I don’t think so Houston rank lower in Atlanta in every way from a professional point of view .

@@crazyyakuza8741 Houston higher GDP and GDP per capita

Thank you for this comment because I currently live in Houston about 2 yrs. I I was born here but lived in Colorado most my life came back to Houston to live and it’s not the same at all it’s not diverse anymore and it’s overrated! Ready to leave already to ATL or NC. Houston is not like it use to be.

@@Lee_709 wait a minute, Houston is even more diverse than it’s ever been. I have my complaints about Houston no doubt but diversity and food are not one of those complaints. It’s one of the most diverse cities in America. It’s more diverse than Atlanta or any city in NC.

​​@@Lee_709 I lived in Colorado, Smyna, GA, Houston, So. California. Houston is the worst place I have ever lived. People are horrible, roads destroyed with no repairs, Extreme Road Rage, No respect for each other nor the road. Texas is overrated. Lot of small minded people. Human Trafficking. Scams, Crime.

Houston is not more diverse . Who would want to live in Houston ? Who has money that want to live there ? What’s going on in Houston ? Nothing . Atlanta is way better in everyway .

@@crazyyakuza8741 are you speaking personally or statistically ? Lol either way, you’re wrong. Houston is way more diverse. Who has money that wants to live in Houston ? You sound like someone that only follows rappers and reality shows. One city has 2million people and the other has 400k but you think all of this?? ok. Lol

@@wheel-e-umm no it’s not I live on n both cities … that’s a pretty tough call .. that’s like you’re taking count of everyone around and culture wise.

@@wheel-e-umm I’m speaking from personal experience living around Houston and looking for certain restraunts . Looking for certain type of people . Doing things to see what the cities has to offer . No way in the world that Houston is more diversity . And like he said is False is Houston is bigger Atlanta … that’s funny becuase l if you’re talking about city limits then who’s gonna count downtown only . You can go pass marrietta and they still have store , business tagging Atlanta . Houston doesn’t have no where near the amount of cities that Atlanta has . When they people talk about the city they’re usually mentioning the metro area . Atlanta has a metro population of 8.1 million people

@@crazyyakuza8741 Metro Houston is still way more populated than Metro Atlanta. Atlanta just seems more crowded because of the terrible freeways they have.

Lmao, you wanna move to Texas? It sucks bro, I’m not even being one of those it’s overrated, I’ve visited Florida and it’s way more to do l, better weather, better vibe, better food, and etc

Yes, Houston is close to the beach (20 minutes to 1 hour depending on where you live in Houston). It’s also close to Central Texas (3.5 hours), also known as the Hill Country which is very popular for bikers. However, Atlanta is close to the Smoky Mountains (3.5 hours), which are the tallest mountains west of the Rockies. The top scenic route for bikers is the Blue Ridge Parkway. Both cities are great for jobs. If you’re not married, the men in Houston are slightly better.

April and May has good weather too. It’s June-sept that gets rough

simple minded ignorance.

Everytime it rains

This is a lie on wheels. Houston really floods during major tropical storms. True , in the last decade, Houston got hit with storms and then Harvey 3 yrs in a row, but that's not the usual. Usually, a flood the magnitude of Harvey or a tropical storm usually happens once every 20 years.

Is that right? I live in Tennessee. Considering one of these places. I’m in Knoxville, kind of close to Atl

So true I live in Houston and it is not what it’s made out to be trust and believe. But I’ve been thinking about Atlanta myself.

@@Lee_709 it’s fun 🤩

These mf is lying Because I have lived in Houston for 2 year . Houston is not bigger . These mf are talking about downtown only 🤣🤣🤣 try going from south side to north side Atlanta , it’ll take you a hour and a half . Atl metro has 8 million people while Houston is lucky to have 4 million . These guys are definitely biased on this review beside who the hell wants to be in Houston ?

Atlanta all day everyday?

Atlanta has safer suburbs north of I-20. Houston suburbs are all over the place.

Atlanta has better education, less poverty, lower unemployment, more job growth, and more outdoorsy activities. Problem solved.

​@bluelivesmurder5696 less poverty? Its lots of people in atlanta that are impoverished.

@@derricklyons2232 Atlanta's unemployment rate is 5.3%. Houston's unemployment rate is 8.0%. Atlanta residents, on average, make about 10,000 more dollars per year than Houston residents. Atlanta has a more diverse economy. You do the math.

