Anyone contemplating leaving this city?

I just don’t see what the point is for me or the appeal with this city anymore. It has very poor infrastructure, public transport and safety. It’s been almost 7 days without power at this point; I’ve spent 2 weeks this year already without power and we’re only halfway through 2024. Sure we have good food in Houston, the rodeo and NASA. But I’m really struggling to justify living here and not moving to Austin or Dallas? I’ve been in Houston since 2012 and it’s just kinda been the same in terms of infrastructure, no major improvements just poor patchwork. I feel like the privatization of the energy grid here alone is a major problem. I rode the metro “rail” the other day for the first time, it’s basically a bus with extra steps waste of taxpayers money. We’re paying taxes for roads but still have to pay tolls. We’re paying taxes for law enforcement but the city is still crime ridden. We’re paying taxes for public infrastructure but the roads are full of potholes and the public transportation system is garbage. Living here feels like letdown after letdown.
