Review of Houston, Texas


Over Worked Police
Star Rating - 1/28/2010
It seems like crime is becoming so bad in Houston that police officers assume everyone is a criminal and treat innocent citizens like we are all carrying weapons. Recently I came close to getting into an accident with a police car after I couldn't see around the corner too well and two squad cars followed me home with their lights and sirens on. I understand they're doing a job, but this is overkill. I've had my car stolen 3 times since living in Houston and each time it took over 2 hours before the police showed up to take a report. I have come to the conclusion that this city is way too big and the crime is getting out of control. I am planning on moving to a smaller city once I can find a job.

Margaret, I'm a native Houstonian, and I agree with you 100%. I can't move yet either, but I'm certainly thinking about doing so within the next few years. I have to establish myself with my degree first. This is NOT the Houston I grew up with, and I'm really bothered by how much it has changed.
