Hello, I am moving from Ottawa, Canada to Houston for my Ph.D in Economics at University of Houston. I have a wife and kid and my top priority is safety. However, living on university funding, I also cannot pay more than 700 bucks for rent. 600 would be more manageable but willing to go up to 700. I read this: http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...?showtopic=6863 and found out that many neighbourhoods are dangerous. Can you make some suggestions regarding which neighbourhoods to look into? Also, if I buy a car, is commuting from Sugarland or Pearland feasible in the long run? Finally, how worried should I be about the hurricane season?
