We live and learn. You can only do what’s in your best interest at THAT current time. I’m from New Orleans and moved to Houston frm 2015-2017 then went back home. Five yrs later and I’m moving back to HTX. Ppl change and our circumstances/situations change as well. Luv your vids and best of luck on your life journey.
This is very interesting and I agree ! It’s def a timing thing. Things are forever changing s as me you’re right who know and thank you I wish you the same !!
Definitely, I was raised in the boot and took a job in New Orleans about a year 1/2 ago... at this point everyday is about getting bacc home to the H! @brianadiasvlog definitely needed more insight from a native, you were living in THE WRONG AREA lol n you right, none but white folks around there... funny hearing your comments about digging Sugarland/Pearland or even Katy because they are def better spots. If you ever go back (for reference) Missouri City/Stafford/Pearland are southside suburbs (SW) for "US" lol the Nawf is kinda NE from Willowbrook to Atascocita
I agree with much of what you said. There are so many gloomy days in Houston, everything is so spread out which makes the simplest tasks take forever, and it’s always crowded. That said, your point about figuring out WHERE to live is key. There are so many options in Houston. After 2 years in Houston, I’m ready to live on the outskirts for (hopefully) a better experience.
I would say houston was fun up until i graduated high school but as you get older it becomes extremely boring because the only things to do are meet up at clubs and bars lol. Theres literally nothing else that people do they stay inside or go to the bar. If the bar or club scene is not for them they stay inside their home watching tv. Then your only goal becomes getting into a relationship because theres nothing else to do and moving to katy to purchase a 3 bed 3 bath home. Im moving to california next month
@@itslitallday4361 houston is cheaper on paper but the wages are also low so it gets expensive and things add up so a lot of people here struggle. I was in Randalls supermarket today and the entire line was held up at 5 self checkouts because everyones card was getting declined and this was for less than 10 items.
If you’re from Houston and have food recommendations or great areas for ppl to live please feel free to comment below. However if you’re from Houston, feel free to ignore HOW I FEEL. Not everyone’s gonna like HOUSTON and that okay 💕 learn to relax, if someone is making a decision with their life. I promise it should not affect you one bit. I’m not the first person who rather not live in Houston and I won’t be the last. It’s gonna be okay.
I've lived in Houston for many years, so I agree with much of what your saying. But, I was surprised that you said the food wasn't good. Can you share a few places where you ate and didn't like the food? I also didn't notice gloomy days, but you are on point with the humidity and unpredictable weather.
@@MissTXTee too many to name. I’ve had better food in Canada New Orleans and Atlanta my opinion … If it’s not summer in Houston it’s gloomy. For me and my friend it stuck out A Lot being that we come from the Sunshine state where the sun is always shining possibly. It was mainly food chains I enjoy at home and some other places ppl referred us. Not sure of a lot names because it wasn’t anything to remember!
Yeah the food is pretty bad in Houston. People from Texas don’t see it cuz it’s all they know, and the idea is Houston is so big you can always find somewhere good. But the thing is you really have to work to find the good spots or it’s going to taste bad, or even make you sick.
I’ve been here five years. I NEEDED to go from Florida too. Same, after a few months, I hated being here. Cool friends, dating isn’t really a problem, but there’s something missing and I can’t pinpoint one things. Traffic, not a pedestrian friendly city, car dependency through the roof, NOBODY walks. The only thing to do for fun is go to a lounge, bar or club. Nobody from anywhere else what’s to visit Houston. I’m going back to Florida soon too. More expensive, yes! Better lifestyle, YES!
Houston can be a culture shock. Texas in a whole. It's different in every region of the state. San Antonio is nice and the hospitality is on point. Houston can be hostile depending on where you are SE and SW side. Most ppl are dry as hell or nice as hell. It's a lot to do if you are in the mix. Black people tend to deal with family and cliques for the most part. Trail riding, bike clubs, zydeco events and car clubs are big. I respect your opinion and it ain't for everybody.
You people don't seem to realize that Houston is the FOURTH largest city in the United States. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, HOUSTON. If you're from a small city, there typically is usually ONE culture of people, so there is usually a centralized place where black people kick it and socialize. Houston is too big for that and there are literally dozens of subcultures here. The people that are into trail rides and zydeco are mostly Louisiana transplants, they have their own music, food, dance, style of dress and even language. It's hard to fall into that culture because it goes back centuries, it's big fun to watch but unless you're a charismatic person, you won't feel embraced even though they are some of the nicest and friendliest people. Then there are the true Houstonians who keep to the Wards, South and Northsides of Houston, these people tend to be more blue collar type townsy type black people. They tend to keep to themselves, they don't really travel far outside of their neighborhoods. They like simple living and prefer hole in the wall type places. Those people are oftentimes misunderstood as stand offish but in reality they are just simple people that don't want to be judged for liking the BYOB type spots. Ask a coworker or something, they tell you where all the spots are. There is a bougie crowd but you'll rarely see those people, they have their places, wine bars, etc;. Your best bet for socializing and meeting people is church, the radio stations and the internet. Listen to 90.9, 102.1, 97.9 and 93.7 those are the stations that will tell you about ALL the events happening in the city. The first two are usually for the more mature, the last two are the young hip hop crowd events. Next is the cheat code, GOOGLE MAPS, if you search on Google Maps "black owned restaruants" it will literally show you a list of all restaurants with a tag that says, "Identifies as black owned". Create a list in Google Maps are add them to the "Want To Visit" list and start visiting. That way you can read reviews, see photos and see if it's in your budget range. You won't like them all but in the process you will find spots that you'll frequent and come back to, others you may never want to go back...That's the charm of Houston, with so many options, you can literally build your own little oasis. You will meet a lot of people, people in Houston like to eat and a lot of restaurants turn into mini clubs at night. If you're here or coming soon, I recommend KISS restaurant and Phil and Dereks both are excellent places to go vibe out and tap into the scene and talk to people about places to go, both have live music on some nights and a diverse crowd of people. The fun won't come to you like it does in smaller cities, you have to look for it, I gaurantee you it's here.
I've never heard anyone say they couldn't find any good food in Houston, there's so many hundreds restaurants. And also super diverse. There's China town, Little India, lots of Caribbean and African restaurants and communities. .It sounds like you only ventured the West Side/Katy You definitely should have explored more areas. Washington Ave, Westheimer, Midtown, Uptown, Pearland-518, Almeda, Montrose District
I have. I’ve been making HOUSTON content for 3 years def came across many ppl 💕 so far as Caribbean food there, I hated it but again that was my experience! Even if I was on the west side trying food it should of been good period.. I’ve def had better in New Orleans Canada GA Etc. Just by simple visiting. But thanks for the recommendations it can def help someone else.
@@stephaniepena1903 Exactly, and Houston was named one of the top foodie cities in America several years in a row... but people like what they like, lol
I’m 25 right now and I just moved here in HTX a week ago from NYC! Girl I’m all alone too. Our stories are so similarrrrr, my boyfriend is coming down here in December and I’m figuring life out as of currently 😂
I’ve visited Texas and honestly I didn’t like it. I had relatives there but never visited again. They have since moved out. The humidity was awful. It just has a whole different vibe then I am used to. It’s not for everyone.
