Houston's surprisingly nice, like a Texas version of Los Angeles. A great place to buy a used car: incomes are high, real estate is cheap, nobody wants to buy a pristine car with 80k miles that's never seen snow or dirt.

LA is much drier and Houston is pretty wet; mold would be a problem in the latter but not the former.

This. If there's one thing I can't stand about Houston, it's the mold. You could probably make a living selling bleach door to door in this town.

Isn't that what AC is for? ;) It's funny you should say this, though - I had someone come to my door a few months ago and say "you have some mildew on your foundation and roof, I can take care of it for $75.."

I can attest from personal experience that mold is an major headache if you live close to the ocean in Los Angeles.
