Today's Houston is what Los Angeles was in the 80s--a large, established city with a thriving corporate-based economy still trying to form its own civic identity. I wish people would stop driving the narrative that LA's nothing but a city full of transplants from east of the Mississippi. The Latinos, Asians, Armenians, and Persians (all racial/ethnic minorities) really don't have any generational connections with the Eastern US, and they're the ones that seem to exude the most civic pride.