Exactly it’s not, it is very hot and humid there .. my point of view is to point out my truth.. so ppl are aware of certain things. Everything isn’t gonna be great & perfect! Thank you for your experience!
I live in NYC and I love my city but I’m getting older and I want to live somewhere calmer. I went to ATL after college and it was cool. I came back home had fun taking advantage of being in the city and now I’m ready to settle down. The cost of living is becoming overwhelming because no matter how much money I make I still feel stagnant here because it’s so expensive.
I'll say this if one moves to a state for experience and not for opertunity you will be disappointed because senation vibe is only momentary but if your transition is for to have better or opertunity you'll appreciate it and continue to grow I moved to Houston 4 years ago and within 4 years God has tremendously blessed me and I have no complaints.
Mom here - moving to Orlando with my children in two months from Baltimore! Florida is amazing. Love the beach and the palm trees, which is why I picked Florida. Prayerfully it serves us well and I wish you the absolute best 🌱
Yeah I live in Florida I was think about Houston bc of the living Cost is cheaper in Florida it’s $1,900 a month for one bed room you will never find anything 800 or less unless you make 20K a year which is a no but I hope you love Orlando Ik it’s expensive ash
Hi sorry Houston didn’t workout for you. I’m from South Florida also and I moved to Katy Houston 2009 2010 it was the best decision I could have made. The restaurants I tried was delicious 😋 I live for crawfish season 😂😂 I guess it’s who you know. I met a lot of really good people. The house that I purchased would be 1.5 million or more in South Florida. The school district that my kids attended Katy ISD was one of the best. Houston is a more laid back city for families. I do understand how you felt missing the beaches and sunny weather. The traffic is horrible in Houston even with an Ez Tag.
I've been in Houston nearly my whole life, and have been wanting to leave since forever. Unfortunately I am trapped for work reasons.. This is a pretty crazy town, best not to piss anyone off, even if they did you wrong as you are more likely to get shot at. Just look at all the local news regarding road rage, it's terrible.
We are moving to TX from WA in a few months and I like hearing the reasons why and why didn’t people like Houston. GIRLLLLL you are better than me 😂 the way my pride is setup… I would never have went back after ppl called me telling me I wouldn’t make it lol. Your happiness and comfort is what’s important tho. Happy for you! 💕
😂😂😂😂😂 girl listen stay tuned to the next few videos cause babyyyyyy it went downnnn ok 😩😭 … it wasn’t even for “them” it’s because I love Florida so much … but whew 😰 😅
@Pinky Yei Yei I feel that. Coming from WA it’s so cheap to me compared to how it is here right now. I’m thankful i work from home and my job will actually pay me more to work from home there. I’m paying 2000 and some change for a 795 sq. Ft apartment right now. A 2 bedroom house in my area is at least 500k. It’s crazy.
Idk I’ve lived in Houston for almost 10 months now solo and I just don’t love it like keep trying it to figure out like what I’m missing but it just feels like it’s just okay to me not amazing or obsessed with it
Love your video you are being honest. Houstonians get offended for everything it is true! . I was born and raised in Houston have lived in NY and I agree with you on everything. You made the BEST decision. Houston has Rude aggressive people, wreckless drivers, criminals walking free on bond killing people, over crowded, traffic, everything far, NOT cultural, not transportation friendly, Galveston is dirty water, jobs are not that good too much competition no experience don't know no one no job. My goal is to move to Florida Tampa this year I hate it here. Please tell me more of Florida or if you have a video. I only visited but like you said is different living there. (Ignore those negative comments typical Houston people not respecting others opinions).
Girl I feel you and I were besties for life. I don't blame you girl. Florida is way more beautiful then TX. Yes girl a lot of people in Texas had never traveled outside of state. I don't missed Texas at all. Lol I used to live in Texas for 15 years I hate it. I left in 2016 my parents are obsessed with that state. Still I don't understand why people are so obsessed with Texas , I have seen way more beautiful and better states to live in .Girl yes a lot of crazy drivers in Houston and crazy people caring weapons . Thank God I left .
Please do your research on Sugarland!!! Do not move to Sugarland..known for racism, home of sugar Kane fields where alot of slaves reside ... DO YOUR RESEARCH
Great video! I been in Houston for a little over a year and alot of your opinions are valid. I was close to your area, memorial and eldridge and didnt like it. Too suburban. Im now in Montrose and love it so neighborhood is very important. Things are far depending on what part of Houston your in. I love HEB! Def my go to grocery store. Houston is very diverse but segregated at the same time. I think a big factor is you didnt have a community so I think that contributed alot to your experience. Moving is not easy especially as you get older but Im happy your where you want to be now.
Someone finally said it, yeah traffic is bad and things are spread out in Houston but the real deal breaker is simply the east Coast "Vibe and Culture" is way Nicer, PeriodT !!!
@@ms.dcarter6182 Main change is that places are not open as late as they used to be. (MY BIGGEST PROBLEM). Other than that, is the same with a lot more traffic.
I feel like if you don’t live near a beach or lake you will get bored easily in any major city. What else is there really to do besides shop, eat, go to lounges, and bars? You will get the same results. I live in Arizona it is nice for people who enjoy outdoors “hiking, golfing, offriding, atv wheeling, horseback riding, going to the lake for paddle boarding which is 1-2 hours out. The only thing about Arizona I don’t like is it is extremely too hot to do a majority of those outdoor activities after 10 am, so you are left to do what everyone else is complaining about drinking, going to bars etc. Building hobbies, going to networking and social events is the best way to improve your quality of life no matter where you live. I would move to Houston and fort lauderale has always been my dream place.
Lake George trail is in Katy that was my Fav 💕you’ll love that one, George bush parks. It was a few more but I can not find them online I’m already forgetting street names from up there 😩😭 I just know how to get to them..
Hi, I have been considering relocating to Texas and I’d like to thank you for sharing your experience. I’m definitely going to do my due diligence. I have 2 questions. Can you make a video that explains why a lot of people have financial difficulties and what would you tell someone who’s considering moving to Florida? TIA….. oh and I’m also going to subscribe and clap for you on your life’s journey👏🏼🙏🏼
That’s a great question sorry I’m super late 🥹.. and a video on finances 🫠😫 idk if I’m fully equipped just yet. I’ll add my 2cents in a new year video .. advice moving to Florida : it could be pricey, we don’t have all 4 seasons. Beautiful days beautiful weather .. people down south could be blunt, up north people could be a bit nicer .. I always say don’t knock it till you try it, a city depends on what a person deem as important.. it’s really based on perspective. Hope that helps 🤍
I also used to live there too. I left mainly because the weather and the road rage. Yes living and visiting is so different. I also find that people here are nice or super rude. There isn’t really a middle.
Houston is sunny 70 percent of the time...south florida has afternoon showers and flooding...i think houston offers black families a chance to own a house.....i mean you left an affordable city that would give you a chance of home ownership for south fl which is one of the most expensive real estates in america....I hear you but to leave cause the food was not good is kinda minute....
