This is close to how I really feel about Houston - love/hate. There is a lot to love but there is also a lot to dislike. It took me several years of driving freeways around DFW where traffic is a lot less stressful to unlearn all the aggressive driving habits that I picked up as survival skills on Houston freeways.

If I needed to live there again I would carefully scout everything so that I had an easy way in and out and to and from work. That more than anything would help make like in Houston manageable.
