I 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.
