Houston as the next great American city

I wouldn't have guessed at first glance, but Joel Kotkin makes a good case for Houston as the next big city in the US. It's mainly driven by the entrepeneurial spirit of the city's residents, like a perpetual boomtown.

Kotkin also challenges those who say that the best cities are those that are "liveable" and have lots of cultural crap, which I always like.
