Oh, I have no doubt they will be. It's interesting being in a state with 3 main cities. Seattle has so few nearby and on its level, it really draws in everyone from the area, good and bad. Houston seems like it can avoid that pretty well.

I really did like a lot of Redmond, it reminded me of where I grew up (Camarillo, CA). Houston is less beautiful, and the city proper has a lot of issues, but I suspect the triangle sub/exurbs will be resilient to a lot.

Oof, yeah survived is an apt description for working there. The culture really leaves something to be desired. Same with its impact on the city. I grew up in Redmond, a direct product of the investments Microsoft made in that community. I have yet to see anything comparable from the new giant.
