If your talking about "Houston Texas" then Houston is not 20,000 ft above. Houston is actually 54 feet above sea level...So then the answer to your question is no...There is no city in the world anywhere close to 20,000 ft above sea level. 10,000-11,000 feet above sea level you have to start using oxygen.