Mmmmmmm if you watch the video food wasn’t my deal breaker babe ! Other than that yes I agree with you on the home ownership def a huge pro thank you !
@@brianadiasvlog im just saying...can you buy a house in Broward or Dade county?...im from nyc....me and my wife left bc we couldnt afford a house for a million dollars...katy, sugar land and pearl land still offers american dream....sometimes its not what you like its what you can afford....base on what i hear most people our age cant afford to by a house in south florida....if im lying im flying.
I moved to Houston from Atlanta in 2009 and still here. It took me years to adjust. It's an entirely different place, different vibe and I agree with much that you've said. I miss my people in Atlanta to be honest but I've got family obligations here now. It is peaceful here I do agree, but somewhat dull. I don't hate it, but I don't entirely love it either. Personally I enjoy the food variety around here but I think it's spiced better in ATL.
Agreed ! ATL food a bit more seasoned 😂😂😂 I didn’t hate it either but I wasn’t in love.. And same! If I had a family I would have stayed, based on affordability it would have been a better decision.. Houston was giving Bordum
@@brianadiasvlog yeah big ass town but everybody just kind of minds their own business. not overly social and they hardly ever get out of line. It's very orderly and controlled. I don't agree with anybody calling this a new Atlanta. It's not!
I’m moving to Houston in a few months and I’ve visited twice and all the popular food spots I’ve visited have been soooo mid!! Except for one random gem we found - Empire Cafe. I’m excited to explore Houston and find more gems. I think most places are overrated though. I don’t think the food lives up to the hype though, in general.
I’m from Houston and this place is boring as hell for its size. The main reason is it’s not a walkable city!!. Only place you can walk in is the galleria mall. People drive everywhere. It’s ok for everyday life but for fun, this place is boring!!!
One of the main reason I’m moving back to the Chicago area. It just boring here. I don’t want to go to a bar or a lounge etc. just to kick it. And there’s NOWHERE to walk
@@dubk7369 I just moved to Chicago recently too :-) and it’s on a different level than Houston. Chicago is a fun walkable city with always something to do!.
I lived in Houston 7 years ago and actually loved it. I am from Ohio and grew up in the country, so I loved the city and not being too far from an ocean. Not only that, but Houston is like a big country city. I couldn't imagine it has changed that much in 7 years. We always found stuff to do. The only people making videos like this seem to be women. One thing I noticed about women is stability and consistency make them bored. It's like my mom changing and rearrange the furniture in the house every 3-4 months 😂. But women now adays soon as a man brings consistency and stability she gets bored and sabotages the relationship and looks for someone else. They move somewhere, they get bored and want to move somewhere else. Women now adays don't simply know what stability is. That's why they fail at their jobs and relationships.
Every major city in Texas has its own personality and vibe. I'm from Dallas and despise the vibe of Houston. I've lived half my life in the panhandle of Florida and love it but dislike South florida. I think what you will discover with most States that want you travel or busy different parts of states is easy to change the vibe. Maybe I'm biased but I definitely think you probably would have liked Dallas and had a better experience of Texas overall had you move there first. But the good thing is you was able to experience something new and I think that goes a long way in the journey called life.
Agree I had actually planned to move to Dallas. That’s where I wanted to go initially, but it didn’t work out that way and I landed in Houston.. Houston isn’t terrible I will always go back to visit … I just can not live there it’s not my vibe..
@@brianadiasvlog yeah I feel you. I hope everything has worked out for you oh your move back home. I did vacation in Fort Lauderdale some years back it was definitely a nice little vibe there, but don't ever have to step foot in Miami as long as I live. I'm good
😂😂 I’m from Houston and I totally get your point of views on living in Houston! The people here are a bit ummm rough it has its pros and cons! Yeah sugar land ,Katy, pearland are a more reasonable areas! I stay in Orlando before I loved it ! The people were weird but over all I enjoyed it!
I also feel where a lot of black people go wrong at is that they want to move to where the rap music is coming from or came from like Atlanta and Houston. Sometimes we have to understand that moving to these places doesn't guarantee us a good quality of life.
I’ve worked with a lot of people that moved here from out of state and majority moved here and left within a year. Many would get a job here and were able to transfer back to a location at their home state.
You're right about the food. I'm from NYC and the Caribbean food here is nasty and I live in Katy. Since I have a business in NYC and here. We have purchased land for truck parking and will probably be setting up a food truck
I've been in Houston for nearly 9 years now. I've met some nice people and I like it for the most part. That being said, I agree with everything you said. The driving is scary... the food is varied and plentiful, but not my preference in most cases. I think it's because you usually like what you're used to eating. I love Houston for many reasons, but I miss the east coast. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in your future.
I did houston when essence fest went there for 1 year...it was okay everything is just spread out...sorta like jville where I currently live..you have to have your finances in order when you are relocating...It is very expensive to live in Florida now..if u are renting a 1 bedroom will cost u about 1700 a month in a decent area..homeowners insurance and auto insurance is expensive here...And you have to have a plan during hurricane season..
Girl, I couldn't agree more with the way them people drive. For some reason all these people are moving to Minnesota from Texas. They need to gon and take their asses back . Yes, the running stop signs driving as fast as they think they can. We have winters in Minnesota and we have never had as many crashes here as we've had this past winter in all my years here. They better learn real fast though because they are giving out nice hefty tickets for speeders and I couldn't be happier. St. Paul has always felt like a small slower city than Minneapolis. Now it's just too many people and way to fast paced for my liking. I've never had anxiety driving before. I do so bad now just seeing all these crashes on a daily basis. Okay I'm done ranting.
Last thing. Austin and Dallas are good places if you're white, but i wouldn't recommend a Black person move there. San Antonio is good if you're Mexican, but it's boring as all get up. Beaches are definitely better in Ft. Lauderdale as is the weather. Food though? Nah and I say that as a person who essentially lived in Florida for summers during my childhood. Same for night life as well. We do drive crazy as hell too lol. I think you may have just been home sick, which is completely understandable.
I think it just depends on the type of food. If youre talking food from the Caribbean, its going to be hard to compare to South Florida. My family is Southeast Asian and the food in Florida is awful for that, while amazing in Houston. So for Asian food, Houston. For food from the Caribbean Islands, Florida.
I've been out here for like 2 weeks almost 3. It is very gloomy. I'm like ehh. The city is like blah to tbh. It doesn't look clean just being honest. Looks like it's gray outside and the air is dry. It feels depressing. I'm hoping It gets better. It is very affordable out there though. Girl and honestly you are speaking the truth don't worry about what these people think. A lot of them are blatantly disrespectful out here. I thought when I was in fl they were disrespectful but out here is worse. I miss fl tbh
it's the transparency and sincerity for me❤ rooting for you Sis.lol at you discovering h.e.b. late in the game and you right this is not our type of diversity
Never go to a city and eat food chain food lol. Next to Chicago, Houston probably has the best food in the US. Especially if you're into eating food from all around the world.
