    Just a fun thread...I want to see your opinions as to why you love Houston. Is the weather a factor, or is it because of its cost of living, etc? I love Houston because it's a great city and it also has a lot of varieties to choose from such as restaurant and businesses.

    Great weather and great quality of life for a nice affordable price. If only there was more public transportation, especially out to the suburbs.

    Born & raised overseas. Came to the states and realized everybody had a favorite sports team (and ALL fans are EXACTLY the same). I wasn't going to be flippant about it so I partied around the US looking for perfect city to give ALL my sports loyalty. Found myself sharing a city with a guy named Moses Malone. Deal is Done.

    I love the way the city is built like a giant strip mall.

    I think that means you love SOUTH Houston. Nevertheless, one must appreciate the debatchery that happens there.

    I like shiny buildings, inner loop restaurants and because I own a home and work here. When I retire, I'm outa here to somewhere with less heat/humidity/highway billboards.
