Basically this. If you are smart and resourceful you can get a good job in most big cities. It's the babbling blue collar idiots with GEDs like Lou Pai that a need a major metro area with an oil economy to supply them with a job.
Outside of Uchi, Houston's sushi is nothing to write home about.
Golf is for douchebags.

since i've been posting in this thread, statues haven't been mentioned once
I just mean the plethora of anti-NOLA threads that have arisen in the aftermath. Not that they didn't exist at all before but the rate has exploded recently. You can't tell me that's not related to the statues.

Yeah Louisiana is a screwed up place. I don't think anyone who has spent any time anywhere else would argue that.
Even so, NOLA is still my favorite city and I'll probably be here as long as I have a job here

You must be a blast to hang out with. In SA, you are a short drive to the Hill Country, a booming wine area, several recreational lakes and rivers.
So you can drive to cool stuff in SA but the city itself blows

You think oil patch blue collar labor is centered in the Houston area? Oh, what a scholar! Tell me more.

Great quality of life in NOLA. Not so much in Lake Charles.

I find it interesting that whenever there is a thread started about where to live in Houston, it's always the same responses .
Midtown if you're single
Rice village , West U, the Heights if you have money
Everything else that's not the hood is 30 to 45 mins from the city.
That tells me that Houston has similar problems to NOLA. Y'all just have more space to avoid the problems.

In a thread premised on quality of life in different locales, we should ignore the biggest direct driver of standard of living!

Those are unique to New Orleans ?

Houston has all that, you just have to sit in your car for an hour driving in from Katy with all the other schmucks

And there are other areas that aren't the most well-known spots in other areas of the city that aren't the hood and aren't 30-45 minutes away.

Far more to do than in any other city in the state area as I pointed out before.
Personally I love being in a place with a unique, fun loving culture that isn't too big yet has all the amenities of a city twice its size.
