Much of what I've seen of the Southeast and Midwest is so dreary and dull that even a visit to some of these places can be painful. When Walmart, cable TV and meth are your best options for entertainment, as is the case in many of these places, then you know you have a problem.
So don't presume that Houston is a definitive representative of the US any more than Hull is a prime exemplar of life in the UK. Location within a country matters, not just the country itself.

Equally dont presume that Houston is a definitive representation of Texas - much nicer than Hades!

[QUOTE=snowbunny]A German woman we met this past weekend said it was horrible and that she had hated living there, but likes living in the Hill Country west of Austin.

ahhh, the Hill Country- God's Country!!! The German woman ought to be happy there- there is a huge German community in Fredicksburg and New Braunfells (sp?).
One day I hope to move back there....

Find it more amenable here (the weather makes a huge difference), but can only reiterate what's already been said - the standard of living is better here, but the quality of life is worse.
