re: Why all the Houston hate here?

Houston is solid. Like Jacksonville without the beaches.

The hate is because LA is TX's little brother and they have an inferiority complex.

90% of LSU grads move to Houston because of it strong economy. Those stuck in LA are envious. Houston is big has a baseball team and loads more stuff to do than NOLA or BR. It even has a strong NOLA feel because of all the transplants.

Even Chicken runs TD from Houston. That says all you need.

It's where Louisianan's go to when they outgrow LA. That guy that said Houston was Louisiana's New York was kind of right.

^^Here is a prime example of the kind of shite that causes the hate. It's not that Houston is a hateful entity, it's people saying shite like this make you want to hate on it.

I'll be the first person to say that Louisiana sucks arse. And I'm all for living in a better city where the government cares about progress more than caring about pocketing the tax dollars and being a career politician. And I have lived in a different city and have that perspective first hand. But that being said, Houston is not some fricking mecca of civilization which provokes "jealousy". Come on...

Texas arrogance most likely. That and Enron ...

Houston was the first word spoken from the surface of the moon.Oil and gas industry protects America's economic independence. Dug out a bayou and created a port, more food variety than NOLA and better food at that, better infrastructure, schools, all major sports, better Universities private and public, more refined culture and better-looking women, although I'll concede yours are more whorish


so theres that

I can guarantee over half the country doesn't watch baseball. Anyone with a brain in America knows the Empire State Building in NYC, or the Sears Tower in Chicago. Everyone knows the Hollywood sign in LA.

Houston is bland.

Houston sure does seem to live rent free in many of your heads. Little bro syndrome is strong in many of you

I get all that.

It’s just not a place people want to visit and not a place people choose to move. I’d say more people are forced to move/live in Houston than choose to.

If you didn’t have to live in Houston, would you?

What about you Berg? It seems like you’re in New Orleans or Baton Rouge every weekend.

Where would you rather live?

Don’t you live in Houston because you have to?

Dude you live in New Orleans

I lived in Houston for many years, i’m originally from NOLA... i dont ‘hate’ Houston for sure, but i definitely dont have much love for it either.. the things i liked about it were that it’s a huge city, and i am a big city person.. so obviously if you’re someone who prefers a slower pace of life, or living on an acre with your closest neighbor a half mile away- you won’t like Houston.. also i liked that Houston is so close to BR that i was able to go home for every single LSU home game without breaking a sweat.. simply cant get that with any other large city............ The bad: Houston is so damn bland and generic.. granted, you can say that about a lot of cities that aren’t NOLA, Austin, San Fran etc.. but in all my years in Houston, whenever people visited from out of town, i really struggled to find things to do.. i mean unique things you cant do in 50 other cities.. there are some good restaurants, but again, that’s every city.. besides that, i guess they could drive an hour to NASA(?) or maybe go to Discovery Green(?) whoopty-doo, a park downtown.... i really liked the area of Houston we lived in, River Oaks, and we made a killing when we sold our house there- but honestly, every city has great areas, and can be liveable.. but Houston just didnt do it for me in a lot of ways, and i wouldn’t recommend.

New Orleans is a fun city

But the posters who antagonize others as if New Orleans is Manhattan are hilarious
