Sounds like Houston is just like Detroit.

As a lifelong resident of the city (minus a little time in League City), I am dismayed at what has become of the local government. Still, I can tell you I feel much safer living here than I would in Detroit. I have no problems going out in many parts of Houston by myself, at least in the daytime anyway. I’m pretty sure I would not feel comfortable doing the same thing in Detroit.

Not even close and I would like to hope that it won’t ever be that bad. It is the fourth largest city in the U.S., is a sanctuary city, employment is strong, lots of multiple family construction, lots and lots of money, lot more gays, lesbians and illegals than Detroit ever will have.

It certainly is a whole lot better than many other cities in the U.S. For those of us who have been in Texas for a good long while though, it isn’t what it was several years ago.
