I could not agree more. If the fire ants don't get you, the theives or the traffic nightmares will. I moved to Houston 5 years ago with a promise from my boss that this is the city for growth, advancement, culture etc. Within 2 months my house was robbed twice, murder down the street, my son could not attend the public school cause he didn't speak spanish well enough. All cities have their problems, but goodness there is no saving this one. There aren't enough police to protect the legal residence, much less the immigrants or the evacuees. I gave up and moved to as far away as I could last month. I found a city where the cost of living is equal to rate of pay that is offered. And I don't have to learn spanish to do my job, or fear my neighbors. Everyone should run if they have the means. If you've been stuck in Houston your whole life you don't know what compassion is until you leave. Southern hospitality? Where? Not Houston.
