Houston is a great place. Good food, cool bars, tons of parks in my area, affordable

Cons: traffic, walkability like Skarlorn said, equatorial heat resulting in swamp ass 9 months of the year, and flooding

If you're looking to move here I can recommend areas based on what you're looking for. Wherever you go, if you rent, don't live on the 1st floor. We've flooded 3 years in a row

The heights: gentrified as fuck but overall a cool place. 50% attractive Asians and 50% gay dudes. Ghetto interspersed with wealth but like I said, gentrified and a cool place. I'm guessing lost of y'all would like it. My liberal son lives there but he makes $200k as a CRNA. It's not cheap

Med center/rice village: I live in this area because my wife likes museums, culture, and night life, and I like parks. I can walk to a lot of places to eat and do shit in my area and parks / dog parks are within walking distance. I'm wealthy and this place is expensive (just like the heights). If y'all are urban professionals I imagine you can afford to rent in the med center and it is a cool area once you get to know it. Plus nurses are in the area so if any of you want to man up and start a family there's that

Memorial: expensive, very nice, but even though its urban it's too suburban for my taste. Most people love it since they get the city life but can fade into a subdivision-esque slice of peace away from traffic and shit

Midtown: true city life. Couldn't pay me to live in the area but Washington street is where my children and all the other successful upper 20 somethings hang out

As an aside my favorite bar is in the heights and is called eight row flint. Whiskey bar

Oh and the food all over this city is great. If you're looking for Indian or Persian cuisine and you're in the city PM me I'll send a list
