Everyone here knows I’m not trying to make friends on here, but they should also know my circumstances. If they don’t then F them
It’s always the people who don’t live in Houston trying to tell Houstonians about h town That’s this entire section of the board
Houston is a hard city. Always. Great city but if you’re gonna live in the thick of it, you need to know how to handle yourself. **** can pop off anywhere, anytime. Same thing in Baltimore. Some places just aren’t a joke.

Just found out a friend’s aunt and cousin got killed in H town. The mayor, judges and police chief have to address the crime problem.
Assumptions are plentiful on Clutchfans What if you can own more than one home ? I heard this country is called America but I love assumptions
@Os Trigonum So part of being a pure Houston Rockets fan Is loving the Houston part I just want to say the D&D hates the city of Houston
I took a drive around old sw houston for nostalgia. Everything feels overgrown and it's starting to look like Louisiana. It seems like weed eating and edging is a lost art in sw Houston. Even driving through lakes of fondren and beyonce Frontenac everything is in need of repair and a good power wash. That area hasn't been good for a long time now but ending my trek at westbury square to see people hanging their laundry. It's some weird post apocalyptic abandoned shi*t. I imagine like the colosseum at some point there will be cows stored on the spot that once was the galleria ice rink..maybe some laundry hanging from the rafters where Sbarro used to be
“Until the Coronvirus is resolved, criminals take a break. Stay home. Stay home and don’t commit any crimes. Crooks, criminals, you chill. Wait until the coronavirus is over, OK? And then we'll all be OK!” Well Sly? Crime Stoppers: Houston has endured another horrific wave of violence & bloodshed, causing us to be amidst one of our deadliest years in recent history. At this point, if you’re truly paying attention, you can no longer hide from the reality. The repeated releasing on bond of violent felony defendants, it is a major contributor this spike. Our research has now identified over 120 men, woman, children who have senselessly lost their lives. They’ve been killed because of these repeated releases. Of the over 120, an overwhelming majority would be classified as minorities. 15 were killed trying to flee a domestic violence situation. 9 were children and that number is rising. This is not political but it’s time for every elected official in this city & county to acknowledge this, talk about it and work to fix it. When you endorse or encourage the repeated release of the most violent offenders for the sake of protecting their liberties, the liberties of those offenders, you are immediately and automatically allowing the safety of every Houstonian to take a back seat. It is wrong. Basic common sense would tell you that. If it doesn’t, let’s rely on the data. How do we prevent this? Bond conditions and ankle monitors are not helping in these cases. The DA’s countless request to revoke bond have fallen on deaf ears. Stop releasing people on multiple felony bonds. … Homicides to date and how it compares to same point 2020? Chief Finner: Up 40%. 240. It changes every night. What will be done to make sure judges are not releasing violent criminals on bond? Turner: I am the Mayor of the City of Houston. I am not the mayor of the State of Texas or the region. The judges, the courts are not under my jurisdiction. I don’t control the judges. They’re not under my jurisdiction. I don’t control them. When it comes to law enforcement that I can have a great deal of say over, that’s HPD. Finner: I said last presser & will say it today. There’s a time and place for everything. I’ll meet next week after the holiday and we can talk about it. On bond issue, you said HPD would provide list of the most violent criminals to the courts. Have you done that and what response did you get? Finner: To the DA office. It’s not proper for a police chief to provide anything to the judge. We need to be independent. My point of it is get our most violent criminals arrested, charged, and into the court system, into a trial as quickly as we can. That’s what I meant. Has that happened yet? Finner: We have our list and have been communicating. What are you doing proactively on crimes? Finner: Micah, we’ve been doing everything we’ve been doing and more. We’re doing a lot of initiatives but everyone has to catch up to us. Turner: There’s a number of things we’ve been doing and will continue to do. We’re in the midst of a national phenomenon. What’s happening in terms of increased crime is being done, seen, played out across the country for various reasons. When it comes to support for law enforcement, we’re doing that. If you notice since I became mayor, at a minimum 5 cadet classes every year. We’ve increased that to 6. Provided additional overtime, not just for this weekend but entire summer. More people out on the street, investigating more cases, working more with technology, partnering with other law enforcement, investing in communities, we’re doing that. It also requires the entire city to work together and restore the criminal justice ecosystem that was severely disrupted or dismantled from COVID and even going back to Harvey. Everyone has to do their part. By in large, you can go about this city in a safe way. If any one person, any one family becomes a victim of crime, it’s never safe enough for that family, especially when it relates to our children. …
Just signed a new lease to get the hell out of my residence. I’ve never lived in such a **** hole in my life here in Houston. The only reason why I moved in was because my work was directly behind the complex. Needless to say I quit my job and I’m getting the hell out of here Go Houston!
Where are you moving to? We are in woodlands. The woodlands was my last attempt at living in Houston and so far I like it and am going to stay. I keep thinking of moving to Hawaii but the high school in Lahaina looks pretty lame and I like what the school is like for my kids here in woodlands. Now I'm thinking to stay and still maybe buy here then rent it out later if I want to go check out other places. I've lived in nice places and I can tell you visiting vs living is a big big difference. I spent 6 years in north San Diego ( Pacific beach) and while I would live there again there is no way I'm letting my kids go to mission bay high or even la Jolla high. That said much of schools in Houston are downhill shi**t now..even my beloved Bellaire
