It is a pointless discussion. It is great that you have fallen in love with the old European aspects of Mexico, but that is exactly what they are: old European. Neither Houston nor any other American city is ever going to look like this. We dumped European ownership before there was much development of our country and we went off in our own direction. Mexico was under Spanish control for longer and maintained a very heavy Spanish influence thereafter. Mexico wanted to look like Europe. The set of pictures that you posted that were not of natural beauty (which Houston can do nothing about) look like any decent sized city in Spain (or elsewhere in Europe for that matter).

Can we change the title to "Mexico is better than Houston"?

As a retired Texan living in Mexico I would hope so. Brother they have some things to teach us.I promise you that.
Can they teach us how to send all our poor to a different country so we don't have to deal with them like mexico does? Can they teach us how to let drugs cartels take over the country. I really want to learn how to do that.

Wow. Houston must be doing really well lately, so many pent-up jealous people obsessing over what foolishness they must come up with next to try and discredit it!

By the way, ya'lls forum seems rather lacking in, um, oversight.