No it ain’t Houston catching more hats then atl mane Ong

Don’t feel bad, a lot of people make that mistake. I don’t know how many times I have to tell people that metro population is what need to be compared with large cities. He basically talked about 750,00 people and completely ignored the other 6 million that live in the suburbs lol! With that said, Houston metro is still larger by close to a million people. Dallas Ft Worth is larger than both. A lot of people seem to not know that. DFW will hit 8 million probably in the next 3-5 years.

Yeah

Charlotte hands down.

@@LivinginAtlantaTeam The Hispanic thing is very tricky though....I imagine Houston(and Texas generally) has more white Latinos and that really will change the feel of it versus an LA or NYC. Be careful with how you evaluate "diversity". Remember that designations like Hispanic or Latino didn't really exist until a couple of decades ago. And places like Texas have a different history of how they fit into their racial landscape than a California generally or even New York which were more intense in targeting certain Latin groups for segregation. To my knowledge, many Texas Latinos, for example, could go to white schools during Jim Crow whereas in LA and NYC...lesser so. Just be careful with how you fit this group into a "diversity" narrative in the U.S. context. None of these places are particularly racially harmonious either so avoid implying that "diversity" means folks will run into less racism in a city or metro. It's just not true. LA is even known for inter-ethnic tensions between blacks and more marginalized Hispanics for.example. This exacerbates the issues of both kind of being priced out of LA. I suggested a way of evaluating how meaningful diversity is in a context beyond just the ability to allegedly avoid racism and eat at a variety of restaurants in a comment above but if your target audience is a specific demographic, maybe that matters less as a sort of superficial diversity is enough for them to feel comfortable.

@@2008bscott It's not that deep brother. I am not qualified to nor do I have any intention to comment on racial harmony in these cities. I'm simply trying to help folks get a sense for if they are likely to see other people like themselves, as that tends to be very important for many people. But thank you for the word salad I guess?

@@2008bscott Traditionally in Texas, Hispanics meant Mexican with native Aztec/Mayan heritage (shorter, stout, darker skinned people) crossing into Texas to find legitimate work. This influx occurred after NAFTA (early 90's) when poor native village people and farmers were forced to close their small businesses and farms. In the late 90's, early 2000's there was an influx of El Salvadorians into Texas as a result of the drawn out civil war and the so-called "war on drugs" allowing "refugees" with "shady pasts" to enter. This new wave is an influx of white latinos (taller, light eyes, white skin) from El Salvator, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Colombia, etc. As you stated, most of them identify as white and are accepted as white. They are educated and typically the "upper class" of those countries coming in to take advantage of the Texas/U.S. economy. Please note, back in their countries, racism against native heritage people and Black people is rampant. There are rarely any shorter, stout, darker skinned Hispanics with strong native blood allowed in anymore.

Yes, it’s also not a segregated city like many other so called diverse cities.

I think you're projecting quite a bit with this comment. I think the points I'm trying to make throughout the video are quite clear and if you're picking up racist tones from me discussing the food scene than I'm willing to bet you would get that impression no matter what I said. I'm glad you have lots of opinions of what a more appropriate comparison would have been but for the purposes of my channel (helping people who are relocating), I think this is quite helpful (or at least I've been told by many people it is). I'm just a guy in Atlanta offering up some thoughts and opinions based on my experience. I don't work or speak for the government, I'm not a statistician or even a full time video producer. It's so easy to nitpick words and criticize perceived meanings in an effort to sound intelligent. When I reference diversity in food, I simply mean there are lots options from different cultures. When I reference racial diversity, I simply mean you are likely (or not likely) to see people from those backrounds there. People can and do search statistics online. On KZfaq, they are looking to relate to someone and hear their perspective on something, which is all I'm trying to do. Also, if you think Atlanta has a pro-public transport disposition and that the heavy rail is anywhere near sufficient than I'd be very wary of any insights you have to offer. Theres a big difference between referencing statistics and conveying the practical realities of every day life in an American city.

