Well, you shouldn't. That's the typical ignorant comment made by
someone who is either talking about a Houston from the 70's or 80's, or
is referring to just the industrial east-side cities of Pasadena,
Channelview, etc.... which are hardly representative of Houston as a
whole. The Houston of today is quite nice... if it wasn't it wouldn't
have gotten the SuperBowl or made the 2012 Olympic finalist cities.
