Dallas = (Houston + California) - humidity

Mature or naturally occurring trees and greenery are hard to come by in Dallas north of 635.

All right, I must intervene the previous posters who got emotional about their pride of Houston. Nothing wrong with my fellow friends, here.

Houston can be fairly relaxed until you become another backstabbing office politician and stopping on the right lane at the red light and forcing me to make a daring right turn from double left lane!

By far, Houston has to be the most relaxed and laid back city despite it's size... it's what, 6 million population for the metro area, and it takes more than 2 hours to get from one side to another? Yet, people are friendly and it almost has a smallish town feel.

Houston is friendly and rather casual/informal. In contrast Dallas is more formal and status oriented.

The most friendly people I have ever encountered, however, are in the deep South-western North Carolina, Alabama, and rural parts of Georgia.


Atlanta has changed alot since I was a college student over 30 yrs ago. Not to generalize, but lots of northerners have changed the personality of the city.

That's because Houston is really a collection of small towns masquerading as a big city. Think of Houston more as the United Federation of Areas/Towns/Neighborhoods/Subdivisions of Houston and then we're getting somewhere...

If that guy thought it was “cost prohibitive to live in the city’s core” then, I wonder what he thinks now?
