Bravo! I am preparing to move to Houston, and this video was very honest and helpful! Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾✝️

bugs 😳

Ppl dont understand their making our city worse by moving here. Too crowded, too much going on, on the roads & js in general. I will get outta here one day

Houston actually has the largest medical center in the world. Not Boston. If you google “largest medical center in the world”, the results will show Texas Medical Center.

Looking for snall farm to ride horse raise chicken 5acres

I'm from Puerto Rico so heat, flood, mosquitoes, traffic, hurricanes are nothing to me. I think Houston would be a piece of cake so let's try it 😅🤔🍰

I’m in high ticket remote sales so no commute for me, I’m thinking l want to live in an area close to the good night life and brunch vibes…I’m still obsessed with turkey leg hut 😆

The population of the Houston metro area, which includes the suburbs, is over 7.5 million people. (2.3 in Houston city limits) When I grew up here, our(70s-80s) was population was a quite 500,000. Because HTX is spread out, we never thought we'd see the day of overpopulation. Property taxes are higher than GIRAFFE COOCHIE. The retail tax is tied with the highest in the United States @ 8.25%, morning traffic loosens up about 9:45a-10a.

Be careful in Houston. 7 out of every 10 drivers do not have a valid car insurance. Even if is not your fault, you’re screwed if you’re involved in a car accident.

What about weather conditions, like hurricanes ?

Any healthy or vegan food options?

No water breaks for outdoor workers. No medicaid for the poor. No abortion rights.

Annual power failures. Humid, miserable weather. Polluted air and water.

Just awful. Their is a reason Houston was named the 4th most boring big city in US. Downtown is just plain sad. Nothing going on at all. You have to drive 100 miles to get to anything. Liquor stores closed on sunday and close at 9 when open. Hands down the worst city I've ever visited

I have been here for decades, and I am moving away. Taxes, insurance, fess, traffic, crime. just the top few things why I hate this city.

Used to live in Houston for 16+ years in Sandalwood/Lakeview off Memorial. Three lakes on Buffalo Bayou!!!

Been here 3 years now. Have lived in more than 8 states. Just because there's a lot of restaurants doesn't mean they are all good. Driving and getting to downtown is hell. What you don't pay for in state tax you do in freeway tolls. Weather sucks you never get a chance to open your windows and get fresh air. It's just too hot day and night. Groceries are expensive and not impressed. The biggest issue..........if you don't read anything else read this next couple sentences........every weather event be prepared to be without electricity for DAYS (that's in 100 degree weather). DAYS people not just hours, possibly over a week. If you want or need utility security DO NOT move to Houston. This leads to impossibly high home owners' insurance and car insurance. Ridiculous insurance rates. Pros: homes are still affordable. Gasoline is affordable. Lots of health care available.

People think when they hear diversity it means all these different groups all get together and sing kumbaya . Thats not how it is here ,eveeybody doing their own thing in their own space and other than work people not mixing like that . In the same vein if you not from here you are going to be lonely because its very cliquish here ,you cant really fit in if you a native and move to another part of town you will be an outsider let alone from another state . Or quite possibly a victim .

Husband and I live in Minnesota, Minnesota taxes are unbelievably high No good food, no diversity, horrible weather, the winter makes everyone depressed , we have even considering Houston for some type. I ate some of the best vegeterian food in Houston while I was visiting on a work trip. I still remember how good the build your own salad was. Super friendly people , amazing weather when I was visiting in the spring, back in Minnesota it was still sub 20 in the spring 😊

Pro: Houston has What-A-Burger's Con: None, Houston has What-A-Burger's

I loved living in Houston for a year when I was 15 back in 1996. I would never want to live there again now with a family of 8. It's way too hot and there's constant weather calamities.

No state income tax usually means high property.Texas and food tax

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Houston metro area added 139,789 residents in 2023, which is a 1.9% increase from 2022. This is equivalent to one new resident every 3.8 minutes. The Houston metro area's population growth is attributed to two sources: people moving to the area and births outpacing deaths

It’s only traffic because yall wait there most of us houstonians drive off the road in the grass 🤣

You are a great real estate agent

Hi mommy, I love you

Great video

Pro: Economy and opportunity, Nightlife/Brunch, Thriving Young Professionals, BLACK CULTURE IS THRIVING! Suburban living is nice alternative to the city. Cons: Crime, Red State/Political Climate, Dating is trash, Big ass tree roaches, Beach is 45min away and is grimey.

