Let's face it, there is more beauty in the (little) Brooklyn Heights than in the whole metropolitan area of Houston
Are you being sarcastic? Please tell me you are.
I just got done looking at the apartments and they look like an absolute dump compared to Houston's luxury apartments and homes.


I wonder how much it cost to live there. Better yet should we do a col comparison and see the quality of apartments you can get in Houston vs the quality of apartments you could get in New York city?

Do you reeaaaallly want to go there? I haven't destroyed anything all week but I'm anxious to destroy your argument.

Seriously? You'd get more amneities in your apartment in Houston, that doesn't make the Houston neighborhood beautiful compared to the NYC ones listed.

You can't compare Houston to NYC.

Houston is basically a collection of suburban-like areas with a few major business/industrial centers scattered around (like Atlanta, Los Angeles, etc). Any areas with trees and newer housing can lay claim to having "beauty".

While NYC is it's completely own entity.

The fact that real estate prices and rent are so high in NYC suggests that there is a very strong demand for living in that city.

Can you name us even one place within 100 miles of Houston that has even 10% of the architecture or historic stock of brownstone Brooklyn?

Because, if you can't, you're just trolling.

Honey,

you can cherry-pick any info you want; that doesn't mean you are right.

Ok, Houston apartments are bigger... and so what?

That doesn't change the fact that Houston is mediocre at its best, and its (few) nice parts lack charm, character, history...

Also, New York City may not be the world tidiest city: but at least we can wipe out the trash, while in Houston you can't wipe out its trashy ugliness
