A good, diverse job market, a growing population with a healthy and sustainable age structure, affordable housing, and decent, spacy neighborhoods aren't cool or exciting at all i guess, quite the opposite. I feel quite sorry for Houstonians, them having to live in such a god awful place

Yeah its a good place to live you made your point but everything you mentioned doesn't make it a particularly special or interesting place. Just a good place to live.

There's no denying that. In fact, if it wasn't for Leeds, England, my #1 pick for a boring major city would have likely been Houston.

Carcassonne in southern France (and a lot of other small towns in SW France). So provincial and parochial it's painful. And a lot of derelicts, vagrants and drunkards.
And now the spaced out tribe (no they aren't funny guys) who believe in the Mayan prediction of the end of the world on December 12 2012 are flocking to the region because they believe that Armaggeddon , for whatever reason, will spare them if they take refuge on a certain mountain (mount Bugarach)

Now it's a vibrant, happening city of considerable size with one of the most impressive downtown cores on the North American continent! I wouldn't choose it, but I have to give it enough credit to recognize it should never go on a list like this.
