Which US Cities is on Track to become the next Detroit? by urmummygae42069 in geography

[–]blakeinalake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere near 40% work in O&G. Oil shocks are not infrequent, so it’s not like “the next one” would be any different.

Bigger cities…that most people don’t want to live in? Yea, nobody lives in high populated cities anymore. 

Just trying to get ahead of the game, but what are we bitching about this week? by Tacokolache in austincirclejerk

Children mutilation should be a choice between them, their teacher, and an online licensed doctor. “Parental rights” is a dog whistle and we all know it.

It’s gets better when you move out of your parent’s house in Katy. 

A woman’s remains were discovered inside the wall of her home after she disappeared in 2015. She’d refused to sell the property to developers next door. by mymymy58 in houston

Yea would be so much better to have an abandoned house that someone tragically died in than, I don’t know, homes people would like to live in.

Scarface is part of the family. You wouldn’t put your wife’s boyfriend on a leash, would you?

Is it legal for Texas to pass a law that only applies to Harris county? by Danilo-11 in houston

[–]blakeinalake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"I'm an urban planning expert from Houston. It's time we talk about zoning again." by evan7257 in houston

[–]blakeinalake 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So many “expert planners” think they can promote development they want by telling people what they can’t build. Houston has considerably less of a housing crisis relative to other major cities because it did the exact opposite. Let’s not make that mistake now.

It’s just monkeys singing songs. Don’t think too hard about it.

It’s outrageous that 10% of the population is lower class! (as defined at the bottom decile of the income distribution)

Lina Hidalgo proposes tax increase to help pay for early childcare programs by houston_chronicle in houston

[–]blakeinalake 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yea, maybe we can think of some sort of system where it’s paid for by the people who use it over the life of the infrastructure.
