I’ve been in Houston for 40 years, stay where you are don’t come. The cockroaches get so big, we’ve adopted them as pets, put leashes on them and take them for walks. The weather is hot, the flooding and hurricanes are something, toughen up butter cup.
It wasn't snowing...it was a 5 day long ice storm that only happens every 137 years. But thanks for playing. I noticed there were NO outages the past week when it got to 10 degrees this week. BUt the power was out in Portland and all over the north.
Texas is it's own country, it's similar to like Egypt with a system that pharaoh operates. This state does what it wants to do when it wants. It's literally like bondage when living here. You're a slave. Texas is also a state where you get tuck on a spiders web when you do get here. In the beginning it has a honey moon stage, until about 2 years in and then you start to fill the enslavement. It will make you a robot and your people from your home town will see the change good and bad in you. This state is great for those that are use to the fast money making life. I do not see this state as a place where you can settle down and raise a family, it's a "go get it" and "work work work" type of state. Sitting down and relaxing is considered lazy and not taking care or your responsibility. Everything IS big here, including people's PRIDE, EGO, and the amount of cliques is insane. This state is only good for those that can make friends easily, and or you have family already here when you move here, because this state, especially in DFW area and Houston, are really about cliques. It's that way in all the cities in Texas really but the more bigger ones are more prone to it. The police officers are the same as up north. They are not the nicest. Some are but most are not. and in certain place, yes you can get a ticket for speeding on the highway, I did. Being here after a while you can become more grimy and hard hearted because you have to get with the society which I hate being a person like that. That's why I am planning to move elsewhere.
I think what's happening in Houston is happening in all big cities. Not to mention, Houston was in the news for high STD rates. Even some of the newborn babies were born with STDs.
@EJIMANnenaNgozi I agree. It was all over the internet. You should have a show about it. Blacks in America, in general, have the highest rates of STDs, out of wedlock births. Blacks, in general, don't practice safe dex or birth control. Infact, blacks are now responsible for killing more Blacks through homicides, abortions. Way more than the police. But no one talks about it. This is the show you have. Having sex in the black community is a risky endeavor. And for men, dating and marriage has been very risky when considering current state of affairs. Considering black women are the least married, most obese, overweight. And have the most children out of wedlock, you should have shows about this. There is a silver lining, black have become largest class of investors in the USA. Who knew? That's another interesting topic for your show. I'll subscribe to you for a bit to see what you're going to talk about. Blacks provide a lot of material.
Here we go with the new women bashing. Black women are having these kids with black men. Please also bring statistics including black men in jail and education level.
Ive always said that about Houston heat. Most people work jobs in the A/C so what's going on outside is irrelevant. Plus at night time when most people go out, it isn't bad because it cools down in the evening. Give me heat over cold weather because summer is over after three months, while cold weather can be from October through April in some states. Plus when it's cold, it gets worse at night, which limits people wanting to go out.
I agree 100%. Rather be hot anyday. By night time it cools down just need to dress accordingly. Cold weather is gloomy and makes me want to stay in! Ill take 2-3 months of heat vs 6 months of cold any day!
Hello Ngozi, thanks for this video. Please can you make a video of things you like about Houston? I am coming to Houston for school later in the year and would like to hold some positives about Houston. Thank you.
Houston is Beautiful in the spring March 30th to May 20th about that time It is also beautiful in Late September to about the 1st week in November. if you live around places where there is a lot of trash on near restaurants then yeah your going find roaches about the size of baby mice in the summer time you better be indoors between 2pm and 6pm if you don't have air in your car driving at that time of day God Help you
I lived here for 17 years (college, work & all the nine years) another 19 years in the East coast - Boston area precisely (work & then retirement) & back here for the last 8 years. Bar none. I will take Texas over the north. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Different strokes for different people 😂
Great video! I’m looking at moving to Houston. I see some apartments in SW Houston renting in the 700-800 range for a small one bedroom. Should I be skeptical of these places, or is that the norm for the SW Houston area? The prices sound too good to be true, coming from the east coast where the cost of living is higher.
SW Houston...you better learn 100 languages. I would recommend far north Houston. You'll find a 2 and 2 brand new with pools and palm trees 1200 sq ft. for about $1300 and private parking or even a garage. Do that on the east coast....cost you $3500 month.
1. Hate the heat It was a cruel summer . I have been here since 2005 I’m ex military my husband and I both this is his hometown he wanted to retire here I hated can’t wait til I retire next year 2. Traffic and road rage and Construction 3. Hate Bugs. Roaches this city is dirty Voted number one filthiest city in the nation 4. property taxes 10 percent every year 5. The people here are crazy absolutely. Would hate to have to find anyone in this city Nope .
The decline and decay of the West. Wait another 20 years when things get even worse. I was shocked to see videos of Americans on fixed incomes leaving to retire in foreign countries. The US is now just as expensive as any third world country. People here just live in debt.
You forgot to mention that you can’t go the speed limit or else you’ll get ran over.
So your saying you have to speed to keep up?
@@EJIMANnenaNgozi Yes
Your correct! Plus no police on freeways so its easy to speed. Thanks for watching!
Yes indeed, these Texans are wild, aggressive drivers; EVERYBODY speeds like their in a rush 24/7
I have been here 10 years.. spot on.. you have to be TOUGH to live here…
Houston is not for the weak! Thanks for watching!
I died when I saw the roach on the thumbnail 😂😂💀 what's understood don't have to be explained!!

