I don’t know why I am watching this. I already live here.

I like this. People need to know the good, bad, and the ugly!

The funny thing is Atlanta's Metro Area is 7 million but Atlanta has about 500,000 people in it.

I grew up in east Houston but now live in north west Houston and as bad as I hate to say it anything east of downtown is rough , head for Katy, cypress , or Tomball

Genuine I love your video man, I like it when people keep it real and honest.

Thank you for the information. My husband and I are looking to relocate to the Houston Area. I was glad that you mentioned the neighborhoods where not to move too. I saw new homes that were being built in Sunnyside and Acres Home with the understanding that was considered the hood. I hope you plan on doing another video of the places to live in Houston and also what is a planned community.

Thank you once againYour videos are always in lightning I look forward to talking to you or one of the members of your teams in the beginning of the year

Perfect, 🤗we got snow and rain today 🌬💨💨💨💨

Very insightful video! Thanks for the content.

I have been entertaining the thought of moving to TX and I stumbled across your videos and I have been getting quite a bit of information and I've especially been enjoying the tours of the different cities. I think I've watched almost all of your videos. I didn't know much about master planned communities we don't have them where I live, but it was very informative to know that these communities are built strategically so they don't flood. Thank you so much for this information!

Very informative video especially for someone like myself who has been thinking about relocating to Houston 👍🏽

Great video!! I'll be out there this weekend.

Good information! Thanks! Shirley in California

This video was extremely helpful thank you!!

Thank you so much for this excellent video. I am looking at moving to Houston from California and this is really eye-opening.

Awesome video. The best one I’ve seen

Thank you for the videos they are very informative and entertaining. I am actually debating whether to make the move to the Houston area from the bay area (Cali) and I'm very intrigued in the diversity aspect around the city.

Thanks much for all these valuable information ...want to get away from the snow and cold weather of New England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. But I’m having cold feet. I worry about snakes, flooding and now this ice storm

Appreciate you keeping it 💯 and really going in detail about each of your points. For me, a realtor keeping things honest on the good/bad would get my business instead of one that just sugar coats things. I’ve never been to Houston myself other than layovers at the airports, which doesn’t really count. I’m not considering moving there (I’m trying to escape the heat and humidity!) but I’m still interested in visiting the area before making any kind of judgements. Anyways, thanks for the video and keep up the good work!

Appreciate your candor. I'm a retired vet and Houston is a place I'm looking at. Good info. Thx

All great points. I'm from Port Arthur. Relocated to Katy for 4yrs, relocated to Denver (wrk purposes) and I'm on my way back to "The H" this summer. No place like home...bad traffic, hurricanes and construction on all the major highways and ALL

Very helpful!

this was pretty thorough.. ty

It doesnt get all that cold in Houston but when the cold rolls in its like this irritating nippy type cold that does make you sick from time to time.

OMG!!! I am not from here, but have been living here since 2013. I researched before I moved, but now that I've been here we have had some disasters and it's driving me crazy. However, I LOVE HOUSTON. I MEAN LOVE HOUSTON. Started researching Vegas. But now that you explained the master plan. I think I might stay (lbvs). Thanks for the good content. You were on point.

This is 100% facts, I’m from Houston and during allergy season my nose and throat is suffering!

This a well rounded vid. If I moved to TX, I'd be intrested in a farm / modern house. All the best Shaun of NYC

Me and my wife are relocating to Houston! Always good to be informed from peopLe with experience and not hearsay!!

Very nice, and professional!!

I love the friendly people of Houston while visiting and the melting pot. It's one thing to have diversity but another to be mixed-up. The living is good as well (cost of living to income ratio) You mentioned everything from pollen pollution to poverty and crime to keep Houston off my list of cities to live in. I would probably suffocate with the heat and pollen combination. Thanks for your information. It has really helped me.

I’ve lived here my entire life for 29 years. Went to college in Huntsville for 5. But I have been considering relocating to Dallas because my sister moved there and said it’s so much nicer than Houston and it doesn’t flood and have the crime as much. Just so used to life here though.

You BBQ during Harvey I was walking down 59 trying to get to safety because my car got flooded 😭😭😭

This was awesome!! Of all the research and video watching I have done, this was by far the best. I currently work as a RN and I am looking to relocate to Houston. I'm so over snow and In dire need of some sun and heat!!😂😂 I don't know if I want to purchase a home right away though. I could really use some assistance with apartment hunting. Again, great video!!

#1 REALLY! 😂 ... Seriously though, great video. You covered some perspectives I haven’t seen before regarding Houston. It’s moving up higher on my list for places to retire to.

Sir, you are wise. I am not from Texas and have no intention of ever living there but I still found this video to be compelling and interesting lol.

I am looking to relocate to Houston in the next year or so. I appreciate your video, it's very informative. I grew up in LA and I know exactly what you mean about 'where you probably wouldn't want to move your family'. I appreciate your honesty.

