Heh. Fred and my wife are both trying to get me to move to Houston.
Tacoma's not so bad. We have a pulp mill and gangs and bullets just like a real city, but it's only around 200,000 people. On the plus side, there is Commencement Bay and spectacular Mt. Rainier. Plus it's quiet and easy to drive in, not like that big Seattle to the north (in which I unfortunately work).
But I love Texas almost as much as I love Montana. My eyes bugged out when I saw what our modest rambler here could buy in Houston. Some of those $300k homes would pass for a million in our area.
The hard part about Houston is the "city" part. Alas, in my line of work you almost need some kind of city, but I sure miss the 1,500 acres I grew up on.
