@@REALHOUSTONLIVING yeah it’s awful, I’ve used this therapy lamp the last couple of years. I spent some good money on it and I swear by it! But the wife and I are just ready for a change. I absolutely have always loved the heat and hate when it starts getting colder. As far as the humidity goes ? Idk, Maines could get pretty bad during the summers believe it or not, so I’m not completely foreign to it. Montana on the other hand is pretty dry, well Billings metro area anyways.
@@KevinBruceRoy316 link the lamp! Let us know if we can help you if you decide to make the move to Houston :) you get used to the humidity after awhile.
I hate when some people say that they like "seasons". But when it gets really cold, snowy, icy or when tornado season is happening, they are the first to complain about the weather where they live. You do realize those things are a part of living in a seasonal climate. Also, if you have been in Houston for eight years, how do you not know the goings on around town? Houston has museums, great shopping, NASA, it isn't too far from the gulf if you like going to the water and there are various nightclubs. I know Houston doesn't have the glitz and glamour of New York City or Los Angeles, but not everyone is looking for that. Especially with the hefty price tag of those cities. I have spent time in Houston and yes, the traffic is a beast, but you learn to get used to it. If Houston is such a bad place, then why are all these people moving there?
Thanks for watching and for providing some insight! Houston definitely has its own unique charm. These reasons are major for some and minor for others, but we’re all here to share our experiences 🤜 🤛
Some of the best museums in the US are in Houston, you have NASA!, Galveston a few minutes away, there is MASSIVE FOREST around the city, Memorial Park has some nature you will not find anywhere else in the world (primitive forest), most major concerts happen in Houston. Art, culture, food, multiculturalism,…my man, you should go out more.
I don’t disagree! There’s still plenty to do in Houston. But for me, the museums and Galveston get old fast and not to mention they can be a long drive. I’m glad you found activities to do though! What’re some of your favorites?
Well, aside of museums (which I don’t think you can get bored of…There’s an infinite amount of cultural activities posted weekly, all the music around the city (most of it for free and in really cool areas like the heights), now all the Christmas activities (impossible to go to all of them with my kid), running/biking in memorial, medical, the heights, all the bike paths and bayous, the woodlands…, sports you can practice outside thanks to the warm weather (rugby, football, soccer baseball, volleyball, dodgeball (even in bouncy trampolines), tennis, golf, the Texas Rock Gym (we love it), Kemah boardwalk, beer festivals, the Rodeo!, …man, for real, I could keep going for another 2000 lines.
I cannot hide I love this place, and of course I also recognize it can be messy on the roads, too hot (I cried when I first landed here and I crossed the plane’s doors, but you get used to it in some time), even dangerous if you don’t know the area you are in. But my friend, it is also one of the most multicultural, fun, affordable, welcoming, active, charming cities I’ve lived in (and I have lived in three different countries and some different cities and towns).
@@RabinoJoe absolutely agreed! Check out my other video where I talk about all the things I love about Houston! You may find we aren’t that different 😄
No denying this one. Luckily, I personally haven’t had any run-ins with crime yet, but I think it’s all about being in the right place at the right time and avoiding rougher areas
One of the best school districts in Houston according to Niche.com! Kind of far from downtown, but Katy is developing to the point where you have everything you need within Katy
@@ag2847 Willis is definitely an up-and-coming area but it’s really far from downtown Houston. If you’re okay with that, then it’s a great, affordable area 👍
@@REALHOUSTONLIVING would you say it Willis Tx will be an upscale community? I’m looking at a KB home there. I’m also interested in a home at Water Crest in Conroe.
do you live right in Town or suburb? how about gardening?? if one has an acre of land for sure snakes would be there. I have watch so many videos of it. May be living in Towns protects you?@@REALHOUSTONLIVING
@@mpoweru4974 that’s a good question and point! I’ve always lived in town with minimal acreage so that could definitely be part of it. I can see it being more of an issue with more rural areas.
Galveston beaches are probably the closest and those are okay in my opinion. I grew up on Michigan beaches and it’s nothing compared to those. It’s great for fishing if you’re into that though!
One of your points you brought up was there was nothing to do….hard to believe that especially with a city that possess 3 major sports teams (although only 1 has been successful in recent years). But anyway are there any places around Houston that plays live music, I’m not talking about concerts, but like small intimate venues similar to what you would see on the strip in Nashville?
I’m not a big sports fan myself, but there’s definitely plenty to do for those who are! The one I can think of off the top of my head is House of Blues, which is a dueling piano type bar/venue. I’m sure there are plenty more though! Where are you from? Are you from Nashville?
@@REALHOUSTONLIVING Nah I’m not from Nashville but I visited Nashville before, visited several places actually. I’m from Virginia, considering a relocation to Houston at some point.
Tnx, tnx, tnx -Houston doesn’t need to be crowded more than it is now. Everybody -find some other city -no, no, no-some other state. Lol The people in Houston used to be super kind, polite, just wonderful then -a whole world of different people moved here from different states and different countries. I love that we are multicultural -it teaches us to have patience with everyone. Some are still learning. Btw -I’m an immigrant too. 😂

I hate the seasons…. I’m from Maine, now living in Montana. I’m thinking warm is very nice. I get so depressed in the winter months
The grey winter months were the worst. Seasonal depression was definitely a real thing

When driving in houston take advantage of feeder roads
Most definitely, at least until they get congested too 😅
It' s funny how I have the absolute opposite experience than this guy's in Houston, except the part of the size of the city.

Yessss love the vid and tips!!
Thanks Faith! Glad you liked it 😄
Perfect place to move if you are from Florida but hate the amusement parks for what you claim. Nice video.
I appreciate hearing that! Thank you!
People say dont move to Houston but they live there really😮😮😮😮😮
It’s really great for some people but only if they can survive the not-so-great parts
houston traffic is not the worst... go to NY and see... i lived there 25 years...
That’s fair. I’ve visited New York City a few times and the driving there is very stressful!
Nothing to? ??museums... festivities...etc
Museums are fun for like a weekend and can sometimes be quite a drive depending where you live, but they can definitely be a fun activity!
what about SNAKES in houses in Houston???
You know, I hear about this and gators a lot, but in my ~9 years of living here, I’ve yet to see either one of them in or near my house!
do you live right in Town or suburb? how about gardening?? if one has an acre of land for sure snakes would be there. I have watch so many videos of it. May be living in Towns protects you?@@REALHOUSTONLIVING
@@mpoweru4974 that’s a good question and point! I’ve always lived in town with minimal acreage so that could definitely be part of it. I can see it being more of an issue with more rural areas.
thats perfect for me the no season...
If you’re from NY, I agree! I used to live in Michigan and I’m glad there’s no more winters here in Houston!
No beach close to Houston?
Galveston beaches are probably the closest and those are okay in my opinion. I grew up on Michigan beaches and it’s nothing compared to those. It’s great for fishing if you’re into that though!

He’s not lying I didn’t like when I lived there it’s so boring don’t believe the hype
Don't consider moving here you'll hate it biggest mistake of my life
It’s not so bad! It’s better for some than others 🤷♂️
It’s not America we should build a wall
😳

Thanks for watching and glad to have you here in Houston!
There is nothing to do in Houston? Lmao
There’s still things to do, but maybe not as much as you’d think
It’s boring
