goldfish,

I don't think including parts West Virginia invalidates the comparison, but you can easily remove it and it wouldn't change much from the unemployment standpoint.

As to your second point, here's one list that shows cities w/ the most highway miles per-capita. Houston is near the top, and DC is near the bottom. Houston proper is more than 600 square miles, though. Houston's highways are wider than what we have in most places in the DC area as well.

But, you should provide some statistics to show that Houston metro has less highways than DC.
