I don't want to go the poli board route here in the OT... but using that, you should be able to figure out how Houston got to this point.

My neighbor was NOPD and he retired in his early to mid 50's. He is in his mid 80's and still going strong. He gets a new truck about every 4 years. He is well taken care of...

Hurricane Katrina refugees being housed in the Astrodome were 'underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them. No wonder they've stayed. They're so spoiled.'

Well the article you linked gives some sort of answer to your question, assuming you read it.

A lot of this could have been avoided with smarter, more fiscally responsible people managing the city during COVID. Not that it started there, but it definitely could have been remedied at that point.

Doesn’t Houston have over 20 Fortune 500 companies headquartered there? Why they broke?
