Harris County is pretty diverse, but the counties that surround Harris County tend to be more conservative.

It seems like Downtown maybe be more Liberal right? People are more likely to say hi to each other on the streets.

Fiscally conservative meaning on spending?

Socially liberal as in? Houston's mayor is Gay.

Yes, that's what fiscal means. Socially liberal means lifestyle acceptance as to religion (or lack of), race, sexual preference, etc. etc. That was my point about our gay mayor.

How do YOU rank compared with liberals or conservatives? Take a couple of these quizzes and find out. Great site run by psychologists from USC, UV, and another school. The answers may surprise you. You may score like conservatives on some issues, and like liberals on other issues.

True, though most of them don't know it.

I've always found Houston to be the opposite of Texas.

I live in a very conservative area in an even more conservative suburb of Houston and you can't drive or walk around here without someone saying hi, waving or stopping to ask if you need help with something. I spend a lot of time traveling for business and the majority of that time is spent in large metro areas around the country and surrounding countries, the more liberal and "progressive" an area claims to be the less people talk to each other on the street or help each other.

Try holding a door open for someone or waving to a stranger on the street in NYC or LA and see how receptive they are compared to a place like Houston.
