Any sephardim that live in Houston? I want to come check out the area Jan 26-Jan 29th, hoping someone would be able to host me and my family (5 ppl). Please PM, thank you.

First map looks like you even have a Brooklyn wannabe around the corner...

And a Lakewood wannabe.

[ExGingi]

And a Lakewood wannabe.

For some reason I knew about that for quite a while, just found out about Brooklyn now. (Hey, I've acknowledged living in a bubble...)

When are we getting Lakewood, OH and Brooklyn, OH master threads "things to do etc."

CLE is 4 minutes
NYC is 16 minutes.

That's a huge jump. Both 4X more of your money spent and 4X more of your TIME spent. What a waste!

Yet for some reason CLE residents find good reasons to come to NYC, a lot fewer NYC residents find reasons to go to CLE

Because CLE is a great place to live and NYC is a great place to visit?

+1000!

Yes! Also, if one adds up 4x the money and 4x the time with each week in only travel time, one could possibly save $10,000+ and 1,000+ hours every quarter of every year!

Or take the subway in NYC and you'll save more than driving in Cleveland.

Can't say anything about CLE, never been there, but I have yet to find anywhere like Brooklyn, everything is accessible and available within comfortable walking distance or great public transportation, with abundant choices for shopping, schools, etc. etc.

And I doubt whether there's any place other than Crown Heights where one can look forward to having as many unknown guests as they can fit in to their house for the coming Shabbos and YomTov meals!

Yep, I tell people this all the time and nobody believes me

Obviously every place has pros and cons. Sounds like you're happy there, which is great.

Uber in most big/high COL cities is higher than the rest of the country. NJ rates are similar to OH.
