, lets do some comparing shall we?




vs.



I don't mean to bash your city, but you people act like Houston's SUCH an amazing place! And act as tho its better then Philadelphia, when you know its not. If Philly's city, or metro was that size it would tumble your stats!

Philadelphia:
Size (city): 142.6 sq miles (369.3 km²)
Pop (city): 1,536,471 (2011)
Size (metro): 5,118 sq miles
Pop (metro): 6,398,896 (csa)

Houston:
Size (city): 627.5 sq miles (1,625 km²)
Pop (city): 2,145,146 (2011)
Size (metro): 10,062 sq mi
Pop (metro): 6,191,434

Let the stats speak for themselves!!!

Oh we have green. Alot of green, just like nyc. But we do it like a "urban" city should.

By green I am referring area with a large concetration of homes with lawns and abck yards within the city

Sure, there is, but mostly on the outer fringes of the city.. other than that, you have to head to the suburbs if you want something like that.

Really Houston is the one walking around with its nose in the air ???? Some of your fellow poster act like philly is heaven and Houston is some waste land.. it is beyond their ability to belive some people prefer Houston over philly and if you dont agree with that your just not understanding what makes a great city, nevermind they are talking to people we have lived all over