Okay I am super late but, I wanted to tell you, I was born and raised in San Antonio (28Years & counting). Based off of everything you said, You might not like San Antonio. The culture may not be for you (I can elaborate if you want) as well as the food, The food scene here is TERRIBLE!!! and the crazy thing is I moved out for a year to live in Dallas and then came back to S.A. and realized how bad it was because there was so much good food in all of DFW and I got spoiled, so much that when I came back to San Antonio and didn't have those same options, I was so hurt. It definitely gets hotter here than in Florida. And the extreme heat (100+) can also be humid and dry depending certain factor day by day. The weather isn't as gloomy as Houston though. But it can still be uncomfortable for about 6 months. We are not on a beach but S.A. is the closest MAJOR city (4½ Hours) to the best beach in Texas which happen to be South Padre. If you're looking for South Florida quality water and sand, we don't have that but, South Padre is very beautiful for Texas and the pictures don't do it justice online, you actually have to visit. I could go further but that's just giving you an idea. I myself was thinking about either moving to back Dallas or giving Charlotte a try. I no longer have a car and I would have to attain one if I wanted to go to Charlotte where as in Dallas they have a good transportation system for people who live in inner city Dallas. Also anywhere where the light rail trains don't take you the buses will in a reasonable amount of time and, the thing that I liked about having a city with trains is they DON'T stop for traffic like buses so it makes getting places faster and smooth. But yeah, I could go on, I just wanted to give you an idea. If you're looking for Black culture and diversity at the same time then, San Antonio most definitely won't be for you nor will Dallas even though Dallas has a good amount of black people; way more then S.A., it won't be a Houston or an Atlanta AT ALL, especially San Antonio (S.A.) This city is built on Mexican culture. It's a predominantly Latino/Hispanic city, which there's nothing wrong with it but, it's not for everybody including myself who isn't of any Latin origin/background. I've been used to this all my life and I want different in a city with potentially less hotter weather too. But anyways live your life to the fullest, and if you or anybody who sees this comment has any questions about San Antonio, I can fill you in.
😂😂 i did !! But it’s because I’m use to certain brands where I’m from … when I first moved to Houston I started shopping at Kroger an when I found out about HEB I preferred my Kroger favorites.. so I would have to go to 3 different grocery stores to get everything I wanted and need ! 😂😂
A lot of the cons you stated are nit just a houston thing its a texas thing. Like the bipolar weather, the bad driving it all be spread out. Im in the dallas area and all that is here
don't listen to those telling you , you ran back home. I felt and did the same . People shame you for doing and living your own life like lmaoo. God will bless you and He knows where you will be. You took the chance and didn't like it, Some people can't even say that ! Great video new subbie!!
@@EmpowHerwithJas 😂😂 girl I be baffled. Most Houston natives have not been outside Texas, I’ve spoken to a handful of them ! And back to what you said, life is about experience. They’ll be okay 😌
you don’t own Houston bitch. This is her channel, her journey, and HER story…in the end it wasn’t a fit for her and that’s okay. Y’all need to let this weird pride of repping hometowns GO
😂 born and raised. Pretty much agree. Houston is boring. I’m not from here. The foreigners do drive bad they run stop signs. The food is pretty good. If you know where to go. The humidity is horrible the winter is worse I always get the winter blues. Yes they stay in the house all day every day I even had to adjust to that. I’m moving back to the country. It’s always something going on in the country. It’s much safer. Enjoy your life girl.
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ I'm confused how could anyone wanna leave Fort Lauderdale and not go to Vegas or LA. Houston is super humid and the beach far away . Anyhoo congratulations 🎉 you back home , when is the 🤵🏾👰🏾?
Yeah I LOVE Florida. Wanted to live there since I was a child. I have family in Jacksonville, Fort Myers and one of my brothers used to live in Fort Lauderdale. I just went to Disney/Orlando earlier this year and it felt like I was finally home lol. I would pick Florida over Texas in a heartbeat.
Yes it’s expensive but Los Angeles has got it all: the beaches, warm and sunny year round with little humidity, tons to do, great food, a world wide known tourist city. I can’t think of anywhere that has all those things in 1 place
Y’all TH-camrs and tiktok people made it as we a party city. If you wanted shit to do you have to travel hour away outside of Houston for fun stuff. Never call a city boring if you don’t ask where is places to go.
@@bohill3177 Ah, so that's what you interpreted from my comment, considering the fact you know the answer to your question. Y'all stay keeping tabs on me🤦🏾♀️
I wouldnt live in the city of Houston. Living in Katy, Pearland, Sugarland or League City is a lot better for family life or if you want to enjoy Houston and go back to structured civilization.
Man if you live in Florida and say houston is hot?!!! Damn lol😅😅😅😅 ..I thought south Florida was oppressively hot my 13 years there. Nevermind going to Houston 😆
We live and learn. You can only do what’s in your best interest at THAT current time. I’m from New Orleans and moved to Houston frm 2015-2017 then went back home. Five yrs later and I’m moving back to HTX. Ppl change and our circumstances/situations change as well. Luv your vids and best of luck on your life journey.
This is very interesting and I agree ! It’s def a timing thing. Things are forever changing s as me you’re right who know and thank you I wish you the same !!
Definitely, I was raised in the boot and took a job in New Orleans about a year 1/2 ago... at this point everyday is about getting bacc home to the H! @brianadiasvlog definitely needed more insight from a native, you were living in THE WRONG AREA lol n you right, none but white folks around there... funny hearing your comments about digging Sugarland/Pearland or even Katy because they are def better spots. If you ever go back (for reference) Missouri City/Stafford/Pearland are southside suburbs (SW) for "US" lol the Nawf is kinda NE from Willowbrook to Atascocita
I agree with much of what you said. There are so many gloomy days in Houston, everything is so spread out which makes the simplest tasks take forever, and it’s always crowded.
That said, your point about figuring out WHERE to live is key. There are so many options in Houston. After 2 years in Houston, I’m ready to live on the outskirts for (hopefully) a better experience.
Outskirts to me is a win win 🤞🏾💕
You're gloomy
I would say houston was fun up until i graduated high school but as you get older it becomes extremely boring because the only things to do are meet up at clubs and bars lol. Theres literally nothing else that people do they stay inside or go to the bar. If the bar or club scene is not for them they stay inside their home watching tv. Then your only goal becomes getting into a relationship because theres nothing else to do and moving to katy to purchase a 3 bed 3 bath home. Im moving to california next month
Yes it was very boring to me !
I’m debating on leaving the Bay Area for Houston…
@@itslitallday4361me too lol
@@meka8156don't move back to California it's getting way to expensive
@@itslitallday4361 houston is cheaper on paper but the wages are also low so it gets expensive and things add up so a lot of people here struggle. I was in Randalls supermarket today and the entire line was held up at 5 self checkouts because everyones card was getting declined and this was for less than 10 items.
I’ve been here for two years and you definitely ain’t wrong. I’m moving back to Vegas as soon as I get a chance!
If you’re from Houston and have food recommendations or great areas for ppl to live please feel free to comment below. However if you’re from Houston, feel free to ignore HOW I FEEL. Not everyone’s gonna like HOUSTON and that okay 💕 learn to relax, if someone is making a decision with their life. I promise it should not affect you one bit. I’m not the first person who rather not live in Houston and I won’t be the last. It’s gonna be okay.
