I can't imagine how suffocating and depressing suburban car sprawl hell is in Houston, it has got to be a grim life living in that degree of normalized dehumanization.
This year's list placed Houston at No. 127 out of 149 U.S. metros, which were evaluatedon 17 metrics in three categories — socioeconomics, location and community, and quality of life.
"Overall, our research shows a metro that functions effectively as a labor market but struggles with day-to-day living conditions," said study author Adina Dragos in an email.
