Wow, this is a great piece about our beloved city. Sub-headline: "Innovation, job growth and immigration put this Lone Star city ahead of New York and Boston."

Nice to see something more in-depth than a list made from some computer printout of abstract statistics.

Oh, but we're "Houstonians," not "Houstonites." They'll learn soon enough.

Haha! I read that and thought "what's a Houstonite?"

Houston is no longer under the radar. I kinda miss how it used to be.

Very interesting article...

I think that the article is quite accurate... in Houston business has always come first...

business has come before aesthetics, the environment, convenience... etc.

Although IMO the title of the article is very misleading... the article highlights the business and jobs that thrive in Houston and not about how it is a model city.
