why do people hate houston?

Born and raised Houstonian.  I hate Houston because people just seem to get meaner and meaner over the years.  It is expanding and building over every green spot in the city, (called "development") so the only scenery we have is cement.  (Wasn't like that when I was younger, only 20 years ago.)  It's humid, it's stinky in areas, and there is a high crime rate that only keeps rising.  \n\nWhy I love Houston: my friends/family are here as well as my job.  You just can't beat the job market.

People hate Islam, because the media makes them hate Islam, 'whynotaskdon', you are racist, and the Holy Koran is the most pure, most untouched book in the Universe. \n\nTerrorists blowed up the twin towers, was it really terrorists, or an excuse by the U.S. Government to wage their wars against Muslims? \n\nThe U.S. Government is hitting two birds with one stone, they don't like Muslims so they are killing them, they wan't/ need oil, so they are taking that too. \n\nTHE MEDIA IS A POWERFUL WEAPON\n\nI am a Muslim and have to admit their are some extremists in Islam, like in most religions. But what are the percentage of the extremists? 0.000001 % ?\n\nPeople judge billions of people over a few people. You are not to blame, the Media is the ones to blame, they are supposed to give a biased view, but they are doing everything but that.\n\nI as, a Muslim have respect for the People of the Book* and their followers, even if i don't agree with all the things that is said. \n\nI have respect for people who follow their religion honestly.

there are many reasons that people hate america. imagine you were say a 10 year old in afghanistan. you just are living your life, you have done absolutely NOTHING wrong, and then the U.S. starts bombing your country. why do they do this... only because the u.s. are extremely oil dependant and greedy!! now i am not talking about al-quaida or anything, but the sentiment in the middle east and many other areas in the world is at a gigantic low since president bush was elected. the u.s. is not what it used to be, a country that helped out others in time of need, but they governed by power crazy men.

First and foremost, I want to thank you Almeida for asking this question. Second, I want to say that I hail from Austin, Texas. Third I want to say how much I HATE morons like the other three that answered this Q.\n\nNow, I was born and raised in Texas. I love this state but I also hate most of the people here. I am a democrat and can say that the majority of republicans in TX are uneducated red necks. I really REALLY hate that this great state is looked down upon as a bunch of morons. Although I can certainly understand why we are. YES, Dubya is the worst president of all time. YES, he is a complete moron and should be Impeached 100 times over! I and everyone else in TX with intellegence is ashamed of that ding bat and are sick and tired of these moronic repubs making us ALL look bad. Please know that there are those of us who are not blind sighted oil drillin repub trailer trash. And please GOD let BUSH and his minions get indicted for all the hell they have caused in this world! Thank you, and goodnight!\n\nIMPEACH BUSH!   \n\n-Signed, A Texan with a brain.

Houston is very close to the Gulf.  As a result, the weather is very humid and it rains quite a bit.  The weather can be nice but not in the summer.  It's very hot and very humid.  The zoning is not ideal, meaning that you can have a residential area but then very close by could be farms, industrial sites or what have you.  There are parts that are very nice but those are more costly.   No there aren't a lot of palm trees and I think it's because it can freeze in the winter or flood easily.  There may be some but I didn't see them when I lived there.  Also, since hurricane Katrina, a lot of the victims were transported to Houston and as a result, the crime rate has risen and there's a bit of unemployment.  It's cheaper to buy a house but the property tax makes up for it.  The traffic is one of the worst in the country with Los Angeles being the worst.

You asked. And I am going to answer.\n\nI hate the red sox as much as I hate the yankees.\n\nFor the simple reason that are cocky arrogant self centered egotistical hyprocites.\n\nThere, you have your correct answer.

I don't agree with Bush and his actions, but being from Texas, I think he is just being himself. You can hate Bush for many reasons, but surely you can't hate him for being himself.

I don't believe some of them actually hate the country.  I think their hatred is more towards the government.  But that's just my opinion.

Bush is an awful president and it's shameful to see so many people who like him. \n\na couple of reasons to hate him: \n\n1- He had Bin Laden cornered and had the resources necessary to find him wherever but then he decided to go to Iraq for no valid reason and he is not even trying anymore to bring the greatest criminal to custody. \n\n2- Bush does not appoint people based on their abilities.  Look at Michael Brown at FEMA, his supreme court nominees, etc.  He gives jobs to his friends regardless of the fact they are incompetent for the position.

I agree with Jon. Everyone hates the Astros, I love them, every  night I sit waiting for a segment of the Astros dominating vicory, then only to be put down by the stupid people at espn. If the Astros win it all this year, which the will, nobody will care except the local media. To this I am disapointed

The only people that DONT hate them are thier fans.\n\nAlthough I did find rather amusing that The Red Sox did beat the holy c.r.a.p. out of ny in the 2004 ALCS.

I think many Houston and Texas people are upset because they didn't get Bush.  Here is my positive theory:\nIf the Texans wanted to get short-term ticket sales, they would have gotten Bush.  If they even want to consider winning a superbowl within the next 5 years, they took Mario Williams. Bush is more talented, but the Texans already have a running back-Domanick Davis.  By the way the guy who answered the question b4 me, it's reggie bush not willaims....you may have made a mistake. and the Jet's Suck!!! I am a Pat fan!!!!!!!!

i vastly enjoyed the hurricane beat down. my one buddy is a huge cane fan for no reason other then he is a bandwagon fan. so soon i will have to hate Texas. But yes canes are no longer the team they where teams are more physical then they are and they cant handle the heat. Finally the Miami bias is over just because you are fast doesn't make you an athlete

I'm not totally sure what you're saying but you believe that everyone hates New York based on something some people said in a show? There are tons of people that really like the city so I really don't know what you're talking about.
