What does that have to do with anything, and what does Spring, TX have to do with anything? Spring is not Houston, most of which you've probably never even experienced aside from your freeway trips.

It's all the same. Just one architecturally cheesy strip mall after another with their tacky flagstone trim, nail shop, massage parlor, off-brand gas station, Karate instruction, Cricket Wireless, and H&R Block.

Aw, you poor thing. How will you ever suffer those unsightly stoplights for one more minute??

Every highway leading into town also leads out. Do yourself and Houston a favor: hop on one of 'em, step on the gas pedal, and don't look back. Just be sure to mind those ugly stoplights along the way.

What's that song .... "Hit the Road Jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more. Hit the Road Jack and don't you come no more."

And why is it that the better cities don't need someone like you? I would say a city where you can work and have a fairly good standard of living is a good thing.

Houstonians are typically warm, inviting and friendly except when they have to listen to someone working here and holding job yet whining about how awful it is for them here.

Try being young, working in an office in Theftchase, and having your REVERSE 12-mile commute take 45 minutes in the afternoon because the only good apartments are located inside-the-loop. Life's rough. Why do engineers put up with this?

Now we know you're full of it.
All you have to do is look at the photo threads on here to see there's a lot more than that, but apparently you're too lazy to even do that.

Because they can at least take solace in the pretty stoplights.

Only good apartments located inside the loop? What a crock, Houston covers over 600 sq. miles of land & according to apartments.com has over 806 to choose from.

Maybe you need a better paying career so you can afford a more lavish pad while you're here. Do us all a favor & leave asap.
