San Antonio is a top convention, tourist, Military destination in the country. It is also a important business destination but as far as tourisim, Orlando is bigger in that department. Disney World pretty much the reason. San Antonio does have i'ts share of world class theme parks, restuarants, resorts and entertainment.

That's false because there are so many people from all around the globe in Miami alone and small neighborhoods throughout Florida that reflect that....Blacks? All Texas has is Black Americans....Florida has all the blacks from the Caribbean like Haitians, Guyanese, Bahamas, Jamaicans ect...Florida also has a high population compared to Texas of Russians and Europeans and not American/Europeans either

I am from the Caribbean, and Miami does have a larger Caribbean presence than Houston, but Houston is no slouch in that department either. Huge eastern Caribbean pop (including lots of Trinis) here, also lots of Haitian and Jamaicans.

We also have the bigger Nigerian population, and big Ethiopian and Congolese population.

I would say about a 3rd of Houston's blacks are 1st or 2nd gen foreign black

I live in Riverside Terrace and Houses in this area go from 200k to over a million.

Lots are huge here. Most are over 6K square feet and I have seen a couple of houses that are over 10k sq feet.

It is sandwich between two not so nice neighborhoods though

I'm sure Texas has Spanish style homes, I never said it doesn't. But that style started out in FL. Hence the reason a lot of people call them Florida style homes. I can post links to them too.. Plus a lot of the ones you guys posted looked liked regular suburban homes just with tile roofs, and were in suburban subdivisions lol, any developer could open a new subdivision with those style homes anywhere now a days. Here are some in FL, where they are much more common, and even though there are tons of subdivisions full of those homes, here are some that are in traditional neighborhoods...

Tampa

Orlando

And its not just neighborhoods that have that architecture, even a lot of town here have it..
