Let alone Lake Houston.

I don't even think most Houstonians outside of the residents on the far northeast end of town even know it exists! Crazy huh?

I know, right!?! It's probably one of the parts of the metro that's least developed, maybe that's why. More and more new subdivisions popping up though.

Lake Houston homes, view one - Google Maps

Lake Houston homes, view two - Google Maps

Still, to me there's nothing quite the same as being right on the coast with a real beach.

Coastal Houston metro, view one - Google Maps

Please do your research before slandering someone. Fyi, I posted the pie charts for the racial make up of Dallas vs. Houston & they are practically identical mirrors of one another.

Also, the densities of the cities are as follows:

DALLAS- 3,736 people per square mile
HOUSTON- 3,870 people per square mile

After considering the arm pit of the USA vs. Dallas. Your city if full of EVERYTHING that's WRONG with Texas & why Texas is hated by many. Your city is filthy. I will take Big D thank-you. Btw, American Airlines hub is DFW. DFW has outstanding International access possibly better than IAH.

Oh, please do elaborate so that I can come to this realization that I've been living in a cesspool for so many years! Wow, I've just never noticed!

I will comment on the DFW vs. IAH situation because I work for the airlines, and frankly its a subject on which Im fairly well versed.

DFW is a much larger and busier airport than IAH, but IAH is more Internationally focused. Basically, AA's hub at DFW and CO's at IAH mirror each other except that IAH has more service to Mexico and Central America and DFW has alot more service domestically.

AA has 4 European destinations nonstop from DFW (London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Madrid) and CO has 4 European destinations from IAH (London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam). They both have about the same amount of capacity by plane size.

AA at DFW has three destinations in deep South America (Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Santiago, Chile) and CO at IAH has three deep South American destinations (Sao Paulo, Rio de Janiero, and Buenos Aires). AA at DFW has more capcity to the reigion because they use larger aircrafts for the flights.

AA at DFW has two flights daily to Tokyo and CO at IAH has one flight daily to Tokyo. All flights are operated by 777.

In Central America and Northern South America is where IAH has quite a bit more. DFW has flights to Guatemala City, San Jose, Costa Rica, Panama City, Panama, Belize City, and Carracas, Venezuala. IAH has all the above mentioned destinations plus Bogata, Lima, Tegusegalpa, Managua, San Pedro Sula, and Roatan.

In Mexico, they both have extemely extensive networks, but IAH has about 5 more destinations.

As for foreign carriers, IAH attracts more because of the oil industry.

They both have:

British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, TACA, Areomexico

IAH has:

Air France, Emirates, Qatar, Singapore Airways

DFW has:

Korean Air, Mexicana

Overal in capacity to the reigions of the world:

IAH has more capacity to: Europe, Central and Northern South America, and Mexico

DFW has more capacity to: Asia, deep South America, and domestically

In terms of Cargo, DFW handles quite a bit more than IAH.

Hope that helps.
