Im fine with someone like you preffering DFW for various reasons, but those reasons are so idiotic as to why someone would prefer DFW/ATL, I mean its just so flawed in many ways.

On a more serious note I do understand where you are coming from.

Houston is nothing but a dirty mosquito infested , roadside ditch town that can't even compete with other Texas cities. It's a big country city with nothing to do and it has no Six Flags. Austin ,DFW, and San Antonio are all better than Houston . It's light rail line system is a joke. I've also lived in Philadelphia , Baltimore ,DC and Atlanta and they all have great rail service when Houston , the typical country town opposes more miles of rail. Not to mention , it lacks of the ultimate urban vibe , you know , pedestrian oriented area that you see in Dallas and Austin . Dallas has Victory and DeepEllum .Austin has Sixth street and SoCo(South Congress). San Antonio has the riverwalk. New Orleans has Bourbon Street and Atlanta has it all. Houston is also a plague to all mankind without an entertainment district , no mixed use or transit oriented development , lack of creativity ,no music scene , no character , and no nothing. Afterall ,I would rate Houston as anyone's worst city. It's a city with no nightlife or no national name chains and that's why it gets no attention.

^I hope no one replies to the above comment, because obviously the poster knows nothing about Houston. So, just leave this poster dwell in his hate for Houston.

I'll take your amount of posts and rep points as a reference point to your above post. Talk about ridiculous.

Whatever ub2b i mean, duckets. If you're going to post under a different name, try to be more original and say something different from your first material. Also, try not to be so obvious... Both of these are your first post?

CLASSIC!!!

Even Austin is getting its act together with the large number of high rise developments and light rail system.It's no wonder that Houston is the most hated city in america.It's stuck in the 70s where you have to ride for dozens of miles in the hot , blistering and humid heat just to get somewhere.Another thing I don't like about Houston is that it lacks of an entertainment district. I would also say that Atlanta is even better than Houston when it comes to public transportation , beautiful night time skyline , education , and excellent nightlife. Houston doesn't even have no amusement park and no good radio stations either. To me ,Houston is nothing but a big old raggedy , nasty , tore up, boring, car driven, country bumkin, sorry , and lame city that doesn't appeal to no one.
