The thing with houston is we have them but if you go inner loop river oaks,west u,memorial you dont see them at all. You also dont have boats in driveways in these nice areas. Houston is really good about keeping the good parts good. West U has its own police, River Oaks has the RoPo and there is never any crime in those parts, literally lived in west u my whole life im 36 now and the only murder was that railroad killer killing 1 woman 20 years ago. In New Orleans, even nice areas, you're at risk all day/everyday.

that is sort of my point. New Orleans is an old city that has long been developed. The lines have been drawn.
Houston has been able to grow into itself because there is land. If Houston was limited to the 3rd ward, heights, River oaks and downtown, we would have the same issues that New Orleans has. Drive around u of H and there are a ton of nice looking old house that people just white-flighted the frick out of.
There is no way you could have a Bellaire or west U in New Orleans. Just no room.
