    Things I like about Houston: consistently warm, proximity to the coast, the food, lots of different cultures, relatively less racial segregation and economic disparity than much of the South.

    Things I dislike about Houston: traffic, lack of effective transit and transit options, lack of zoning, the humidity, rains too often, mosquitoes, flooding, sprawl, ugly and cheap architecture, allergies.

    I was born here.

    Diversity.

    Jobs.

    My family.

    Rockets.

    Heat beats cold.

    Familiarity.

    Restaurants.

    Love the Southern hospitality, if not the Southern conservative mindset.

    Heard this song on the radio the other day. Made me laugh. Not a "good" song, but enjoyable. The song at the beginning reminded me of Astros games, which I used to love to go to, and which used to be a big reason why I wanted to stay in Houston. Nowadays, I don't even go when I'm offered free tickets.

    Low cost of living
    Strong economy
    Diversity
    Variety of restaurants

    What I'd improve: mass transit options throughout the city and high-speed rail + highway to Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas.

    The Women. A Houston 10 is like a Miami 6. That's pretty good I guess.

    I was born here.

    I fell in love here.

    I built a career here.

    I will tell you for sure that it isn't the heat and the traffic.
