NOLA is broke, but NOLA has no major industry except for tourism
Houston has significant property taxes which stay local, a ton of major employers, massive income coming from the energy, financial, and medical sectors, etc.
If Houston is broke they are being run FAR worse than NOLA is, considering the income Houston is bringing in.

Not quite true. You can live 1/2 mile from your property and have nearly half the taxes that you do now. MUD districts, which real estate agents are surprisingly bad at paying attention to, can save you tens of thousands of $ a year, if they just advised you to buy on this side of a particular road instead of the other.

Even with that, they are still more than NOLA... because cities in Texas focus on property taxes a lot more because of the lack of a state income tax / state spending.
City of Houston has a lot more per capita budget than NOLA does... they also have to pay for a lot more things than NOLA does because so much in NOLA is funded by the state.
I'm a fan of more local control... but seeing what Houston is doing makes me look bad...

What do you consider Houston? It takes 90 minutes to drive from one side to another with no traffic. Sugarland is not Katy. Which is not Cypress. Not the Woodlands, not the Heights. etc. I'm not going to argue with local control, ever, as long as the money stays there.
Again, my bitching was about places barely a mile from each other where the tax rate is either 3.65 or it's 2.2. Oil crash, yeah, Fort Bend maxes everyone out out at a 10% valuation increase. I got a wee bit old dude angry when I looked up property taxes in Southlake had risen less than 5 or 6 percent *over a five year period.*
And Fort Bend voted for a sycophant of the old c%nt of FBCAD that retired. Fort Bend can eat a bag of hot dogs. I can live anywhere with high speed 'net, but I'd like to get laid occasionally.

Yes it is. I see it. And it’s indicative of its citizens. And the ones who are able to help, don’t. BARC, Harris County, DAS, Ft Worth, Montgomery County, ACS, Nueces, and many more areas. Decent citizens should be ashamed and on their town officials to do something.

Sounds like these big companies should move to New Orleans

Houston's biggest problem is that it's an hour away from Houston

I’m interested to read this. It was so obvious there was some shady shite going on with that. It was embarrassing for Turner to use “diversity” as a contributing factor against the Pappas family who themselves immigrated here from Greece.

We are doing just fine up here in Montgomery County!

Montgomery County- I played pro NFL and spent more on my car than on my house, but my neighbors think I'm rich because I put a full sized basketball court in the family room.

Houston has ginormous wealth. But NEVER underestimate the power of liberals to destroy.

It sounds great. Why don't you get one of these jobs?
It sounds great for people who do not want to work or grow ever in their life and are very very good at saying Yes. All process driven. Most of the employees dont even have 4 hours of consistent work a day. No talk, just facts.
I dont like the thought of using government employees to spur Economy, Louisiana absolutely loves this.
