Lemon recently pointed out to me that Houston had been declared the #1 city to Live, Work, and Play by Kiplinger.com. I have never personally heard of this magazine, but any magazine that shows you 8 ways to make a million dollars must know what it's talking about. That and the reviewers must all be reptiles and love the 2 seasons that Houston experiences: Summer and almost Summer.
The article basically praised the Houston Downtown area and the Sugarland suburbs. While I totally agree that Sugarland is a great place to live, I must point out the fact that Bellaire HS ranked #102 in the best public high schools in the US, whereas those Clements "pretenders" only managed to eek out a lowly #364.
Just to paint a more vivid picture of this from a completely unbiased viewpoint, if rank corresponded to the days in the year, Bellaire would be a brilliant spring day, with birds chirping, flowers blooming, trees glistening with the morning dew while Clements would be in the middle of winter, where everything is dead, and legions of kitten haters and baby punchers roam the streets*. Do you like being associated with kitten haters or baby punchers? I think not.

Some book ranked Pittsburgh as most livable city too. Perhaps this is because PGH also only has two seasons. However, our two seasons are 1) Winter and 2) Construction.
I think we are set for a city-showdown to determine the undisputed most livable city. However, you can probably keeep the title for #1 city to work and play.
