Houston [emoji782][emoji780]

What is going on with Houston?

There has always been crime... always will be... but...

is it just me, or does it seem like Houston has turned into a Chicago, a Detroit, a Philadelphia, or a Baltimore, etc.

What’s the deal? Even areas that historically have been considered pretty normal “safe” areas {SW/Alief, north &NW 1960} have recent shootings going on. Why has Houston (suddenly?) gone crazy?

Texas has lots of other ‘big’ cities, and yes they all have their crime issues, but things (shootings) in Houston seem to be all out of proportion to what other Texas cities are experiencing.

Don't think people are flying SWA anywhere much now....

SW Houston, especially Alief, hasn't been safe for a long time. Same with 1960 area.

That said, it seems violent crime has been the worst here it has been in several years. I don't know what the numbers are exactly, and I'm not sure you can really trust them anyway. The hardcore criminals are going through a revolving door here and continuing to reoffend.

I rarely have to go into Harris County anymore and I'm thankful for it. That said, even Fort Bend is getting worse. I'm sure that it's no coincidence this county has also gone blue.

I have many years left here but I'm ready to jet for somewhere a lot quieter.

Spot on. We have low rent apartments surrounding two sides of my subdivision and they catered to Katrina victims. Once the crises ended, the classy folks went back to LA and the trashy ones stayed. Heck I see dirt bikes running down westheimer. These aren’t plated dual sports. I’m talking unplated 2-stroke YZ and KX. It’s not an every day occurrence but it does happen from time to time. Heck, I even saw a guy on the sidewalk taking a piss in the middle of the day. I tell you, its gotten bad. I don’t normally open carry, but when I’m on the bike, I make that sucker as visible as I can. Lots and lots of paper tags on junkers, so that tells me no insurance. People openly smoke dope in their cars. I know because when I’m on the bike I can smell it.

I'm just glad I don't have any deliveries in Houston and only have to drive thru early each Thursday morning.

I'll keep going to Santa Fe, League City, Alvin, Dayton, Hardin, Winnie, Anahuac, Beaumont, Magnolia, Needville, Damon, Angleton. I prefer driving on the outskirts of Houston.

Yup - Houston used to be part of my territory. The last 6 months I was there - and this is over 5 years ago - I made sure I was VERY well armed anywhere I went. Things were headed downhill even then - don't even want to think about what it's like now!

Nailed it.

It is a typical demoroid run city and county.

 

[andre3k]

Simple answer. Liberal Judges, a liberal DA and an environment that that has effectively killed any form of proactive policing.

Criminals have transitioned over to violent crime (namely robbery) instead of narcotics sales. Why stand on a corner all day when you can just take what someone else has worked for.

Houston got the city it wanted and voted for.

‘Magic’ campaign lands 17 black women on Houston courts

The Houston area’s courts are going to be a lot more diverse thanks to a group of 17 African-American women and their “magic.”

Their magic is more like voodoo.
And, that's what comes from straight line voting.

I’m so glad we GTFO of Houston! Funny how Houston turned into the crap I left behind In Illinois. Funny how democratic leadership turns cities into ghettos! The Turd World taste of Houston gets stronger every day! Wait for the influx of Haitians & other border jumping democraps to arrive!
