There are plenty of things to love about Houston, but we have to agree with JJ Watt on these two things that Houston can do without.
HOUSTON — Oh, Houston! The city that’s a melting pot of cultures, the city that has some of THE best food in the country and the city that’s not Dallas. (sorry, Dallas friends!)
We could write a love story for Houston that talks about all the great things it has to offer, but let’s be real, there are some things that are a part of our city that get a one-star rating.
Just ask former Houston resident J.J. Watt .
Last year, he was asked on Twitter which city has the worst heat: Arizona (his new home) or Houston?
To no one’s surprise, his response was Houston.
“Houston by a mile.” the former Houston Texans defensive end said. “That humidity was no joke.
Another Twitter user, @HannahJordan_, came back with an excellent follow-up question that said, “So you don’t miss H-E-B?”
JJ responded by saying, “Hell yea I miss HEB. Place is legendary and what Mr. Butt did during the hurricane relief efforts, I will never forget.”
He went on to say, “I miss a lot of things about Houston. Two main things I don’t miss: Traffic & Humidity.”
We must admit, although the humidity is good for your skin and keeps you looking younger, it can be unbearable during Houston’s summers. And the traffic, well that’s a story that we just don’t have time to tell.
