El Paso has them all beat except in things to do. Houston area is the arm pit of Tejas.
So what does that make El Paso? Little Mexico?

Several nights each week we just sit on the boardwalk and watch the boats coming in from a days fishing or recreation.

All this in exactly 12 months

Though last month my company moved from Galveston to Houston's Galleria area I will commute it because I dont want to leave here.
I would love to someday live in the Kemah/Clear Lake/League City area near Galveston Bay.

San Antonio for 1 school year
Austin for college
Canyon Lake for retirement

Loved all 3 and spent 36 years away (mostly in Virginia), wanting to get back to Texas. (Virginia is lovely. It just isn't Texas.)

LOL, sorry if I offended Houston. I hope you can get over it soon.

And El Paso is like little Mexico and still has Houston beat by a mile. Real Mexican food, better weather, mountains, gets less than 10" of rain a yr with no natural disasters, nonderegulated electricity, much cheaper property taxes and the 2nd safest big city in the USA.

The last place I would deem to be safe would be a border town like El Paso.

Guess you don't read the news much do you?

Mexican drug cartels have taken over those kinds of places.

Guess you don't get out much. It's Mexico with the problems not El Paso. Houston is hot, humid and stinky, can't argue that. Arm Pit of Texas.
