"In Houston, the exact opposite of San Francisco, I assume you'd get shot"
switch that to 'small town texas' and I would agree. Houston proper tends to vote to the left, not to mention we have our own budget problems now.
- jdrock 17y agoHouston "proper" is a fraction of the City of Houston. (I assume you mean inside the loop.)
- ct4ul4u 17y agoI would assume he meant the legal boundaries of the City of Houston, which is what the term "proper" usually means in that case.
- jdrock 17y agoActually, most people in Houston tend to refer to the area inside the 610 loop in a way like the oc did. People outside 610 do not vote to the left.
- Femur 17y agoI disagree with your hyperbole. I live in Montrose (very 'in the loop') and generally vote Republican. Much of my family lives in Spring (a suburb outside the loop) and vote Democrat/Green. Houston is generally a more conservative city than SF. Overall, I feel that Houston is generally well run.
- stcredzero 17y agoI also live in Montrose. A lot of Houston is well run. Public Transportation is a laggard, however. I spend half of my time in Minneapolis, and despite their using the same physical equipment, their public transit system is 5X better than Houston's. I think the reason, is that in Minneapolis, it's considered a vital part of the city infrastructure. In Houston, it's a concession to the poor people.
- dnsworks 17y agoHere in San Francisco, "Proper" means "I'm from the suburbs and I'm gearing up to bitch about San Francisco's parking and one-way streets"
- look_lookatme 17y agoUseless hyperbole from both you and the the Joel Kotkin. Just because people are conservative doesn't mean they believe violence is the answer to all problems.
- ad 17y agoYou're right; let my comment be stricken from the record...
