Search Results for: Skyline District

For all the Houston haters that keep on annoying me everytime saying “but Houston is ghetto” or “Dallas has a nicer skyline”. The two statements is so wrong and old school and proves you have never been to Houston. But here is 20 other reasons why Dallas can never be better than the Texas giant city🥰 Yall can keep dreaming that you are better knowing deep in you its not true LOL!

1. We have less homelessness behind Austin, San Antonio and Dallas (exactly in that order). Houston Metro ranks 4th in homelessness from Texas’ four largest cities per capita per 10,000 residents. In fact, Houston has reduced its homeless problem thanks to local government policies such as affordable housing programs for low income families.

2. We are not only the most diverse city in Texas. But we have been named in the past three years as the most culturally diverse city in the entire country. Houston is home to the nation’s third largest concentration of consular offices representing 86 nations.

3. We have better education, upper level education universities and more recognizable than any Dallas school. We have University of Houston and Rice, also known as an Ivy League level school, the only one in the South that is not in New England. I have never heard someone say “I want to go to SMU!”

4. Houston is home to the world’s Texas Medical Center the world’s largest medical center/campus of research and healthcare institutions.

The Texas Medical Center employs one of the very largest health care workforces, numbering over 73,600 individuals. As a leader in the industry, Houston ranks 1 in the healthcare sector in the US. Houston is home to the world’s best medical schools, cancer care clinics, psychiatric treatment centers, air emergency services, and long term acute care providers in the U.S.

6. Houston is only 45 minutes to the coast! We are not landlocked and have access to some lakes and the beach. For tropical plants lovers: Houston can grow palm trees and other tropical vegetation thanks to our climate. Dallas can’t and has to use fake ones for “appeals” (Look at Galleria Dallas mall as an example, fake palms everywhere).

7. Only Texan city with a Chinatown, Little India and a Midtown district which contains a large concentration of some of the best nightlife that Texas has to offer. Again, diversity!

Houston’s Museum District offers a range of museums, galleries, and art and cultural institutions, including the City’s major museums. Approximately 4 million people visit institutions in the Museum District every year. The Houston Museum District is one of the largest museum campuses in the country. It includes 20 institutions within walking distance of one another.

10. Before anyone comes up with the misinformed “dAlLAs iS mOrE uPsCaLe tHaN hOuStoN”

Oh please, Houston has more upscale neighborhoods than both Dallas and Austin combined. Piney Point Village, River Oaks, West University, Uptown’s Post Oak, Greater Memorial, just to name a couple.
