Nothing needs to be changed. I will never be critical toward this city in any way ever again. The traffic, the pollution, the lousy aesthetics, wow, yes there shouldn't be any improvement at all because we all have jobs. Except for the minor point that the unemployment rate here is greater than that of the rest of Texas.

Yep everything here is great. No improvement necessary. It might cost me my job.

The locals (90% of them born here, I'd say) do not tolerate any criticism. That's nothing new here.

Sorry, but it's just that we heard it all before. Your gripe was that the traffic lights were ugly, lol. Your thread is just a long line in unproductive threads. So forgive us that live here for sticking up for the place we grew up in, or have truly come to love. And for those of us that know things are improving, and choose to focus on the good we already have.

The nerve of us Houstonians.

He registered recently just to talk a lot of noise. When people get tired of him he'll start up a new account and start again.

Aww...thanks, that made me all warm and fuzzy inside. Shucks, I'm black and I'm pretty sure I'm blushing now!

It's hard up at the top, but us Houstonians remain humble.

Huh-huh-huh-huh he said "hard"

Speaking of hard, that's how life is when you move somewhere and don't accept that things aren't always going to be like where you came from.

Just don't admit you're from California, and you can criticize all you want. Texans love to hate California. And it seems from your last thread that unfortunately, Texans also love to gloat about California's problems. Justs proves how great Texas is.

It reminds me of how when you have two universities in a city, the inferior one develops an intense rivalry with the better one. The better one often has no idea a rivalry exists. It's kind of pathetic.

That's not true, necessarily. We've had at least two Californians that I know of that have just done nothing but whine about Houston--and we've had some that love it here. I don't recall anyone hating or acting rude toward the latter.
