True dat. 🙂
I lived in NYC briefly back in 1997 when it was safer and cleaner than it is now.
It still sucked. NYC was THE worst place I have ever lived - and I’ve lived in 8 states and 4 foreign countries. I’ve lived in over 20 different cities. I’ve lived in a town with 10,000 people. NYC was hands down the worst place I’ve ever lived.
and everybody says its worse now.
Go back where you belong and stop polluting Texas.
“...it seems like I’m stuck here for good, or at least until my kids grow up..”
Oh no, that’s okay...you don’t have to wait.
And a quarter of the population was born outside of the US.
True ... Houston: one of several Texas cities that have been polluted by the Trash moving in from the North and bringing their voting habits with them ...
I've always lived near NYC, but only recently returned to Manhattan for medical treatments. These days I always have a driver and the drivers seldom take the same routes.
I've been amazed at how clean the City looks; even the West Side. I also see lots of carefree kids riding scooters &c.
NYC is not the cesspool that I imagine San Francisco to be.

And New Orleans ... Katrina
I worry about my kids’ safety wherever they go while living in a state with historically loose gun laws.
I’m originally from NY. I’d NEVER go back to try to live.
Too much damned gun violence.
Neither Texas nor Houston is the south.
Texas is Texas.
And Houston/Harris County are not the south.
That video is awesome
“I’ll pay for this bitch’s plane ticket back to New York.”
I’ll chip in! Just to get her FURTHER away from Arizona....

“DEADLY 2022: Houston leads Chicago, NYC, and LA in homicides so far this year
“If it keeps up this pace, we’re going to be well over 500 murders this year,” said Houston Police Officers’ Union president Douglas Griffith. “I have family here. I grew up here. It’s one of those things, I’m fearful for my family, just to go out of the house.”
Griffith believes the rise in violence across Houston is mainly the result of two issues. He says HPD is very understaffed and desperately needs to hire additional officers.
In addition, Griffith believes court judges need to stop letting violent criminals out of jail on bond.”

Crime is extremely local. I’d guess parts of Houston - particularly the melanin-rich parts - truly ARE dangerous. But if she was in a trailer park in a small town of Texas, she’d be pretty safe.
In Arizona, the corridor running along I19 to I10 then on north to Phoenix and turning west to LA is dangerous. Lots of crime due to lots of drug running. If you are 3 miles or more away, your safety goes WAY up. Move into a Trump-loving small town, and regardless of color, you’ll be very safe!
Approach any random male neighbor and actually introduce yourself. Ask him to teach your children gun safety.
Next,teach your daughter to keep her pants on and not be a slut.
There, I just solved all of your problems.

“Griffith believes the rise in violence across Houston is mainly the result of two issues. He says HPD is very understaffed and desperately needs to hire additional officers.”
HPD is corrupt and recruits those “released” from sheriff’s department.
Harris County Sheriff’s not much better. Harris County Constables had the right mindset at least in NW County.
She should definitely leave...she sounds like a train wreck, and there are too many of them in Austin for TX already.
A simple move to Austin should relieve her nostalgia.
