Hey did you consider EWR? It has a "tropical" feel to the weather a few months out of the year and they do have smaller cockroaches than Hawaii.

Truthfully, if you can put up with the traffic IAH is not a bad place and you can live in some great communities within an hour drive of the airport. Taxes are ok in TX, land a whole lot cheaper and a whole bunch of choices for schools. But, the weather gets severe occasionally and a bit hot and humid even when compared to the Islands.

Best choice is not to commute.

BTW I'm one of those DEN-SFO commuters with lots of seniority and I quite often end up in the cockpit (over 50%). You will most likely have to come out the day before and spend an average of $100 a night for a hotel room in SFO and LAX just a little less.
