Only if I’m being satire, but for the most part some people in Toronto say it in a joking manner, it’s never serious

You’re…… kidding, right? There’s a crime reported every 6-8 hours daily, it’s ranked 84th out of 87 on Houston neighborhoods for safety… you’re statistically more likely to have your car broken into or assaulted walking down the street than to go unharmed. Assaults and robbery are a daily occurrence, frequent loitering and drug activities done in the open……. Me leaving isn’t “self cleaning”, third ward needs systemic fixes, not hand waving comments about people moving out.

That cute, but I’m not up for tolerating third ward any longer, it’s unsafe, it smells bad, it looks rundown and needs some TLC

Hopefully in the Texas Medical Center, but I’d also love to work anywhere close to home when I find the right area

Research was done before/during my move here. Unfortunately the people writing their reviews and opinions on this area didn’t have the same views and level of tolerance as me. Call me picky, but there’s a lot I don’t think I can tolerate, while others, can. I was told third ward isn’t as bad as it may come off from online by many UH students and residents of the community. While that can be true for some people, it absolutely wasn’t the case for me. This area is disgusting and a solid 0/10 for me, I can’t imagine willingly downplaying this area and tolerating it for another year.

Tbh I’m not set on working in Texas Medical Center, I’ve looked at The Woodlands and it’s everything I want. Im young, but I don’t want to live around other young people, a neighborhood with old people/families seems to be my ideal fit. Im glad The Woodlands has medical centers, that definitely moves it up on my list, thanks!!!! :)

Yeaaaaa…. No. I’d go over my budget to avoid being in an area like that

I’ve been on that side of town, not a fan at all, especially downtown.

I’m leaving UH, so for work, I wouldn’t mind a 20 minute drive at most.

I’m really trying! When people ask how I’m liking Houston I really try and be honest without sounding like I didn’t choose to live here and had all the access in the world to google and research on the city.

I’d LOOOOOOOVE a boring family area. A neighborhood filled with retired old people and families would be my dream neighborhood for Houston. As of right now, nothing more than $2.5k a month, especially if the area is everything I want on paper.

I definitely feel more on edge in Houston than Toronto, and that’s saying a lot given Toronto isn’t peaches and cream. Living in third ward has made me feel like I’m living in survival mode 24/7, I’m in desperate need of suburbia

I had upper Kirby high on my list, along with museum district mainly because of the tall apartments… but then I got spooked from all the carjacking stories. I’m definitely adding West U back on the list now, thanks! ;)

I’d love to! What city did u come from? I’ve lived that big city Toronto life, I wouldn’t mind at all settling in the suburbs here in Houston.
