The ironic thing is that I moved from Houston to Arkansas. I loved Houston, but I don't miss it. I do have to snicker at residents around me in AR.

@AshG000 Год назад

Lived here for 20 years and we’ve had more downs than ups. Traffic/ roadways/construction is the worst, 75% of the tollway is clogged with people without an EZ tag so it’s best to avoid it. the weather is by far the worst in the nation; unstable. crime, no matter how rich or poor the neighborhood is, low life, blue, and white collar crime is EVERYWHERE. Galveston IS NOT a beach, don’t let anyone convince you it is. Zero tourism/attractions outside the annual Rodeo Festival Gentrification is rising but they’re mainly in poorly constructed areas with high flood risks and heavy traffic The only upside is the food and nightlife. There truly is something for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend anyone moving here but it can be a nice visit if you know someone.

@holygirl001 Год назад

I’ve been here for 14 yrs and agree. It’s a catch 22 because although the cost of living is rising rapidly, Houston is still considerably affordable than most major cities.

Living in the suburbs is always an alternative for half your problems. Less traffic, property taxes aren’t as bad, less flooding, etc. Try Cypress, Willowbrook, Katy, or even Pearland(if you like southside living)

I Personally hate Summer time anywhere, I'm a Cold Weather Person. You are absolutely correct about the influx of insects, they will eat you up terribly in most of those Southern States. Florida has an excessive amount of tolls also, which is certainly very costly. I know Baltimore is not the best place in the Country, but at least we get 4 Seasons, and this past Winter has been an absolute dream ! No SNOW, moderate amount of rain, and the temperatures have been pretty reasonable for January & February.

For the past 16+ years, I have lived in Houston and own a home here in the inner loop. I get real estate tax breaks for being a resident owner and a senior retiree. My taxes are much lower than other places I’ve lived.. If you don’t have to commute to work, living in central Houston has advantages. Everything you need is close by. A disadvantage is that there is more crime. The mosquito situation has improved drastically in the last few years because the city has been hanging mosquito deterrent in trees on the esplanades. Everything else stated in this video should absolutely be considered before moving to Houston.

Don’t blame her for pointing out what to expect in Houston.

Quite honestly, most of those items mentioned are taking place throughout the states. Of course it’s regional as well because the northeast won’t get sweltering heat in late October but traffic is an issue but there’s public transportation.