Wow! One of the best videos I've seen yet! Great info!

Thank you. This was so informative. I still will be moving to Houston, definitely looking forward to it. Also, does your team only help with home buying? I’m looking to rent.

Man, you’re scaring me about the heat! I’m graduating college and trying to get down to Houston. Not sure if high heat beats out -40 degree here up in WI or not 🤣

9:24 actually we now have Alaskan winters. I had to cancel 2 conventions this year in Jan & feb because hell froze over & the trip would be too hazardous. In 21 we had the horrible power outage during the worst freeze in Texas history.

Is the meadows place area good. I’ve heard good things about. Thank you 🙏

I can deal with the storms better than Memphis bullets

Might just be the best video i watched on Texas

I moved here a year ago for work. It was impossible to acquire a rental home regardless of the fact I was qualified and had the income. You have to BID on rental properties. People from LA and New York with bigger incomes beat you out. The home could be listed at $1,500 per month, but if people with way more money than you outbid you, you're out of luck. I was barely able to acquire an apartment. After living here for a little while, I discovered the road rage and the VERY high crime. Watching the 5 o'clock news was like watching an episode of The First 48 EVERYDAY!! I stopped at a gas station on my way to work and someone attempted to break into my car at 7 A.M. IN THE MORNING!!! There are many rough areas and it's just plain dangerous. You have to pay the money to live where it's safer. People aren't friendly. Many of the schools are HORRIBLE with student misbehavior. This is NOT a place to raise your kids unless you're pretty well off and you can afford to live in the better areas. Needless to say, I'm gone. I will NEVER return to Houston to live.

I'm thinking there talking about the amount of rain coming down we call it flooding .

Very informative video man. Looking to move out of LA after my son graduates high school. Been going back and forth between researching Dallas and Houston. Definitely subscribed 👍🏾

The first flood i see on my block..im.packing up and gong bck home.(chicago) 🤣🤣🤣🤣...but other than the storms i love houston ❤❤❤❤❤❤

It amazes me how many people care about the zoning laws because they make the city look "ugly" (it doesn't in my opinion, it makes it better bc you can live in a normal house/apt but have access to safe parks and areas almost no matter where you live) but for some reason NO ONE MENTIONS THE LITTER PROBLEM. It is freaking absurd how much litter there is. I have never seen so much trash in my life. The city is covered w it.

With all the inflation happening right now in the states, Houston is the best place to be right now. I lived in Houston for 8 years and also lived in Los Angeles for almost 3 years. Yes the weather is really humid and horrible but you will save a lot of money if you make the move. Just moved back from LA and never going back because of the cost of living.

"I was outside bbq-ing during Harvey." True Houstonian

Lmao 🤣 @Africa heat, but I'm for it!! I looooove the heat, it's actually a pro to me instead of a con. Man, I can't wait to relocate there

That’s the first thing I thought about when you said no zoning laws I imagined a skyscraper next to someone’s house 😂😂😂

My wife and I are thinking of relocating to Houston from the Jacksonville, FL and I really appreciate the straight forward information and in depth info about the city. We are not strangers to the heat and humidity as it’s exactly the same where we live now. We just want to move and start something new. Very informative and detailed. Thanks!

I be visiting in four weeks, the pearland area.

I would love you expertise, I’m looking to move to an apartment complex in Houston called stadia med main near Richmond, TX I think. Nervous about the crime, is that in the 5th ward?

#1 ...ha! that was funny but soo true! Houston teams have some die hard fans still reppin though! Lol

Every hurricane/ts is different. Ive been through a bunch since Alicia. Some are wind events....some are rain events. Ike for example...was a wind event. Knocked down a lot of trees and poles. Structures were damaged...but there wasnt widespread dangerous flooding. Harvey and Allison were rain events...

I spent 9 months in east and south Africa and east Africa was fairly mild maybe 80degrees at most but it rained almost everyday at exactly 3pm it was Uganda a third world country and had better drainage than we do

I’m about to move there this very good I’m moving to the Fondren area can you tell me anything about that area please

Iam coming

Moving to Houston and purchased a new investment home in Fifth Ward less than a mile or two from the East River Project. Do you foresee the area growing in the next couple of years?

A big problem is no zoning and run amuck developers. Since 2014 little or no manufacturing.

No place or city perfect just depends on preference

I live in Cali & Dry heat is so bad for our lungs, eyes & skin. I suffer from severe dry eye issues, it gets so bad i have to use drops constantly & a humidifier at night its so annoying. My Doctor told me to move to the south because my eyes would have more moisture. im just scared of alligators 😩🥺😂

It can still be cool in June in NYC.

Do you deal with owner financing properties. Thinking about moving to the area.

Yea weather sucks. But money is good down here. Never have a problem with money. Been here 27 years. Not to bad. If you can handle the heat and the mosquitoes. Lol

Been here 5 years and ready to go. Over It. Colorado or Arizona Is my next focus.