@Pinky Yei Yei thank you 💕 I’m glad you’re loving your experience there. And thank you for the helpful input!
I've lived in Houston for many years, so I agree with much of what your saying. But, I was surprised that you said the food wasn't good. Can you share a few places where you ate and didn't like the food? I also didn't notice gloomy days, but you are on point with the humidity and unpredictable weather.
@@MissTXTee too many to name. I’ve had better food in Canada New Orleans and Atlanta my opinion … If it’s not summer in Houston it’s gloomy. For me and my friend it stuck out A Lot being that we come from the Sunshine state where the sun is always shining possibly. It was mainly food chains I enjoy at home and some other places ppl referred us. Not sure of a lot names because it wasn’t anything to remember!
Well said ❤
Yeah the food is pretty bad in Houston. People from Texas don’t see it cuz it’s all they know, and the idea is Houston is so big you can always find somewhere good. But the thing is you really have to work to find the good spots or it’s going to taste bad, or even make you sick.
I’ve been here five years. I NEEDED to go from Florida too. Same, after a few months, I hated being here. Cool friends, dating isn’t really a problem, but there’s something missing and I can’t pinpoint one things. Traffic, not a pedestrian friendly city, car dependency through the roof, NOBODY walks. The only thing to do for fun is go to a lounge, bar or club. Nobody from anywhere else what’s to visit Houston. I’m going back to Florida soon too. More expensive, yes! Better lifestyle, YES!
Houston can be a culture shock. Texas in a whole. It's different in every region of the state. San Antonio is nice and the hospitality is on point. Houston can be hostile depending on where you are SE and SW side. Most ppl are dry as hell or nice as hell. It's a lot to do if you are in the mix. Black people tend to deal with family and cliques for the most part. Trail riding, bike clubs, zydeco events and car clubs are big. I respect your opinion and it ain't for everybody.
You people don't seem to realize that Houston is the FOURTH largest city in the United States. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, HOUSTON. If you're from a small city, there typically is usually ONE culture of people, so there is usually a centralized place where black people kick it and socialize. Houston is too big for that and there are literally dozens of subcultures here. The people that are into trail rides and zydeco are mostly Louisiana transplants, they have their own music, food, dance, style of dress and even language. It's hard to fall into that culture because it goes back centuries, it's big fun to watch but unless you're a charismatic person, you won't feel embraced even though they are some of the nicest and friendliest people. Then there are the true Houstonians who keep to the Wards, South and Northsides of Houston, these people tend to be more blue collar type townsy type black people. They tend to keep to themselves, they don't really travel far outside of their neighborhoods. They like simple living and prefer hole in the wall type places. Those people are oftentimes misunderstood as stand offish but in reality they are just simple people that don't want to be judged for liking the BYOB type spots. Ask a coworker or something, they tell you where all the spots are. There is a bougie crowd but you'll rarely see those people, they have their places, wine bars, etc;. Your best bet for socializing and meeting people is church, the radio stations and the internet. Listen to 90.9, 102.1, 97.9 and 93.7 those are the stations that will tell you about ALL the events happening in the city. The first two are usually for the more mature, the last two are the young hip hop crowd events. Next is the cheat code, GOOGLE MAPS, if you search on Google Maps "black owned restaruants" it will literally show you a list of all restaurants with a tag that says, "Identifies as black owned". Create a list in Google Maps are add them to the "Want To Visit" list and start visiting. That way you can read reviews, see photos and see if it's in your budget range. You won't like them all but in the process you will find spots that you'll frequent and come back to, others you may never want to go back...That's the charm of Houston, with so many options, you can literally build your own little oasis. You will meet a lot of people, people in Houston like to eat and a lot of restaurants turn into mini clubs at night. If you're here or coming soon, I recommend KISS restaurant and Phil and Dereks both are excellent places to go vibe out and tap into the scene and talk to people about places to go, both have live music on some nights and a diverse crowd of people. The fun won't come to you like it does in smaller cities, you have to look for it, I gaurantee you it's here.
hmmm. sounds like Atlanta is a combination of Houston & Florida
I've never heard anyone say they couldn't find any good food in Houston, there's so many hundreds restaurants. And also super diverse. There's China town, Little India, lots of Caribbean and African restaurants and communities. .It sounds like you only ventured the West Side/Katy You definitely should have explored more areas. Washington Ave, Westheimer, Midtown, Uptown, Pearland-518, Almeda, Montrose District
I have. I’ve been making HOUSTON content for 3 years def came across many ppl 💕 so far as Caribbean food there, I hated it but again that was my experience! Even if I was on the west side trying food it should of been good period.. I’ve def had better in New Orleans Canada GA Etc. Just by simple visiting. But thanks for the recommendations it can def help someone else.
Literally the only person who didn't like our food. The Asian, the BBQ, and The Mexican food!!! Like ,I'm baffled.

I’m 25 right now and I just moved here in HTX a week ago from NYC! Girl I’m all alone too. Our stories are so similarrrrr, my boyfriend is coming down here in December and I’m figuring life out as of currently 😂
Awww 💛 I hope it works out for youuuu ..
I’ve visited Texas and honestly I didn’t like it. I had relatives there but never visited again. They have since moved out. The humidity was awful. It just has a whole different vibe then I am used to. It’s not for everyone.
Exactly it’s not, it is very hot and humid there .. my point of view is to point out my truth.. so ppl are aware of certain things. Everything isn’t gonna be great & perfect! Thank you for your experience!
I live in NYC and I love my city but I’m getting older and I want to live somewhere calmer. I went to ATL after college and it was cool. I came back home had fun taking advantage of being in the city and now I’m ready to settle down. The cost of living is becoming overwhelming because no matter how much money I make I still feel stagnant here because it’s so expensive.
I understand I'm def loving the suburbs in Orlando, I dont want to leave.
I'll say this if one moves to a state for experience and not for opertunity you will be disappointed because senation vibe is only momentary but if your transition is for to have better or opertunity you'll appreciate it and continue to grow I moved to Houston 4 years ago and within 4 years God has tremendously blessed me and I have no complaints.
Mom here - moving to Orlando with my children in two months from Baltimore! Florida is amazing. Love the beach and the palm trees, which is why I picked Florida. Prayerfully it serves us well and I wish you the absolute best 🌱
Awe thank you so much love 💕✨ I wish you the same. Florida is beautiful and def a dream place to call home !
@@brianadiasvlog Thanks so much !! 🌱
You did right by leaving Baltimore. Good luck sweet heart ❤️.
Yeah I live in Florida I was think about Houston bc of the living Cost is cheaper in Florida it’s $1,900 a month for one bed room you will never find anything 800 or less unless you make 20K a year which is a no but I hope you love Orlando Ik it’s expensive ash
Hi sorry Houston didn’t workout for you. I’m from South Florida also and I moved to Katy Houston 2009 2010 it was the best decision I could have made. The restaurants I tried was delicious 😋 I live for crawfish season 😂😂 I guess it’s who you know. I met a lot of really good people. The house that I purchased would be 1.5 million or more in South Florida. The school district that my kids attended Katy ISD was one of the best. Houston is a more laid back city for families. I do understand how you felt missing the beaches and sunny weather. The traffic is horrible in Houston even with an Ez Tag.
