Since when has the US Corp of Engineers been classified as “local government”?
That’s a fair point. I would say Texas’ congressional delegation was more interested in keeping proper funding for the Corps projects, while Louisiana’s congressional delegation was more interested in hiding cash money in their freezer.
Also, the Harris County Flood Control District is beyond reproach. Didn’t a lot of money end up missing from New Orleans drainage projects?

Upkeeping specific flood control structures probably isn't quite the same as ensuring the integrity of an entire levee system.

That bloody mary bar at Atchafalaya Restaurant though.
Top notch.

the New Orleans Times Picayune reported that annual levee inspections in Orleans Parish tended to be quick drive-by affairs ending with lunch for 40-60 people costing the state as much as $900.
Does that sound familiar? Hint: Hard Rock Hotel.

Mardi Gras every night of the week

Houston has proven that being an oasis of concrete with a lack of culture work just as well as a z pack.

I have no clue the context of that passage, but regardless, my point stands. As does the earlier point made about Army COE's role.
ETA...sorry Oizers, meant for Bill Gannon a couple above you.

All tourism is not equal. While Houston did have some big events, people are not coming from China and Europe to go to the rodeo like they are for Mardi Gras.

The funny thing is, you think I’m knighting for New Orleans and/or its leadership, when I’m willing to acknowledge both are many times more fricked up than you can even begin to realize.
I’m simply pointing out, you have no clue what you’re talking about here.

Harris County handles public emergencies better.

Harris County (4.5 million population and 25 percent black = 1,125,000 blacks) has more African Americans than Orleans Parish (400,000 population at 60 percent black = 240,000).
In fact, more than 4.5 times more.

Who really knows.
But the makeup of Mardi Gras (more national/international) is different than rodeo (regional).
What's odd is the huge Chinese population in Houston that one would have thought it would have introduced it in Houston.
Regarding flooding, Houston is sitting on a disaster. The third reservoir was never built, development has exploded, and the water has to go somewhere.

Harris Couty has one of the more advanced emergency management centers and infrastructure
Judge Emmett hired a deep, well-staffed and knowledgable teams Hildago has kept all of those people
the head of Harris County Health is an expert in pandemics Houston Harris COunty has been preparing for a pandemic episode for over twp decade as a part of annual training.
Houston being a primary target and as an area that has a large and diverse international community
Plus Texas Medical Center and all their expertise is a resource
we're better prepared and trained than a lot of Countries

While all of that may be true and admirable (and much of it, something I wish I could say about Louisiana and New Orleans). None of it was really a factor in anything here.

How is this a question?
Texas is 10x more functional as a state ... from the State Gov all the way down to Municipal level, than Louisiana is.
