Texas since 82

I wouldn't recommend Pasadena, that part of the metro area is where the petrochemical plants and refineries are concentrated. 1) fits that bill. We had a freak snow storm for Christmas. I think last time I saw snow here was 6-7 years ago. I have the AC running this week. 2) no knowledge about scuba or Guam, but suspect you'll want easy access to Galveston. Check into Pearland, Friendswood and areas on I 45 south of beltway 8. 3) Houses in my neighborhood go for [link\|http://www.pioneerhomes.com/commselect.aspx?psCode=H53\|$110-220]. I live 20 miles south of downtown, easy access to downtown, medical center, Galleria(uptown). Houston's [link\|http://webadv.chron.com/ads/ads_a/adsite/comparisons.html\|cost-of-living index is 10% below the nationwide average, ... housing costs 21% below the average.] 4) The city proper is the 4th largest city in the states, largest in Texas. We're [link\|http://geography.about.com/library/weekly/aa122099c.htm\|10th] when concidering the "metro" area, right behind Dallas/Forth Worth. 5) Humidity is the problem, not the heat.

That's good to know about Pasadena, what other area would you recommend with lower crime, and reasonably priced houses (note: I'm single, and only need a 2-3 br house) As for the diving, the Gulf is probably my best bet. probably won't see the 200' vis and bathwater warm water of Guam anywhere in the states, but the Gulf should be closest. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

The top 10 metro areas were required to be on the air first and that included Dallas/Fort-Worth(number 10), but not Houston(number 11). As of 2000, Houston's #10 while Dallas moved up to number 9.