Thank you for sharing! I recently started selling personal insurance in the Houston area from out of state. I look forward to visiting and checking out the town!

I think another con is high property taxes.

I’ve traveled to seven different cities and lived in seven different cities for that reason of being in the medical field and hands-down to Htown back when I was trying to get everybody to move here because if you’ve never been anywhere else, you don’t know anything I would tell them, Htown is the perfect placeto raise a family but now that I’ve come back home but I still love my city for what it is as well as trying to be helpful. It’s just a great place all day long.

And with the heat and the weather is because they’re taking all the trees it’s starting to be more concrete than what it is land and the ozone has really changed and the flooding comes from all the building and the fast building because of the fast pace people moving here

But we have everything to do and it’s a really good place to grow a family as well as the opportunity of having your children to grow up in diversity and not to mention thousands of things to do and if you check into it on certain days, it’s a lot of days that things are free or your children

The housing is going up because everybody’s moving here from Chicago New York, Washington and Houston is trying to make you guys feel comfortable when the people that come here they’re coming here because they love the land and they love how big the housing but now that everyone is coming they’re starting to build more and taking away land and it’smaking the houses and It’s making the cost-of-living and housing not so affordable anymore

We only have a lot of traffic because everybody is moving down here when it was just the people from Houston here everything was smooth

My goodness 13 san Franciscos. 🤯 This is really ALOT.

For Houston to be such a large city it’s pretty impressive with the housing cost being affordable compared to the other large cities like Chicago and LA

Born and raised Houstonian. Had to leave. Crap traffic and really uncomfortable weather. Can’t be miserable everytime you leave the house.

Lets mention low salary, lack of jobs unless you are in healthcare, gas or oil and energy. I am struggling deeply with this since layoff from my remote job in the Northeast. Regrets ...often.

I work in the Medical Center.

If you don’t live in the inner loop you’re not in Houston, if it takes you 45 minutes to an hour to drive to the city you annt in Houston this is for anyone in the Woodlands, Sugerland, Pearland, Katy, Humble Cypress stop telling people you live in Houston you don’t

I like your channel. I work in the city but live in Conroe. Have been here since July 2021. I will mention a couple of cons from a relatively new Comer perspective. I'm originally from DC and from December 2009 have lived in Texas. I've done the whole Texas triangle. San Antonio, Austin, DFW and now Houston. You appear to have a good balance between pros and cons. A little googling may help others in their decision. As far as long term, the city is sinking. The air quality is a concern for myself and others due to the proximity of the largest oil refineries in the western hemisphere. On may 29th Houston was voted the dirtiest city in a recent article. Btw the public transportation is under major development and will much better in 3-5 years. I know this because of inside knowledge as I work for the system in the technical space (not a driver). Also I considered Houston while living in San Antonio and noticed that the wages in my field at least (electronic controls and automation) have not kept pace. An example is the average was 29-$34/hr 7 years ago, several people from Houston at the time and people now that I'm here say it was 18-$25/hr. Now it's 28- 38 so it's a a lot closer to the present average of $32-$43/hr. Lastly veterans will benefit from the housing as using VA, we don't have to pay mortgage insurance and can move in with very little to nothing down. A lot of new builds offer low or no closing.

Great video! Native here! Always remember: Houston is an hour away from Houston 😂

amazing place to live and eat, unfortunately for me getting a job so far has been tough. Hopefully will find a job soon.

Just don’t move here at all! Come visit but go back home!!

Houston is not a great city, very over rated by native Houstonians! I was born and raised in Houston and bounced when I went off to college in 2004 in New Orleans and never left. Best decision ever, Houston lacks any unique cultural or history, its all very generic and similar to other cities established after the 1800s. Texas is too conservative, Greg Abbott is so mean, and the Republicans control the state. Yes Louisiana is a red state but I betcha we've had more Democrats as governors compared to Texas. Texas doesnt even have a casino. Lets not forget about the ridiculous strict liquor laws, and Houston has some of the highest number of drunk drivers compared to New Orleans. In New Orleans you can buy liquor from the gas station any day or time lol. Also Houston lacks southern charm or hospitality. Almost forgot about the wack Mardi Gras celebration in Galveston; it will never compare to New Orleans Mardi Gras not even Metairie Mardi Gras!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Houston is a fly over city; never on anyones bucket list, please dont forget that.🤣

Wow really informative and amazing content

Native Houstonian here. I hate that housing has doubled in prices in the last 4 years. It used to be so affordable. I also never thought that Houston would be one of the most desirable places to live. Also it’s super hot here. lol.
