Cohesive and average. What's up ith everyone on this thread and cohesive? Cohesive dosen't mean great. It just means everything goes together. In that case I agree with, but it's still makes the skyline look average.

Houston is in a drought right now... and it's still fairly green.

Wait until you've been here in a normal rainfall year... even better.

Anyone who describes Houston as "brown" or lacking in trees... sounds like something is really off.

houston does have a lot of trees, there just not thats tall or wide as other trees in the us. But houston does have tall pine trees going towards the woodlands and conroe. And i also wanted to bring something up, EVERY CITY IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN THE WORLD, HAS FLAWS, so yall dont be trying to bring up houstons flaws because believe me...2 can play that game...

You know Houston has it bad when people vote for a city in Canada that is downright cold about 5 months out the year. Montreal does have a decent subway system, some character, and a good casino. It's just the language barrier that I have to overcome. I would like to take a french speaking course one day.

I would like to visit Houston just to see what its like but I'll wait for the temperature to drop. I'm not a fan of hot weather.

IMHO Montreal's architecture looks plain outdated. It has more in common with the cities of the former Soviet Block such as Haskovo, Bucharest, Transylvania etc. Houston's architecture demonstrates innovation, power and energy. Its Architecture is similar to economically strong vanguard cities like Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Abu Dhabi.
