IMO Houston's main drawback is transit. If you don't have access to, or want, a car the vast majority of Houston is effectively out of reach. Dallas/Fort Worth have an impressive light and commuter rail system despite being as sprawly (and under the same state policies), and while MetroRail is a nice start it seems to have stagnated.
There is also the looming spectre of sea level rise which will turn Buffalo Bayou (and much of the refineries) into an inlet of Galveston Bay by the end of this century (projected 3 foot rise and accelerating).
