Houston is one of the wealthiest cities in America.
Home to the world’s largest medical center.
One of the busiest ports in the country.
The energy capital of the world.
So why are Houstonians constantly being told to lower their expectations, when we should expect excellence from City Hall, not excuses?

My aunt paid off her house in 2011.
Threw a party. Cried happy tears. Said she finally owned something in this world.
Property taxes were $3,200 a year back then.
Today they’re $9,800.
HOA went from $180 a month to $440.
Homeowners insurance doubled after the storms in her area.
She’s 71 on a fixed income writing three checks every month on a house she already paid for.
She told me last week she’s thinking about selling.
The house she spent 30 years paying off.
The house she cried over.
Because she can’t afford to stay in something she owns.
You never really own it.
You just run out of people to pay and find new ones.
These bastards tried to steal Dr. Ezra Totton's money. University of Iowa, where Black students are 3%, sued to distribute Dr. Totton's gift differently than his will had specified arguing a recent affirmative action decision let's them unilaterally repurpose private donations.