I'm moving there to work at a center that specializes in sexual abuse/trauma treatment for children..... thanks for the video. Good info.

I was so hype to move to Houston. Now you have me second guessing myself. Come on man! LOL

Do u know anything about austin texas. I want to visit Houston too. What the hottest month not to come. 😅

My college classmate has been in Houston for 20 years. He said Houston "is popping!" I have another college alum who's from Houston, and she talks a lot about the city. Speaking of "African heat," in the early 80s, a young teenager from Nigeria was at Kennedy Airport, in New York, and asked an airline employee what is the most similar city to Lagos. The young man was told to go to Houston. For 40 years, Hakeem Olajuwan has done pretty well....!

Had 2’ of water in my house in Harvey other than that freak flood I’m doing good about to sell the house that flooded for 100k more than I got it for in. 16

Don’t forget we also have stand your ground laws and castle doctrine, meaning we have the right to protect ourselves and our property from intruders by using deadly force if necessary.

i’m african houston heat ain’t nun

At least we got the ‘stros

I'm on my way..Cali is killing me

help, moving from Canada!

It's hurricane season you have to worry about.

The floods though

Can a person get into a master plan community around 300k? Thanks

Best area to live in Huston

What's the best suburban area is Houston?

Where are the most Caribbean located

I visited Houston this weekend. Thinking of moving there from NYC as I have a job offer but these reviews from native Houstonians make the city sound awful.

Well I can tell you why you shouldn’t move to, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Washington DC, Baltimore, Atalanta, Tampa. While I currently live in Houston. 😅I’ve lived and worked in or near to all of them. And I have to say houston is the place I have earned the most money. I have climbed faster here economically than any of those other places. I would never return to any of those places ever! So I’m not sure why you aren’t finding success, but self determination and hard work are needed and not laziness. Some people think forty hours a week is hard work. 😂 Houston has relatively cheaper gas than the rest of the country by far. We have better paying jobs. And homes are cheaper than the top twenty most populated cities in the United States. So your getting more for your money. Now if you don’t care about money, than yes stay away from Houston and go to Chicago, LA, Portland, New York, where rents and homes are twice as high. Along with those high prices come with high violent crime rates. Sky high taxes plague those top cities in other states besides texas.

If you from california and will move to Houston then don't cuz believe me you will hate it here, this ain't no LA it's just bad weather and traffic

That income tax is not high compared to tn

i hate it here been here all my life 😂

I don't know about the 7.7 million people living in metro Houston Maybe about 6.9 million the last time I checked but great insight anyway.

crime, roaches, mosquitos, rats, crime, humidity, bad roads, bad schools, crime, heat, hurricane, floods, crime. Trash place.

Numbers say one thing but in my experience i dont find Houston to be all that crime ridden. Plenty of good neighborhoods in H Town and plenty of jobs. Its not hard to get out the hood here.

Honest question: why the encouragement to avoid moving into predominantly black neighborhoods? I know the crime element exists, but I’m seeing gentrification taking place in ‘our’ devalued areas; fast forward 10 years and now ‘we’ can’t afford to buy in our own neighborhoods. Let alone theirs. Example: Acres Homes. I own 2.5 acres there and wasn’t willing to build there 10 years ago because of crime then. Fast forward now, I could never buy that same plot of land for what it’s assessed (taxation) at today. New town homes (acreage being built up monthly into moderately priced housing); in that area, only two miles up the road from Oak Forest/Garden Oaks are selling for $400k. Mind you, these townhome communities are put on 2k square lots each. People that can’t afford the $1.3M homes in Oak Forest/Garden Oaks are buying these properties and soon will eventually price out their poorer, elderly and depressed generational black neighbors. We will lose, once again, our opportunity to establish generational wealth, because others are playing the long game. We somehow believe the ‘white man’s ice is colder’, continue to move from our land where we were forced, driven, only allowed to live and they will continue to economically benefit from us. Buy low, sell high. Just remember how they sold up beachfront property (sold/given to former slaves) because you couldn’t grow crops on it. It had no agricultural benefit to them until they wanted to swim at these same beaches and have vacation homes. I wish/hope we begin to value what we have; we are steadily losing economic ground because we’ve lost sight of our black American ancestral struggle. They bled, sweated and died for land that we current generations see no value in. I worry for our future…😔

How are the Reptiles in Houston such as Alligators or Snakes?

I love texas but i hate humidity

is there snakes?

Anywhere is better than NY lmao

Watch out for the people driving around with no drivers license and no insurance, and don’t even speak English, because if they run into you , you gonna come out of pocket .

Can’t forget the sorry ass job market here. Most warehouse and factory jobs up north start you off with a minimum $16.. hell here you can be a certified forklift operator and start off with $12 lol.. worst part about Houston besides the floods