@@LivinginAtlantaTeam You used projection improperly. I'm not a white person trying to integrate their interpretation of "diversity" into a comparison of two cities and then getting defensive and saying "it's not racist to say blah blah, and you know my intent, blah blah blah". Either way, don't be defensive, just take what I said seriously and improve the analysis and make it LESS superficial. I have watched a few videos and believe you are smart and good enough to do better and think a little deeper about these issues and how you should discuss them. You are the one who implied that "people will have to worry less about racism in a more 'diverse' area" As a black person from Georgia, I am telling you it is NOT true especially for black people. Consider why the reverse migration is happening from midwestern and Northeastern cities, including places like NYC.. We are being priced out of them and the south is cheaper AND because people experienced lots of racism in those cities that WERE historically more "diverse" than these southern cities and metros you speak of today that we are helping to "diversify". We aren't excited to go to places like Houston because they are less racist but because they are cheaper and we can maybe survive there. And even then, you'd have to be more honest and say: "Look these places have segregation but a having sizeable ethnic enclaves is something that may be more comforting and appealing to certain minority groups that have historically faced discrimination" and that would be true to some extent (the problem with blacks though is that we are usually relegated to black areas)" actually IN THE VIDEO and not as a reply to me. Just be really careful in any analysis discussing diversity is all I'm saying. And go look up stats on things like public transport when you do more of these comparison videos (you definitely could have done better there). It ain't that hard. I think a better way to discuss diversity would be to say: "Okay Atlanta/Atlanta metro has this percent of blacks and they tend to live in these enclaves and this is how they are doing along these metrics which is above or below the national average for blacks which would suggest that this could be a better or worse place for blacks than other cities in the U.S." or "Houston has x amount of Latinos/Hispanics (again be careful about this category) and they tend to have enclaves in this area of town or the metro for those concerned and this is how they do in these metrics" and so on for different Asian populations. Again, it shouldn't merely matter whether we can "see each other" (and honestly, there is no coalition for POC so what if I am black and move to Miami. Blacks in Miami, a majority Hispanic town, are doing HORRIBLY. There is no comfort afforded in seeing just any old POC. It's about whether MY people are there or not and how they are doing), but it matters where can we see each other and how we are doing in the contexts of those cities. Like what would it matter if I moved to LA or Chicago and they are "diverse", have a decent percent of my group and I see an insane amount of us homeless or on the brink of foreclosure or eviction even more so than other places with less or more of my group? I'm just saying. If I'm a Hispanic from a certain nationality, is Miami with its very high overall Hispanic population but low wages vs. cost of living good for me, or should I just suck it up and go try Houston which has a large Hispanic population but has Hispanics who may earn better wages on average? Same with maybe like a Cleveland or Dallas vs. Atlanta or something. If you are going to bring diversity concerns into it, I think it is more helpful to anyone to have that type of analysis because when people move they are often hoping for newer oppurtunities or a better environment than what they left. We shouldn't be satisfied with: "Well plenty of my people are there so I can look at and maybe talk to them". And I stand by what I said about the food because among many ethnic groups in the U.S. including my own (who has propagandized to be sort of ashamed of things like southern food and black food) seem to turn their nose up at certain American food options like southern and black American soul food and all types of foods associated with black Americans to the point where it usually doesn't fit into a discussion of "diverse" food options. And regardless you could have done Atlanta better on that front by saying: "Look if you want to go to a place that has a high concentration of X types of cuisine in the Atlanta area, the Gwinnett and Dekalb portions of Buford highway are excellent and are not far out suburban areas".

@@2008bscott I agree with your assessment. In may cases, when diversity is used as a positive aspect to describe a city, it's code this is a refuge city for various foreign parties (outside of the African influence).

I agree with you, I've been to super diverse cities like LA and NYC and had a horrible time which shocked me. Now I do feel Houston does a much better than most cities, still I think you can't go wrong with atl, especially if you include gwinnett county. The big thing is if you have a higher number of black people that's doing well I experience less racism.

@@2008bscott mannn somebody needs a video on what you just said. Reverse migration is a big deal, like why would black people leave diverse cities just to move to cities that's less diverse? Well lack of jobs, more hidden racism, some areas we can't really go no matter how nice. what was the saying "white people in the north don't care how we live just as long as we don't get close and in the south whites don't care as long as we don't get too big". I perfer cities like LA, NYC, Chicago due to diverse people but its more of an uphill battle to get ahead. As far as food, yeah people do hate or make fun of our food like ours don't matter its sad, soul food is just as good as asian food or mexican food depending on where you go but damn the media got our food looking lesser than and that sits in our minds. Still I feel gwinnett county is one of the better suburbs for black people in the u.s I find black, latino, and asians all on 1 street and nobody is hating on the other because alot of black people in those burbs make above #30-$40k which is around the average amount black people make. Now I'm not gonna shit on houston since I've never been but I feel it couldn't be worse than living in LA.

I would think ATL has better nightlife just from seeing how it is on TV, movies an in music videos. I could see Houston having better BBQ though lol

@@Yezzurski different strokes for different folks And coming from a person tht has actually been to Atl in person rather then just watching it on TV 🤣I'll be the first to say Atl nightlife isn't anywhere close to comparing to Houstons nightlife maybe L.A.
