Houston is possibly one of the worst designed and least appealing cities on Earth. There are some moderately ok places, like the museum district is ok. The underground walkway areas downtown are kinda cool too.
Everything else is a complete mess of spaghetti roads, crumbling buildings, and an expectation that driving for 45 minutes on 70 mph highway is a normal commute to work. It's absurd how much of the money flows directly into some oil company's off-shore account rather than fixing literally anything.
Houston is like all the worst parts of Los Angeles but without any of the interesting things.
