Finally, A Little Recognition For The City

By Chuck Newton

ADVERTISEMENTS

Houston I call the Houston area home.  I actually live in The Woodlands.  It just paid agreed to pay Houston a ton of money to be allowed to incorporate as its own town.  Since the money is coming from my tax dollars and HOA dues, I feel that The Woodlands might be getting a little too generous with my money.  I personally have no problem with Houston having control over my little bit of dirt.

I have always thought Houston is a wonderful place.  Now Kiplinger has named it the #1 Best City.  With a population of 5,542,048, a growth rate of 14.9%, with 31.3% of its workers working in the "creative class", a cost of living of only 88.1% of the national average, and income growth of 13.1% it is a little hard to overlook.  As Kiplinger states, "Not only does the Houston metro area lead the nation in job growth, but also its cost of living stands well below the national average. Housing prices run half those of other metro areas its size".

There is really a lot going for the city, especially if you enjoy humidity during the summer.

The energy capital of the World.  The leader in aerospace.  The largest medical center in the World.  Hey, three law schools (two of them public).  I wish the football team was a little better.

Welcome to Houston.
