I wouldn't want to get near one.. I just CAN'T imagine driving down the road and seeing a kangaroo! HEEHEE.. Can I ask another silly question.. are they protected? Or do they have to keep the numbers under control? Like, can people hunt them?? There are plenty of wildlife sanctuaries where tourists can go to feed them, but they don't have the big males in there. I have a video of my niece when she was about two or three feeding some kangaroos, and one pushed her over. It was very funny, but no for my poor niece who was terrified. You can't just go out and hunt kangaroos. None of our animals are considered "game". But you can get a licence to cull them. There would be limits on the number you're allowed to cull, but I don't know what that number would be. They are considered a pest in a lot of farming areas due to the numbers of them, hence the necessity to cull.

Hmmmm.... not really beautiful as far as mountains, trees, and lakes go, but I love it. I live in an agricultural area of NorCal. The areas surrounding me are so pretty in the Spring and summer with almond, peach, apricot, and cherry trees in bloom! DH and I travel frequently in our RV, and we both love coastal OR and CA. Never tire of the coast and it’s views.

As @merge said, one doesn't live in Houston for the beauty or the weather, but we do have some beautiful areas that I'm fortunate to live very near to. Driving through Memorial Park makes running errands a little bit better! Well, we live here for the weather if we hate dry or cold. I miss seeing the Houston skyline every week as I would drive to a local restaurant/ live music venue (Last Concert Cafe for the locals). I miss seeing the Be Someone art/graffiti driving back into town from trips west or north. I miss driving by Rocket Park every day going to work and coming back home. I miss waiting for the deer to cross the street in the mornings as I was coming in, too. My brother lives in Dallas. Nothing remarkable to see as I approach his house, but he lives near Kiest Park which is cool and he's on the end of a beautiful trail that's right in his back yard. My sister lives in the TX Hill Country between the Blanco and Guadalupe rivers so she has the best view of the 3 of us every single day. Hi it and merge, at first I agreed with you and said no, I didn’t think I lived in an area of Beaty, but I think Houston and the surrounding suburbs kind of do offer their own kinds of beauty. I do a lot of geocaching with my sons and have caught some spectacular photos even if the do have skylines and highways in the backgrounds. There are some amazing parks and hiking trails in different places around Houston and the burbs where beauty just exists and springs out at you when you don’t expect it.
