I lived in Houston, Dallas West Texas cities as well. Moved to retire in Guadalajara area 2 years ago. Guad region is around 5 million and surrounded by small mountains with Lake Chapala about 30 miles south. The difference between the U.S cities and here is night and day. I much prefer it here. The downtown plazas in Guad are on a huge monumental scale way beyond what we had in the states, the structures old and new are mindblowing, streetlife and culture presence down here is exciting night and day. I would hate to go back to the U.S.
I lived in Monterrey for awhile and would move back in a heartbeat if the city violence calmed down and I had a decent paying job there. Houston doesn't have any of Mty's natural beauty, but it affords me a quality of life I couldn't get there.

Monterrey is sick gorgeous. My best friend moved there and I love to go visit. Downtown nights are so pretty there and fun. A little dusty up there compared to down here in Guadalajara. Sultan of The North is what we call Monterrey down here.
As much as I respect Guadalajara all I have to say is "who cares"
Unless this conversation brings any value to Houston and not Guadalajara I really can care less..
And absolutely enjoy your retirement, best wishes, stay happy and healthy, but if is not and about Houston, again, who cares :-)
