Tell us that you know nothing about Houston without saying so.

Prove me wrong. Give just 3 things.

Leave NOLA for Houston?

What is there to do in Houston as a visitor opposed to Nola?
A lot more, actually.

Say what you will about Nola but it has character and a long history. It’s one of America’s favorite cities. Always has been always will be. People love visiting New Orleans to experience it’s distinct culture and uniqueness.
This paragraph right here is at the root of the problem. And the worst part is that it isn't even true any more. Fewer and fewer people feel this way about NO, and many have no interest to come to a city that puts them at risk of being a crime victim. They are going to places like Nashville and Vegas instead.
"Distinct Culture and Uniqueness" isn't always a good thing. The best parts of this might be great for a weekend. They are not great for everyday life. NOLA is and always will be the city of great unrealized potential. Katrina was an opportunity. An opportunity to reset NOLA on a course to compete with comparable cities in so many categories. Not only did the citizens of NOLA fail to embrace that opportunity, they doubled down on the absolute worst elements that have always plagued NOLA. Its one thing to tolerate mediocrity, but to affirmatively embrace utter failure as if its a badge of honor is something else entirely. At this point, my hope is that New Orleans gets gentrified to the hilt and all that "uniqueness" gets priced out.

Great restaurants, professional sports (that you can attend without fear of your vehicle being vandalized), museums, shopping, very nice in-close neighborhoods, etc.

Nola has great restaurants
You’re overestimating the difference in NRG and Minute Maid areas and the super dome SKC area
Museums? I guess Houston has a few? Not really a big draw.
Shopping? Retail is dying. Majority of this is done online.
Very nice in-close neighborhoods? Not sure what that is supposed to mean. Nola has plenty of old neighborhoods in the garden district and lake view that are the same as whatever river oaks has to offer.
Just not a huge believer that Houston is leaps and bounds superior to Nola. It’s better sure but it’s also 7+ million vs 1.2 million. Houston is just too damn big. Too many people. It’s got it’s moments but damn it’s too much.

Then go live in Fulshear, or the many, many, many communities in "Houston" like it.
Houston is not limited to what is inside 99. Yeah, frick you Baton Rouge, that's three loops we have.

Dude, just drop it. You’re obviously uninformed on this topic.

Houston has 27 Fortune 500 companies that have deemed it a nice enough place to headquarter. NOLA has one and it’s a power company that survives off government regulation.

These communities blow and have too damn many people too.

Yeah I’d take being in houston any day over Nola.
Nola and Atalanta are two places I try to avoid at all costs.

You need to improve your sentence structure if you want to keep calling people “dumb counts” on the internet

So a wall of text to say look at me I'm too old to be on my own, so I am going to live near my adult children; but need to blame something else instead of admitting that I need help.

Moving to Houston is one of the bravest and toughest things a human can do

It’s not a liberal Conservative issue like so many keep espousing here it’s really more black and white than that