I changed my mind about Texas when I saw them shutting electric off on people when it was 20 and snowing.
Yeah were off the grid so things work a bit diff in Texas. Thanks for watching!

That's literally the only time that has happened in my life and I'm 40.
A power outage is different from "shutting electric off"

You spoke the truth about Htown.
Thanks for watching!
I’m coming from Portland Oregon, talk about change lol, but I can’t wait! Thank you 😊
Your welcome! Welcome to Houston 😃
I grew up here and im glad to see you folks go home !!! Dont come back okkkk 👀
Thanks for watching!
@@EJIMANnenaNgozi Girl Bye !!!!!!
Houston and Dallas are sort of rough places to live.
Why do you say this?
Depends on WHERE. Remember, the outskirts (suburbs) of Houston are great. I’m talking about the Woodlands, Kingwood, Sugarland, Pearland, etc.
I think what's happening in Houston is happening in all big cities. Not to mention, Houston was in the news for high STD rates. Even some of the newborn babies were born with STDs.
Wow this is so unfortunate!

Hi. Check out my Houston,TX playlist. I have a few videos about why you should move here 😀

From NYC here.. looking to transfer to Houston. Loving the videos 👋🏽
Thank you! Hope your subscribed and watching the Houston playlist
Everything you stated is true I lived there for two miserable years and I finally was able to leave Texas.
Oh wow. What part of texas were you in?
We are glad you left as well. Don't come back even if you have to.
@@EJIMANnenaNgozi 5th ward.
I think your sister will like Dallas if she prefers Charlotte.... Dallas is mellow but still lit tho but chill and close to Houston
Yes Dallas def reminds me of Charlotte!
@@EJIMANnenaNgozi ❤️
Hey Ngozi, looking good Hun 😉
Thank you ☺️
If you can't make it in Houston TX you can't make it nowhere
I lived here for 17 years (college, work & all the nine years) another 19 years in the East coast - Boston area precisely (work & then retirement) & back here for the last 8 years. Bar none. I will take Texas over the north. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Different strokes for different people 😂
Agreed!
Y’all should start doin lifestyle vlogs
Will you watch them? LOL
@@EJIMANnenaNgozi don’t be fake I watch all yall stuff
Like show what y’all do and stuff idk nun king or crazy different stuff will attract different people
Great video! I’m looking at moving to Houston. I see some apartments in SW Houston renting in the 700-800 range for a small one bedroom. Should I be skeptical of these places, or is that the norm for the SW Houston area? The prices sound too good to be true, coming from the east coast where the cost of living is higher.
SW is more affordable but some parts are a bit sketchy imo. You can start off there then move later? Id recommend visiting the area first.
SW Houston...you better learn 100 languages. I would recommend far north Houston. You'll find a 2 and 2 brand new with pools and palm trees 1200 sq ft. for about $1300 and private parking or even a garage. Do that on the east coast....cost you $3500 month.
May you recommend any top tier internet providers?
Tachus fiber optic internet.
You did not say 3-4% property taxes in the suburbs? 😲
I sure did! And thats on what your house is valued at. Not what you bought it for! Thanks for watching.
Stay there all your life
What is with TX and these roaches? Austin in the Summer? They move in wid out asking.
Heard Houston is shaped like a bowl,so it will flood easily.
Beatiful is not how I would describe Houston.. this place is dirty
Some parts are but not all. Great architecture. Lovely city!
