I actually have caught a couple reds and one 38 inch black drum off the road in Seabrook. However, that place is vast majority hardheads.

I’ve caught specks, reds and flounders in Texas City. Google maps tells me 48 minutes from downtown Houston.

I've lived in both.

I prefer Houston but only by a little.

Dallas is a LITTLE cleaner and safer. Houston has better food, nightlife, and entertainment.

Houston is better for me. It has a good mix of white collar and blue collar jobs and is more entrepreneurial friendly.

Its closer saltwater fishing and has better hunting areas close by IMO. I actually like greenery too, Dallas doesn't really have much of a tree canopy.

Houston by far

Dallas has:
worse weather
Less trees and looks uglier in the winter
The food scene is literally incomparable

I think the Dallas skyline sucks especially compared to a city of its size

Lacks soul, more concrete jungle like

False on both accounts

Mostly true

FTR, I find Atlanta worse than either, but I haven’t spent a ton of time there

Atlanta is geographically preferable.

I live in Montgomery County just north of Houston/Harris County. In the Houston area you have many trees, humidity almost as bad as BR/NO, occasional 100 degree days, and we seldom have ice storms.

DFW area, not so many trees, yearly ice storms, many more 100 degree days and you have to deal with those arrogant cowboy fans. Worse than Bama fans.

Eh? Unless you call “getting to freezing” an ice storm, there might have been like 3 significant winter precipitation events over the past decade

I prefer the people in Houston over those from most of the DFW area. However, there is so little tech and financial services in Houston, it's limiting career-wise (I do infosec, risk and compliance.) I"m stuck here until my kids go to college.

Also, Houston has Municipal Utility Districts (there may be five in one master planned community) that comprise about half of your taxes. But because they're not city or county taxes like that have in Dallas, we get far less nice shite like county sports complexes with 12 football fields, etc. I think I've been to at least six different ones on the North side of Dallas for Lacrosse. In Houston, we have a farking cricket complex because of all the Indians in Fort Bend County. Dallas property taxes are about 30% lower than Houston (I used Southlake, where Mark Cuban lives, as a comparison, and nearly threw up in my mouth when I saw how bad we were getting screwed.)

Dallas always makes me suspect JFK might have actually taken his own life.
