You'll want to be in the loop though, I made this mistake at first, and thought "Oh, god, what have I done?!" and then I moved into town proper. Burbs are pretty bland. There are tons of really great bars and restaurants in the loop though. (:
The summers ARE that terrible. It's a different kind of heat, than you're used to in SoCal. Riverside, was dry but blazing hot. Houston's got like 85-95 degree days, but it's so hot that it feels like the 110 degree days I was used to back home. Once you get used to the humidity though, it's not too bad. If you were from the north, I'd fear for you, but you've had Cali summers, so you'll live. You CAN'T do the no AC + windows open + Fans blasting thing you can do in the desert though. It's too sticky.
Obamacare has been fine for me so far. (:
And Galveston is not a CA beach. But I've never been a beach goer... It seems kind of mucky compared, though.

It really helps. Yes I fear those summers haha. I get migraines in hot weather. And I do love the beaches so much so I don't know...
