I am a native of the Houston area... You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.
While Houston has a vocal Democrat party, it’s hardly a cesspool. Austin is in fact much worse. However, if our police could do their jobs, our city would be nicer - but it’s light years better than Austin; the liberal mecca of Texas.
Have a friend who used to live in Houston 20 years ago. Was nice enough then. At least the downtown has certainly gone downhill (from another friend who recently left). Crime is way up. For example, murders jumped 50% in 2006.
Still plenty of nice burbs, but Houston proper? Unless it has really turned around recently, it’s a mess.
Or has it quietly turned around in the past couple years? Being a Texas resident, I would LOVE to hear that!
I was born and raised in Houston and I’m not suprised at it’s Demonratic tendecies but Austin is our leper colony for sure. Stay away from there.......:)