I don’t eat crawfish 😅 but that’s great I’m happy you enjoy it that’s all that matters ! 💕
I'm moved from Brooklyn to Katy in 2020. I'm enjoying it also
I've been in Houston nearly my whole life, and have been wanting to leave since forever. Unfortunately I am trapped for work reasons.. This is a pretty crazy town, best not to piss anyone off, even if they did you wrong as you are more likely to get shot at. Just look at all the local news regarding road rage, it's terrible.
Yes be careful protect yourself
We are moving to TX from WA in a few months and I like hearing the reasons why and why didn’t people like Houston. GIRLLLLL you are better than me 😂 the way my pride is setup… I would never have went back after ppl called me telling me I wouldn’t make it lol. Your happiness and comfort is what’s important tho. Happy for you! 💕

@Pinky Yei Yei I feel that. Coming from WA it’s so cheap to me compared to how it is here right now. I’m thankful i work from home and my job will actually pay me more to work from home there. I’m paying 2000 and some change for a 795 sq. Ft apartment right now. A 2 bedroom house in my area is at least 500k. It’s crazy.
@@BrainrotUnlocked awe thank you 💕
Idk I’ve lived in Houston for almost 10 months now solo and I just don’t love it like keep trying it to figure out like what I’m missing but it just feels like it’s just okay to me not amazing or obsessed with it
Same I can’t figure out exactly what it is
Love your video you are being honest. Houstonians get offended for everything it is true! . I was born and raised in Houston have lived in NY and I agree with you on everything. You made the BEST decision. Houston has Rude aggressive people, wreckless drivers, criminals walking free on bond killing people, over crowded, traffic, everything far, NOT cultural, not transportation friendly, Galveston is dirty water, jobs are not that good too much competition no experience don't know no one no job. My goal is to move to Florida Tampa this year I hate it here. Please tell me more of Florida or if you have a video. I only visited but like you said is different living there. (Ignore those negative comments typical Houston people not respecting others opinions).
Agreeee ! I have Fl content coming .. Florida is going soooo great omg I love it 💛
There no good food in Houston . Dead ass . It all to season . I’m in Houston now and hate it . The people are to strong headed and arrogant .
Girl I feel you and I were besties for life. I don't blame you girl. Florida is way more beautiful then TX. Yes girl a lot of people in Texas had never traveled outside of state. I don't missed Texas at all. Lol I used to live in Texas for 15 years I hate it. I left in 2016 my parents are obsessed with that state. Still I don't understand why people are so obsessed with Texas , I have seen way more beautiful and better states to live in .Girl yes a lot of crazy drivers in Houston and crazy people caring weapons . Thank God I left .
Thank you for leaving
Thank you for this I plan on moving outside of Houston. What areas would you recommend?
Katy, Sugarland or Missouri
Please do your research on Sugarland!!! Do not move to Sugarland..known for racism, home of sugar Kane fields where alot of slaves reside ... DO YOUR RESEARCH
Great video! I been in Houston for a little over a year and alot of your opinions are valid. I was close to your area, memorial and eldridge and didnt like it. Too suburban. Im now in Montrose and love it so neighborhood is very important. Things are far depending on what part of Houston your in. I love HEB! Def my go to grocery store. Houston is very diverse but segregated at the same time. I think a big factor is you didnt have a community so I think that contributed alot to your experience. Moving is not easy especially as you get older but Im happy your where you want to be now.
Someone finally said it, yeah traffic is bad and things are spread out in Houston but the real deal breaker is simply the east Coast "Vibe and Culture" is way Nicer, PeriodT !!!

@@brianadiasvlog how is Ft. Lauderdale post COVID? Has it changed significantly?
@@ms.dcarter6182 Main change is that places are not open as late as they used to be. (MY BIGGEST PROBLEM). Other than that, is the same with a lot more traffic.
I feel like if you don’t live near a beach or lake you will get bored easily in any major city. What else is there really to do besides shop, eat, go to lounges, and bars? You will get the same results. I live in Arizona it is nice for people who enjoy outdoors “hiking, golfing, offriding, atv wheeling, horseback riding, going to the lake for paddle boarding which is 1-2 hours out. The only thing about Arizona I don’t like is it is extremely too hot to do a majority of those outdoor activities after 10 am, so you are left to do what everyone else is complaining about drinking, going to bars etc. Building hobbies, going to networking and social events is the best way to improve your quality of life no matter where you live. I would move to Houston and fort lauderale has always been my dream place.
Been here all my life sooo ready to branch out and see different ways of living 💯
U so cute!! ☺️ How much did you all average doing Uber Eats in Houston?? 🤔
Just move to katy in January. Can you please give park recommendations. Thank you for this video it was very insightful. I personally love katy ❤
Lake George trail is in Katy that was my Fav 💕you’ll love that one, George bush parks. It was a few more but I can not find them online I’m already forgetting street names from up there 😩😭 I just know how to get to them..
The weather here in Tennessee like that too. Last Wednesday and Thursday it was 80.'s. Weather drop back down in the 50's
Hi, I have been considering relocating to Texas and I’d like to thank you for sharing your experience. I’m definitely going to do my due diligence. I have 2 questions. Can you make a video that explains why a lot of people have financial difficulties and what would you tell someone who’s considering moving to Florida? TIA….. oh and I’m also going to subscribe and clap for you on your life’s journey👏🏼🙏🏼
That’s a great question sorry I’m super late 🥹.. and a video on finances 🫠😫 idk if I’m fully equipped just yet. I’ll add my 2cents in a new year video .. advice moving to Florida : it could be pricey, we don’t have all 4 seasons.
Beautiful days beautiful weather .. people down south could be blunt, up north people could be a bit nicer ..
I always say don’t knock it till you try it, a city depends on what a person deem as important.. it’s really based on perspective. Hope that helps 🤍
What years did u live in Houston ? I feel like u were here in covid years 😅
Would you consider “since 2018” as a Covid year? 😅😅
I think people should consider other areas besides the south..
I also used to live there too. I left mainly because the weather and the road rage. Yes living and visiting is so different. I also find that people here are nice or super rude. There isn’t really a middle.
I agree 😬
Houston is sunny 70 percent of the time...south florida has afternoon showers and flooding...i think houston offers black families a chance to own a house.....i mean you left an affordable city that would give you a chance of home ownership for south fl which is one of the most expensive real estates in america....I hear you but to leave cause the food was not good is kinda minute....
Mmmmmmm if you watch the video food wasn’t my deal breaker babe ! Other than that yes I agree with you on the home ownership def a huge pro thank you !
@@brianadiasvlog im just saying...can you buy a house in Broward or Dade county?...im from nyc....me and my wife left bc we couldnt afford a house for a million dollars...katy, sugar land and pearl land still offers american dream....sometimes its not what you like its what you can afford....base on what i hear most people our age cant afford to by a house in south florida....if im lying im flying.

