Born and raised in houston texas i love meeting new people each and everyday. As the years pass more and more people seem to move here
Houston is an attractive place to live and work, and visit. I love how it's diverse with a lot of thriving industries. But there are areas where I would like to see change in Houston. The first area would be transportation; Houston's traffic congestion is a significant issue and improvements in public transportation would greatly enhance reducing commuting times. I would also hope to see more green spaces, parks, and bike lanes as they would contribute to a healthier city.
I was born and raised in Houston and I absolutely love it. I believe Houston is a well rounded city with lots to do but with super friendly areas as well. I currently go to the University of Houston and love the diversity and atmosphee. I personally live in northwest Houston and the community is amazing and so are the schools.
Houston is a great place to live, there's a lot of jobs expanding for many fields and a lot of people come here to study for the best schools and they decide to live here. There's a lot of schools in the area so plenty of space to study as well. Houston is also an amazing tourist spot, being one of the most diverse places and, in return all the cultures combine together to create the best food scene in any state. However, the experience as of recent has been going down due to the amount of people that are moving here, the minimum wage still being $7.25, and the prices for everything have going up by a lot.
I moved to Houston during the peak of the COVID pandemic to work in a COVID diagnostic laboratory. Since moving here, I have begun working in leukemia research at a cancer hospital. As far as opportunities for jobs in the medical realm, Houston is a great place to live in work. There is a booming medical center that can provide employment for many people with training in biomedical fields.
Personally, I moved from northern Nevada which had a lot of outdoor recreational opportunities. Houston, due to the intense weather and vibrant city feel, doesn't seem to have the option to cultivate interests in outdoor activities - such as hiking, biking, swimming, camping, etc. I know it is possible to do these things when you travel outside of the city, but it is not as prevalent as it is from where I came.
I believe Houston has been a wonderful place to live for the past 3 years to jumpstart my career in scientific research, but I am eager to begin graduate school in the east this fall.

I love Houston. I moved back to Houston in 1999. The city is growing. Houston offers affordable housing, low cost of living, no state income tax, diverse culture, amazing food — the list goes on. As long as you don't mind some hot weather and honky-tonk, Houston is a wonderful place to live. Houston is home to world-famous clutch rockets, the Houston Texans, NASA, lush reserve parks, pristine bayous, and Queen Bey herself, Houston is one of the most diverse, charming and unique cities in the United States.
Houston is a pocket city—there’s pockets of safe neighborhoods nestled between unsafe neighborhoods. The number of panhandlers is much higher than other metros I’ve lived in, including Detroit. It isn’t a harmonious city, there’s thousands of sick, stray animals, and the people by and large are not friendly.
The traffic is difficult for many hours of the day. I'd like to see Shepherd improved and the congestion diverted in different ways that actually help - potentially more public transportation that's clean and efficient. Outside of fixing many potholes and road construction, it is very convenient in Houston to live next to everything from retail to food.
Houston is an incredibly diverse city where you can learn about new cultures. There's a lot of space at a fraction of a price when compared to other large cities. We love our baseball team and we love our food.
There is a wide variety of places to go and thing to see, including nature walks, museums, restaurants and many more things. It is filled with people of all kinds and it is great to see so many types of people, cultures, and beliefs all in one place.
Depending on where you live Houston can either be the worst or best place you ever live it has everything that you can get from everywhere and while living there everyday can be a new experience with it's vast size.
Houston is a fun place, with nice views and things for everybody. Since I've lived here, I still haven't found things to complain about.
I am going to a University in Houston because I live in corpus Christi and had to get out because of our personal problems.
I grew up here, so I'm naturally biased. It's a very diverse community, but depending on where you are, political views can shift right-wing or left-wing, if the politics of your peers matters to you.
Great city with major diversity but not for the weak on the highways ;)
This city has a lot to offer and you will be able to find various things of your liking.

I was born and raised in Houston. I've traveled outside of Houston but nowhere really feels as welcoming. There's places and opportunities for everyone as it's very diverse.
Plenty of places to get gluten-free food and lots of doctors to try and figure out health issues. Not a fan of all the jaywalking that takes place, the crosswalks are there for a reason.
