Currently live in Miami. Hate it here. People are terrible, traffic, racism, etc.

Orginally from Michigan and lived in DC previously. I'm in my early 20s, married, and have kids. I need somewhere that would be good for jobs, I'm a bartender, and would be a good place to raise kids and that's not Miami expensive because its too stressful. I don't have a preference really about the weather.

I like Chicago better, but Houston isn't a bad place at all. Houson gets more hate than it deserves in my opinion. For urban living only NYC beats Chicago. Houston is exciting tho because of all the immigrants and the fact that is is a massive city growing at an astounding rate.

At the moment, both seem like good fits. My main issue with Houston is the humidity, but I assume it wouldn't be too much for you if you have experience in Miami. More information is needed, particularly whether or not you plan to stick with bartending or plan to switch to something else.

Agreed. Houston a great city but imo it's no match against "The Windy City". Chicago is world class.

I would say Houston especially considering income versus cost of living.

The COL is a wash these days.

OP, as someone else asked, would you consider other work? Does your SO work? Any idea what budget you're working with?

LOL. No it isn't. Houston is significantly cheaper than Chicago. And probably way more affordable for a bartender.
