Can the OP provide specific neighborhood/area?

I do not mind Houston. For what it is and where it is, beats crap out of Dallas.

I'm no Houston apologist, but you have no basis for this criticism. There are bad parts of Houston. It's the size of Connecticut. That's inevitable. But to say places like the Heights, Montrose, Upper Kirby, West U, River Oaks, Memorial, Uptown, etc. are shotholes is the height of arrogance and a bald faced lie.
If you're in Kingwood now, that was one of the hardest hit areas in Texas by Harvey. Perhaps you need to go to Monaco if you think Houston is a shithole. That may meet your expectations.

What’s everyone’s gripe with downtown? That it’s overrun with bums? Or that there isn’t a lot to do there? You’re not supposed to go downtown for anything other than work anyway. That’s what midtown, montrose, uptown, & the heights are for.
Also
at some of the people ITT saying the redeeming parts of Houston are kingwood and the woodlands. No wonder you geeks think it’s boring here, you have no idea what you’re doing or where to go.

What major city isn’t? I’ve been to Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, LA, New York, in the past few years and live in Austin and all have downtowns overrun with bums.

I have lived all over the Gulf South, including NOLA, and I have spent notable time in numerous cool kid hot spots (San Fran, Seattle, Denver, DC, DFW). I struggle with why people hate on Houston so much. It makes me think they just haven’t been out that much, as all those other cities I just mentioned have notable challenges, just like Houston.
Whether single or with family, all things considered, Houston is hard to beat.
- High to very high paying jobs in oil, finance, and health care;
- cheap housing relative to other big cities with hot economies;
- any type of entertainment you desire in pro sports, museums, ballet, opera, the rodeo, top concerts;
- great places to live for singles in the Heights, mid-town, Rice Village, etc. with walkable bars, great looking people, restaurants, shopping;
- great places to live with family in River Oaks, Fernwood, West U if you are rich...OR The Woodlands, Katy, Sienna, Kingwood if you are not where you can get very big, relatively cheap houses with essentially no crime, great walkable public schools, etc.
Yes, traffic and weather SUCK, but have these haters ever spent a winter in, and then tried to traverse, the NYC or Chicago metro?

Agreed. Homeless are everywhere, and much meaner, in Seattle, San Fran, Chicago, DC. At least the homeless in Houston seem to be friendly Texans for the most part.