It’s the wild Wild West in Houston! Road rage is a thing there.
I moved to Houston from Atlanta in 2009 and still here. It took me years to adjust. It's an entirely different place, different vibe and I agree with much that you've said. I miss my people in Atlanta to be honest but I've got family obligations here now. It is peaceful here I do agree, but somewhat dull. I don't hate it, but I don't entirely love it either. Personally I enjoy the food variety around here but I think it's spiced better in ATL.
Agreed ! ATL food a bit more seasoned 😂😂😂 I didn’t hate it either but I wasn’t in love.. And same! If I had a family I would have stayed, based on affordability it would have been a better decision.. Houston was giving Bordum
@@brianadiasvlog yeah big ass town but everybody just kind of minds their own business. not overly social and they hardly ever get out of line. It's very orderly and controlled. I don't agree with anybody calling this a new Atlanta. It's not!
I’m moving to Houston in a few months and I’ve visited twice and all the popular food spots I’ve visited have been soooo mid!! Except for one random gem we found - Empire Cafe. I’m excited to explore Houston and find more gems. I think most places are overrated though. I don’t think the food lives up to the hype though, in general.
I’m from Houston and this place is boring as hell for its size. The main reason is it’s not a walkable city!!. Only place you can walk in is the galleria mall. People drive everywhere. It’s ok for everyday life but for fun, this place is boring!!!
One of the main reason I’m moving back to the Chicago area. It just boring here. I don’t want to go to a bar or a lounge etc. just to kick it. And there’s NOWHERE to walk
@@dubk7369 I just moved to Chicago recently too :-) and it’s on a different level than Houston. Chicago is a fun walkable city with always something to do!.
100 percent agree!! BORING you have to drive far . Moving this year so crowded and rude aggressive drivers.
I wanted to move to Chicago 💛🥹
@@brianadiasvlog have you ever been to Chicago?
I lived in Houston 7 years ago and actually loved it. I am from Ohio and grew up in the country, so I loved the city and not being too far from an ocean. Not only that, but Houston is like a big country city. I couldn't imagine it has changed that much in 7 years. We always found stuff to do. The only people making videos like this seem to be women. One thing I noticed about women is stability and consistency make them bored. It's like my mom changing and rearrange the furniture in the house every 3-4 months 😂. But women now adays soon as a man brings consistency and stability she gets bored and sabotages the relationship and looks for someone else. They move somewhere, they get bored and want to move somewhere else. Women now adays don't simply know what stability is. That's why they fail at their jobs and relationships.
Love houston but stay in outskirts moved 4 years ago and it's a lot to do besides bars and clubs plus opertunity
Every major city in Texas has its own personality and vibe. I'm from Dallas and despise the vibe of Houston. I've lived half my life in the panhandle of Florida and love it but dislike South florida. I think what you will discover with most States that want you travel or busy different parts of states is easy to change the vibe. Maybe I'm biased but I definitely think you probably would have liked Dallas and had a better experience of Texas overall had you move there first. But the good thing is you was able to experience something new and I think that goes a long way in the journey called life.
Agree I had actually planned to move to Dallas. That’s where I wanted to go initially, but it didn’t work out that way and I landed in Houston.. Houston isn’t terrible I will always go back to visit … I just can not live there it’s not my vibe..
@@brianadiasvlog yeah I feel you. I hope everything has worked out for you oh your move back home. I did vacation in Fort Lauderdale some years back it was definitely a nice little vibe there, but don't ever have to step foot in Miami as long as I live. I'm good
Hi Bri´ana I am Brazilian. City of Houston is majestic and magic. I like your work. Congratulations! Don´t stop ever.
Thank you
You did right by leaving Houston, so now come up to the DFW.
😂😂 that’s where I originally wanted to live, just never made it up there 🥹.. I’ll come visit though !
You’re just a Florida girl . You sound just like me. I said the exact same thing . I missed the beaches and Houston was played out
😂😂 I’m from Houston and I totally get your point of views on living in Houston! The people here are a bit ummm rough it has its pros and cons! Yeah sugar land ,Katy, pearland are a more reasonable areas! I stay in Orlando before I loved it ! The people were weird but over all I enjoyed it!
😂😂😂😂😂
And yes omgggg I am in LOVE with Orlando 💛💛💛💛
I also feel where a lot of black people go wrong at is that they want to move to where the rap music is coming from or came from like Atlanta and Houston. Sometimes we have to understand that moving to these places doesn't guarantee us a good quality of life.
I didn’t realize Houston was big on rap until 3-4 yrs ago…I thought only Atlanta, NYC, and L.A were the rap meccas.
Everybody moves and then everybody moves back. Patience is just running thin nowadays.
I’ve worked with a lot of people that moved here from out of state and majority moved here and left within a year. Many would get a job here and were able to transfer back to a location at their home state.
No it just sucks there. 😅
You're right about the food. I'm from NYC and the Caribbean food here is nasty and I live in Katy. Since I have a business in NYC and here. We have purchased land for truck parking and will probably be setting up a food truck
Thanks for sharing!!
I've been in Houston for nearly 9 years now. I've met some nice people and I like it for the most part. That being said, I agree with everything you said. The driving is scary... the food is varied and plentiful, but not my preference in most cases. I think it's because you usually like what you're used to eating. I love Houston for many reasons, but I miss the east coast. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in your future.
Thank you for engaging 💛
I did houston when essence fest went there for 1 year...it was okay everything is just spread out...sorta like jville where I currently live..you have to have your finances in order when you are relocating...It is very expensive to live in Florida now..if u are renting a 1 bedroom will cost u about 1700 a month in a decent area..homeowners insurance and auto insurance is expensive here...And you have to have a plan during hurricane season..
Agreed 🙏🏾
In Houston you grow up. That's a good thing
True 💕
This make me appreciate Lil Louisiana.

You should those big massive cities are fun for visiting but living in them a lot of times is overrated.
A total 360 means your in the same place
Girl, I couldn't agree more with the way them people drive. For some reason all these people are moving to Minnesota from Texas. They need to gon and take their asses back . Yes, the running stop signs driving as fast as they think they can. We have winters in Minnesota and we have never had as many crashes here as we've had this past winter in all my years here. They better learn real fast though because they are giving out nice hefty tickets for speeders and I couldn't be happier. St. Paul has always felt like a small slower city than Minneapolis. Now it's just too many people and way to fast paced for my liking. I've never had anxiety driving before. I do so bad now just seeing all these crashes on a daily basis. Okay I'm done ranting.
I live about 34 miles from Houston and I would never live in Houston it's to busy
Girl Fort Lauderdale is nice!! Y’all Floridians have such a pretty state if I was from there I don’t think I would wanna leave
Baby im glad folks are leaving.. let us have our home 🤘🏾 back. Tried of the unnecessary ppl, creating traffic, etc.. bye and enjoy life
Congrats on your move back to the Sunshine state. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you
Good riddance
Last thing. Austin and Dallas are good places if you're white, but i wouldn't recommend a Black person move there. San Antonio is good if you're Mexican, but it's boring as all get up. Beaches are definitely better in Ft. Lauderdale as is the weather. Food though? Nah and I say that as a person who essentially lived in Florida for summers during my childhood. Same for night life as well. We do drive crazy as hell too lol. I think you may have just been home sick, which is completely understandable.
