The article/analysis seems a bit alarmist to me too. It suggests Houston is way behind in paving roads and has unsustainable long term liabilities. Ok, maybe. But last month called 311 and asked them to pave a pothole on a busy city street I hit. I noticed it was done within two weeks. Hmm. What are the full assumptions under their analysis? Who knows. Kinda like cash accounting vs accrual which they highlight, both can be misleading if the assumptions aren’t clearly spelled out.
