I think we might be dropping Houston as the setting, to avoid it being too different from what locals might know. 

Though the game will be so far in the future, and after major disastors drive people east, I think it could still work.

I'm personally not a huge stickler. You get something wrong, whatever. Hell, I'm not even an expert on my own city. I like the idea of Houston, though, mostly for nostalgia sake. Houston isn't a city you'd think of when somebody mentions "cyberpunk", but that's what makes it so interesting. Also, you're right about the whole future thing- tines change.
