I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from visiting Houston for sure. Compared to most large American cities, Houston is quite clean and safe. In fact, even though it's the 4th largest city in the US, it ranks about 20th in violent crime. Houston's downtown is especially spick & span. I guess I just didn't want a foreigner to come into Houston with a false sense of security, given my professional background.
