Its just more rural/suburban like areas in between Houston n Galveston but never feels far away even when Im coming from North Houston.
LA city limits do touch Long Beach and it's all fully developed. Galveston feels far removed from Houston. Ft Worth and Dallas are much more connected as well.

You need to come back down to Galveston for a more recent visit. Your view still seems outdated. There's a brand new outlet, mass subdivision development, new freeway off NASA road 1 with crazy development around, and plenty new houses.

The only time Galveston feels "far removed" from Houston is when you are actually on the island.

Maybe I'll do that, maybe its grown a ton in a year and a half. Its still not like LA/Long Beach at least not for a few more decades....

While Galveston feels culturally different than Houston, it still feels like Houston.

So uptown Dallas isn't one of the most if not the most urban area of Texas? This is what I said in my 2nd post. I haven't even mention Uptown Dallas for quite some time so what are you talking about? Clearly a biased Dallasites. I don't even understand the pissing contest between Houstonians and Dallasites at this point. Honestly I don't see why Galveston was brought up. I'm just stating Houston and Galveston are alot closer then what OUTSIDERS realize.
