If you mean politically scary, I personally find Houston is better than most of Texas--even though it's the south, it's very metropolitan, and while the actual people in control scare me sometimes the actual people I know are reasonable.

If you mean how everything is TEXAS TEXAS TEXAS OMG WE'RE SO BIG AND SPECIAL--same goes. Most people I know don't even have accents, much less big hair and scary make-up.

If you mean how there's nothing to DO here or the weather, I'm SO with you.
