    I agree with everything said. Moved here in 2021 but from another city in TX. I love the food here. And you’re correct, it’s diverse in numbers but people do vibe with their own. But overall I love it.

    People need to stop with the Texas is cheap stuff cause its not. Yes its cheaper than Cali but not for the midwest. Yes there is no state income tax but you'll make up for that with rent, high property taxes, and high home and auto insurance. Also with Houston you have to keep in mind the floods and hurricanes they get there. People shouldn't rely too much on youtube videos, articles and "where everyone is headed to" and really research these places before moving to them.

    I think it's the areas you go to as far as diversity..I haven't really been to any all black spots but I am in the Katy area and just randomly go to places. Don't really care who is there..maybe because I am black and from New Orleans so I am not impressed with all black everything because I grew up around all black everything lol

      Overall if you’re going to move to Houston, you have to have a network (where you went to college and grad school, fraternity/sorority connections and who your family has ties with). That will dictate the type of women you encounter. Also note, ppl in Texas especially black people have real money and real assets. $100k is laughable in certain circles. Be authentic and you won’t have any issues meeting people.
