When the city floods yet again, the new 27 year old can “do her best”...

Hidalgo, who is 27, served as a Spanish-English medical interpreter at the Texas Medical Center and remained in a tight race with Emmett on Election Night.
The majority of the Katrina refugees left Harris County when the free hotel rooms, VISA cards and other freebies went away.
A few stayed....they are mostly the ones who are now working, settled and contributing to the community. One such is a friend of ours, who fled Katrina in high school, graduated top of his class, attended med school and is now a PA, at Houston’s largest medical system.
Can you imagine the meltdown if a group of local REPUBLICAN women formed a campaign/group called "White Girl Magic Texas"?
Might just have to happen, now that there is a 'precedent'.
Yes.
This has been happening for decades.
Every teacher, every state and federal employee here in NJ that I know, retires and moves down south (NC is the most prominent place but Florida too). NJ is too expensive. Then they move down south and proceed to vote for what they escaped (as long as the politician is a dem).
We can’t continue to live here. It’s too expensive. My husband wants to move to Florida (and the move, wherever may happen soon since his company is chaos now). I couldn’t move when my parents were alive and I can’t move now because of my kids. Sure, I’ll move, as long as I can see my kids daily or weekly or my grandkids. Sure I’ll move, but now I have medical benefits so I ain’t retiring until I qualify for medicare, lol.
One of my daughters just bought a home in our town...affluent area...I tried to discourage her but they wanted to live and both work here.
We are a close family. We like spending time together. I can’t imagine not seeing my kids daily or weekly. My parents have died but I still have family here. We host Christmas Eve dinner...I can’t imagine moving from here. Told my husband, I’ll move as long as I can come back at least once a month.
I look around my house and still can’t believe I live here. I grew up in a tiny row home in South Philly. Married and lived in an apt in DC then an Apt in this town then a townhouse then this house. This is my family home, where we raised our kids, and I can’t imagine leaving it. It’s not a McMansion but it’s huge compared to what I grew up in. I used to walk down the stairs every day and say I can’t believe I live here.
Sometimes I forget, we have been so very blessed and worked so hard for this.It’s not a McMansion or magazine style house but it’s huge and ours and so many memories here.
My husband says we can’t live here because it’s too expensive and I get that but how can we move? I can’t leave my home, my kids’ home. And I hate living in NJ!
I think I finally understand my Mom’s adversion to giving up her home in south philly to move in with us.My daughter and son in law just bought a home a few blocks from us. I really can’t imagine moving out of state now. I want to be close when they have babies and watch the babies when they go to work. Now I can’t imagine leaving NJ. Ugh.
You have already been informed that Harris County is long gone. SheJac elected multiple times? Joe Green?
You get the picture. It is a cesspool.
It didn’t make NJ residents realize that so I don’t have confidence it will affect the new demographic.
Back in the 70s and early 80s in my high school, the black student caucus developed. I said, then we need a white student caucus, and that was shot down.
This has been going on since at least the 70s and it wasn’t shot down then and here we are.
Identity politics started 40 years ago. Or earlier. Every high school group associated with racial, ethnic, and gender is anti white. And also anti American as we know it.
The demographic has changed.
Forget any justice based on fact or the Constitution in Harris county. Max Watters with Oprah antics, mixed with toxic racism should be fun to watch from a distance.
Get the h out of Harris.
Same in NJ.
We are screwed if we don’t stop this.
Maybe they’ll be a surge like when Trump won in 2016. Then we lost the midterms so I’m not so sure.
“Harris County has been gone a while.”
How much longer before all of Texas is gone?
Here's how it loaded with Reader turned off:
Which is strange since she already has 40 acres of ass and a face like a mule.
>>but with liberal judges the Left will try a new tack of mandating instead of the law that was overturned by proposition.
You are right on that, because that is what California did in spite of a popularly voted proposition (8).
I don’t see Mayor Turner trying to push the issue because he’s a Democrat but he’s not a homosexual as his predecessor was. She left him saddled with a number of policy headaches.
Those concerned about property taxes never seem to get much traction in big cities. People just like “big government.”
Wellllll.....isn’t that an interesting description? Good catch.
Maybe a large chunk of Harris county residents are renters and don’t (directly) pay property taxes.
The businesses are screwed because they, well, are in the city for the business. Most business owners live out in the suburbs, which are mostly conservative....for now.
One of the largest counties, outside of Harris County, just turned blue for the first time in many decades, if ever.
