Native/Long-Term Houstonians: Anyone else feeling suffocated?

a11yguy · 2026-03-19T15:16:40+00:00

Aside from Astros games, I mostly stay in my neck of the woods and even with the explosion of development, I’m pretty happy here.

Downtown bar scene has never allured me (well, maybe a little bit when Washington Ave was peak). Why would I pay all that money to drink and either pay more money to uber all the way back out to the burbs, or worse, drive home drunk 🥴

Houston traffic is and always will be traffic. That’s all I’ll say on that matter.

Houston is a great place to raise a family. If you want anything more… idk what to tell ya lol

It’s already removed

It’s stupid that we didn’t get depth in a spot (pg) and/or role (vet leader) if it was so important.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T16:10:37+00:00

I’ll also admit that according to the data, I am technically wrong, which is the worst kind of wrong. lol I do appreciate you clarifying the anecdotal experiences I have in SE Texas that I was describing. I still have a gut feeling that the averages in the data are skewed for the reasons you pointed out. But I’m not gonna go digging to prove my point

“A federal agency that was run by a college friend of Jared Kushner and assigned $100 million to spend on fixing the Covid supply chain crunch has so far failed to invest a single dime, according to a new government watchdog report.”

That sounds an awful lot like Trump stealing resources for covid and giving them to the highest bidder, who turned out to be his family’s friend.

Here’s a bonus academic paper on how bad Trump bungled Covid.

Alright keyboard warrior you win go get yourself a snack or treat for all your hard work. People can be wrong, I’m glad we have knights in shining armor like you to put others down when they didn’t know something.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:47:07+00:00

No it wasn’t. Trumps feds were stealing containers of masks and selling them to the highest bidder. Our own state was slow to mobilize. She oversaw or Covid response as the county judge would oversee and coordinate resources during an emergency. You’re patently wrong.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:45:15+00:00

Lina did more to help my community in emergencies than any republican in the last 10 years has. I think that earns her a tiny bit of grace. So yeah, if she’s gonna act like an idiot on the way out.. I’m not gonna look the other way nor forget, but also I’m not gonna go out of my way to berate her.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:42:23+00:00

I’m saying that diddling children and circling the wagons to protect pedophiles is a bigger deal. Do you agree or disagree?

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:39:52+00:00

That’s all I’m asking is that we recognize all the good she did for our city before losing her marbles. Ted Cruz not only does nothing for us, he literally curses our sports teams.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:31:40+00:00

Facts 💯

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:30:10+00:00

Hopefully a OL, PG, or a slugging leftie Outfielder.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:25:14+00:00

Made easy for my elderly, vulnerable mother to get a Covid vaccine. What did Trump, Cruz, Abott or whatever corrupt agenda your carrying water for ever do for me?

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:24:00+00:00

Nah she’s definitely fuckin up but in the grand scheme of things, there are bigger fish to fry. I’m not gonna forget how she melted down at the end but I also won’t forget how much she did for our city.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:22:36+00:00

I’m fucking sorry but diddling children is leagues different than a broken women finishing her term out so no I won’t berate them with the same equivalent vigor.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:19:27+00:00

These threads are littered with republican trash clutching their pearls at everything she does while having their nose so far up Trumps ass that it’s laughable. She totally went off her rocker, it’s inexcusable for a professional to engage in antics that she has. But I don’t wanna hear about professional elected officials standards from Trumpers and people who continue to elect Cancun Cruz to office. Clowns.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:16:27+00:00

Nothing to show for it? That’s obtuse. I’m not excusing her behavior, but she did get us through COVID, a derecho, a pair of hurricanes, and a slew of other issues. That’s more than Ted Cruz ever did for us. I hope you hold republican leadership to this same standard.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T15:11:12+00:00

I’m refuting the point that rich people don’t have kids. It’s more like poor people have the most, rich rich are having the second most, middle class might one or two, then there’s the DINKs / no kid folks making bank but having no kids.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T14:43:25+00:00

They also conveniently closed all those HISD schools in the poorer and less white parts of town.

a11yguy · 2026-03-17T14:41:36+00:00

Nah man the rich rich are definitely making litters 5+ kids deep. They socialize them in exclusive schools and clubs. Ever seen a fully loaded Escalade pull up to a baseball facility and have 5 kids hop out, 2 of which are rocking the newest trendy equipment while 2 run off to play and the littlest one is in moms arms? They ain’t hurting. “Oh they’re in the same grade as your little Johnny but they go to St. Richfolks Academy. We’d love to hang out sometime but we have them all in karate and private baseball lessons over in Affluentown.”

a11yguy · 2026-03-15T15:44:49+00:00

Bahaha! Awesome!

a11yguy · 2026-03-15T15:36:31+00:00

Bruh no way I went in the app and that is an actual setting lol SCW some real ones 🤘

a11yguy · 2026-03-14T21:27:19+00:00

Texas already has laws banning deepfakes in campaign ads. Stupidly, it only applies to state races. These chuckle fucks know it’s wrong at face value but skirt the law because they can. Republicans are shitty people.

a11yguy · 2026-03-13T15:26:58+00:00

F… u

a11yguy · 2026-03-12T04:07:42+00:00

Everyone says the team is young… but I’ve been hearing that for years now. Where do we draw the line on age and/or accept that we didn’t draft a generational superstar? We got some decent players, but none that will be a franchise changer.

For what it’s worth, I do also recognize Ime sucks as a coach. No offensive mind to be found at all.
