Heaven, Hell or Houston
We're in the midst of our summertime hell right now, with endless days of 95 degree weather, with humidity so thick you could stick a sponge outside and wring the water out of it. Stealing the line from the popular Christmas song, It's the most horrible time of the year.
Houston is a really bad place. Stay away, this place is doomed.

I have lived all over this country after growing up in Houston. It never ceases to amaze me how so many people hate Houston even though they have never been there or their experience is limited to a layover. Its some sort of herd mentality; a badge of honor to blast Houston or Texas in general.
Poor dumb sheeple . . . . .
I grew up in Houston, but live in the Northeast (NJ, to be exact) and work in NYC. We're having the same weather here this summer that Houston notmally has. I hear grumbling all the time, but I take it in stride.
So, both of you grew up in Houston, choose to live somewhere else, but Houston is great. is that your point?
Hey, count me as one who grew up in a similar humidity hellhole, and Houston isn't that bad a place to live, or so say my two cousins who live in that area. On my visits there, it seemed to be OK, at least the old part of the city. It's just the weather that, er, kinda sucks this time of year. No, not kinda. It really sucks. Mega.
That said, I just got back from a trip to Louisiana to install, yes in August, a roof. Now THAT sucked. Back now in the DC summer, this air outside today at lunchtime feels like air conditioning in comparison!
People say you get used to the Houston summer, but having lived on the Gulf Coast without air conditioning in my younger days, I never could acclimatise.
Here's wishing you an early autumn in Houston. (Houston style autumn, that is, 90 degrees but dew point of only 60.)
I'm glad that I live in California. Great weather all year long.