I think it just depends on the type of food. If youre talking food from the Caribbean, its going to be hard to compare to South Florida. My family is Southeast Asian and the food in Florida is awful for that, while amazing in Houston. So for Asian food, Houston. For food from the Caribbean Islands, Florida.
I've been out here for like 2 weeks almost 3. It is very gloomy. I'm like ehh. The city is like blah to tbh. It doesn't look clean just being honest. Looks like it's gray outside and the air is dry. It feels depressing. I'm hoping It gets better. It is very affordable out there though. Girl and honestly you are speaking the truth don't worry about what these people think. A lot of them are blatantly disrespectful out here. I thought when I was in fl they were disrespectful but out here is worse. I miss fl tbh
I know the feeling 😩!
it's the transparency and sincerity for me❤ rooting for you Sis.lol at you discovering h.e.b. late in the game and you right this is not our type of diversity
😂💕
Never go to a city and eat food chain food lol. Next to Chicago, Houston probably has the best food in the US. Especially if you're into eating food from all around the world.
Okay I am super late but, I wanted to tell you, I was born and raised in San Antonio (28Years & counting). Based off of everything you said, You might not like San Antonio. The culture may not be for you (I can elaborate if you want) as well as the food, The food scene here is TERRIBLE!!! and the crazy thing is I moved out for a year to live in Dallas and then came back to S.A. and realized how bad it was because there was so much good food in all of DFW and I got spoiled, so much that when I came back to San Antonio and didn't have those same options, I was so hurt. It definitely gets hotter here than in Florida. And the extreme heat (100+) can also be humid and dry depending certain factor day by day. The weather isn't as gloomy as Houston though. But it can still be uncomfortable for about 6 months. We are not on a beach but S.A. is the closest MAJOR city (4½ Hours) to the best beach in Texas which happen to be South Padre. If you're looking for South Florida quality water and sand, we don't have that but, South Padre is very beautiful for Texas and the pictures don't do it justice online, you actually have to visit. I could go further but that's just giving you an idea. I myself was thinking about either moving to back Dallas or giving Charlotte a try. I no longer have a car and I would have to attain one if I wanted to go to Charlotte where as in Dallas they have a good transportation system for people who live in inner city Dallas. Also anywhere where the light rail trains don't take you the buses will in a reasonable amount of time and, the thing that I liked about having a city with trains is they DON'T stop for traffic like buses so it makes getting places faster and smooth. But yeah, I could go on, I just wanted to give you an idea. If you're looking for Black culture and diversity at the same time then, San Antonio most definitely won't be for you nor will Dallas even though Dallas has a good amount of black people; way more then S.A., it won't be a Houston or an Atlanta AT ALL, especially San Antonio (S.A.) This city is built on Mexican culture. It's a predominantly Latino/Hispanic city, which there's nothing wrong with it but, it's not for everybody including myself who isn't of any Latin origin/background. I've been used to this all my life and I want different in a city with potentially less hotter weather too. But anyways live your life to the fullest, and if you or anybody who sees this comment has any questions about San Antonio, I can fill you in.
Damn you traveled far for groceries HEB normally has everything you need
😂😂 i did !! But it’s because I’m use to certain brands where I’m from … when I first moved to Houston I started shopping at Kroger an when I found out about HEB I preferred my Kroger favorites.. so I would have to go to 3 different grocery stores to get everything I wanted and need ! 😂😂
A lot of the cons you stated are nit just a houston thing its a texas thing. Like the bipolar weather, the bad driving it all be spread out. Im in the dallas area and all that is here
I don't know why people move here and complain. Glad you went back home.
And I don’t know why you care so much 😂😂 god bless you though 💕

@@EmpowHerwithJas 😂😂 girl I be baffled. Most Houston natives have not been outside Texas, I’ve spoken to a handful of them ! And back to what you said, life is about experience. They’ll be okay 😌
you don’t own Houston bitch. This is her channel, her journey, and HER story…in the end it wasn’t a fit for her and that’s okay. Y’all need to let this weird pride of repping hometowns GO
😂 born and raised. Pretty much agree. Houston is boring. I’m not from here. The foreigners do drive bad they run stop signs. The food is pretty good. If you know where to go. The humidity is horrible the winter is worse I always get the winter blues. Yes they stay in the house all day every day I even had to adjust to that. I’m moving back to the country. It’s always something going on in the country. It’s much safer. Enjoy your life girl.
So why are you still talking about Houston 🥴
Because I get hundreds of DMs, comments etc and I get paid to do so 💕 But, you can tune into my new Florida vlog if you like 😘
Because Houston fucking sucks! Any other place is better then TX.
Church and local bars are the only social life in rustbelt Appalachia.
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ I'm confused how could anyone wanna leave Fort Lauderdale and not go to Vegas or LA. Houston is super humid and the beach far away . Anyhoo congratulations 🎉 you back home , when is the 🤵🏾👰🏾?
😂😂 right ! And soon 💕
Yeah I LOVE Florida. Wanted to live there since I was a child. I have family in Jacksonville, Fort Myers and one of my brothers used to live in Fort Lauderdale. I just went to Disney/Orlando earlier this year and it felt like I was finally home lol. I would pick Florida over Texas in a heartbeat.
Our beach is flying to florida or cancun 😂
Yes it’s expensive but Los Angeles has got it all: the beaches, warm and sunny year round with little humidity, tons to do, great food, a world wide known tourist city. I can’t think of anywhere that has all those things in 1 place
San Antonio? Atx? Not enough black culture there for me.
😂😂 I understand
Y’all TH-camrs and tiktok people made it as we a party city. If you wanted shit to do you have to travel hour away outside of Houston for fun stuff. Never call a city boring if you don’t ask where is places to go.
Sugarland.. Manvel..Pearland..Katy..Cypress..Baytown is still.HOUSTON FOOOOOOL😂😂😂
I’m more than halfway in this video and I still don’t understand why you left, except for the gloomy days 🤷🏽♀️🙄
😂😂😂
🙄
Feeling this way. A year 1/2 mark too. Just don’t want to give up but ehhh. The men are feminine too. It eventually comes out of them lol
@@bohill3177 Ah, so that's what you interpreted from my comment, considering the fact you know the answer to your question. Y'all stay keeping tabs on me🤦🏾♀️
Hey sis
heyyyy boo!!
Houston is overrated
Agreeeee !!
How do the black women in Houston compare to black women from other cities in terms of looks and attitude?
I wouldnt live in the city of Houston. Living in Katy, Pearland, Sugarland or League City is a lot better for family life or if you want to enjoy Houston and go back to structured civilization.
Man if you live in Florida and say houston is hot?!!! Damn lol😅😅😅😅 ..I thought south Florida was oppressively hot my 13 years there. Nevermind going to Houston 😆
I've never heard anyone refer to Houston as gloomy🤣
Texas is soooo boring.
Agree 🥹😮💨
