Houston is the most unattractive city in america. Its not pretty it's brown and flat and humid. Houston skyline sucks too and is extremely overatted it obviously lacks zoning and is incoherent and gets cut off by the freeways that surround it. Montreal looks better and has a better downtown and skyline that flows cohesivly into the rest of the city and has public transit something Houston lags.
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 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.
Seem to have built sometime in the 50's? That's a great quality to have.. Why do you think NY and Chicago have one of the greatest skylines in the world? Because the diversity of architecture which spanned over many decades, the architectural goodness of each era combined into one.
IMHO Montreal's architecture looks plain outdated.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.
