I see a lot of young Black Millionaires and genuine hood people. I love the accent,the women, the food. I love the whole Texas culture. Shout out Houston and every other place the represents Texas. 💯

This comprehensive list has definitely convinced me that Houston is where I need to be! Lived in Dallas for a number of years, but never felt welcomed and also missed a feeling of black culture. Always felt so welcomed whenever I’ve visited Houston!

I moved here 7 months ago and I love it here!! They are not full, Houston is huge. Those that are complaining about people moving should move themselves or take it up with their local government and tell them to stop building.

The problem is most cities in America that are built much better than Houston are either too expensive for the average Black American or has a very low Black population. Houston biggest cons is the incompetent infrastructure/traffic/ endless sprawl and weather. Those are reasons that make me want to move out of Houston at times. But than I look at other options and at my late 30s with a family, staying here at least till my kids graduate might be the best move. Now if you don’t care about predominantly White spaces and cost of living than there’s much better cities to move to in Houston. The average Black American though clearly prefers cities that offer economic opportunities, affordability and Good size black culture and representation. Or perhaps more Black Americans should move to smaller cities.

It’s a lot of businesses and nice places for black and different cultures as well, third ward is in the east end of downtown if you want black neighbors with hot real-estate and being able to walk downtown to clubs and amazing hotels and sporting events it’s a great place for you.

I like how she calmly and ever-so smoothly threw in the home base for 2 of Americas Military bases “servicing the cities population”😩 at the end.😭

Houston the only place on the map or something??? Let's consider some other places please, too many people running this city in the ground

That's how I feel about Atlanta. Everyone and they mamma moved here.

Born and raised had my kids here been all over the country Htown is one of the most diverse the food is great we have communities where your neighbors may be the colors of the rainbow and we are also LGBTQ friendly. Job opportunities. A great medical center museums art district etc. oh and check out the Buffalo Soldiers museum. But we are not without our share of issues & by that I mean not just those who commit crimes are packing guns & road rage is out of control. You'll never see police on the freeways because they're to busy handling shootings deaths probably. Don't honk at people they may shoot you. A car is a must unless you live in certain areas...so if you're used to a good transit system or rail well... keep in mind our city houses more people than Alabama and is rather large so when relocating for work think about transportation for work. Housing prices are going up fast. But I still love it here it's my hometown-welcome to Htown if you make it yours.

I had the privilege of visiting Houston last month on my Southern Tour. I had been to Houston in the late 70s and it was was nothing like it is now. As Houston has a very large African American presence it was obvious they are not as progressive. While many blew me away with their business ideas I did not see their businesses thriving or supported. I was told it was because of the day of the week. However the weather and the distance to get to a venue were equally as bad it made me wonder about the climate change issue. Houston is a Oil town and the people there not only did not care about the future of the environment they actually knew nothing about it. The cost of living was lower in the suburbs just like every other city. But restaurant price were very high. My neice was discriminated against in the Woodlands and was not allowed into a roof top Lounge clearly with white patrons that was clearly playing R&B and Hip Hop music. Overall the weather and driving required is way too much for me.

Yea i live in the Woodlands i have never had issues out here like that but as far as the weather etc. I totally agree. I do think there are some black businesses that are thriving though.

Progressive ? You mean you’re disappointed they weren’t overly liberal?

I have lived in Houston since 1983 when it wasn’t even on the map. Houston has transformed into one of the most diverse cities in the country. Not only more affordable and opportunities for blacks. But also less about class or status like the in north or east coast.

Negative, African Americans shouldn’t move to Houston; Houston sits in the hurricane belt. Also, African Americans shouldn’t want to live in Texas period and should be focused owning property outside of the US.

We been here 400 years. Black Americans should feel comfortable moving anywhere in the United States since we built it. I've considered moving out of the states but a lot of countries aren't developed as we are. Maybe south Africa or Ghana but even at that America is still more developed. Alot of African immigrants come here.
