    Calling anywhere in Greater Houston “the middle of an urban area” is just incorrect.

    It’s the 4th most populated city in the US

    lmao

      Houston is so big because the city has absorbed all the communities around it. It’s incredibly sprawled so the density is much lower than cities of comparable population. This creates all sorts of other issues, like the problem of paving over hundreds of square miles of wetland.
