Why would he be a troll for putting Houston on the list? It's probably the best value of any big city in the US. 4th biggest city in the US and can still get apts near all the action for $1000/month. That's impossible in Chicago, NYC, LA etc. Also, salaries are just as high here as they are in the other cities because of abundance of jobs in oil, healthcare, finance, law etc. You can make a ton of money in Houston and live for dirt cheap.
Also, I read that there are more single college educated women in the Houston area than anywhere else. I live in Houston and on any given night you will see dime pieces at any of the top bars. Houston is such a hodge podge of girls since so many people move here for school and work from overseas and domestically. You can go to a bar or club and see groups of hot Asians, Colombians, Venezuelans, Brazilians, Mexicans, White girls, Indians, black girls all sitting next to each Other. Whatever your taste in girls are, Houston has it.
Correct regarding NYC and LA, not regarding Chicago. You can get a studio apartment in Lincoln Park for as low as $1,000/month. You can get a studio in Lakeview for as low as $850/month. Additionally, Chicago is extremely walkable and has excellent public transit, so you're saving roughly $5,000/year by taking the car out of the equation and just taking the monthly L Train pass for $100/month.
The "bang for your buck" in Chicago is unparalleled when it comes to North American cities.
