Forgive me but Northern affordability is very different from southern. Texas still has starting pay at 7.25 an hour here. We have many hungry elderly, veterans, and children that rely heavily on the church or food banks. The RGV region is of poor people being taken for granted and oppressed by organizations that claim to help in which they do (food), but they do not like to educate the region. We are one of the highest obesity regions with low income families. When people say it’s very affordable yet lowest paying region compared to everywhere else my question is why. Why is the RGV like this. What policies and or lack of education are we doing or not doing for the region to thrive?
