You can get suburban living in both counties, both upscale and affordable, with obviously Harris County having a better cost of living. So unless you prefer Washington DC to Houston, you should choose Houston.
Oh, and Rachel(yes I spelled your name wrong, get over it), your obvious hate for Houston is revealed again with simple research that even ignorant people like you would be able to do without much effort could've been done. Fairfax County has voted Republican just 1 time less than Harris County in presidential elections. Both went for Obama in 2008. And your more likely to live in a liberal part/district in Harris County than in Fairfax.

^Excellent post, SouthmoreAve. It's probably best to just ignore certain clueless, biased posters with obvious agendas.
While there are several redeeming qualities to Fairfax, I would much rather be in Harris County - even though I've never been there. I don't care much for that part of Northern Virginia. It's nice in spots, but with a few exceptions the general population of the area is a huge turnoff to me.
On the other hand, everyone from Houston that I have dealt with in person and over the phone in business has been great (huge generalization, but that's my experience, fwiw).

Oh well, don't really care if you don't like my opinion. I would rather be close to NYC where my friends and family are anyway.

While i hate most of Fairfax county, i think there are a very few nice areas. I don't know anything about Harris country.
