There is a distinctive nasty smell when you are at the border waiting to cross over. A smell I will never forget. It is the exact same smell I smell when I go into to Houston. It is like there is no sewer system.

You guys listing Houston as a terrible place to live must be very sheltered. Houston is a shinning beacon of civility compared to places like NY, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, St. Louis, LA, Philly, and all of New Jersey. Very sheltered indeed . Houston still blows man ,to much goin on ,traffic ,humidity , ace holes ... just dont understand why some one would specifically choose to live there when you could live out in a peaceful quite rural area. If Houston is your bread and butter and its where you make all your money then fine . But you dont have to live there I like some of the surrounding areas like Conroe and magnolia and a few others . Woods and lakes For me Houston is actually my preferred place to live in the country. For what I do for a living I need a large industrial base to have a decent chance of staying somewhere for a long period. If you look at large industrial bases in the south that basically leaves you with Houston, Atlanta, and Dallas. For me Houston is the best option of the three. I'd never actually live inside the belt way, but lots of nice areas outside of Houston like you mention. I lived in Cypress for 3 years. Traffic was rarely an issue as I never got on an interstate. If I did, I was smart about when I did it. It's hot, it's humid, but I don't dig ditches for a living. Plus with a pool, palm trees, and a margarita in your back yard it's not so bad. People are generally nice. Cost of living is low. Close to the coast. Lots of culture. Not bad on the net net.

my choice would be Chicago having spent 6 months(seemed like an eternity)there during the winter back in mid 60's....I also came to understand why there is a bar on every corner... but drinks are much cheaper up there. I spent the summer of 1972 in small town Wis.. Population 250 with 7 bars. Worse places for me would be Jersey (almost anywhere), Ohio (almost any where but especially Cleveland), Gary In., southern Ca., and desert SW.. Almost forgot about where I work. NO WAY I would live in the Grove. I think life expectancy in the Grove is the shortest in the U.S. and maybe the world.
