Hello https://t.co/BwsLP8hJo9 users: the State of Housing in Harris County and Houston i.e. the thing I've worked on for the past 6 months is out and public today. This year's report focuses exclusively on renting.

Here's the NPR story

@mr1llinois wow I've driven by this place so many times, my family called it "the Edward Hopper house" bc it looked like something from his paintings

@taygoldenstein I have been in situations (pre PhD) when I offended some faculty when I called them by their first name.

[Stephen Sherman @stephenasherman]

@taygoldenstein At Rice it's the unspoken rule that professors are called "Professor" or "Doctor" by undergrads, which was not the case at the large state schools I came from. I think it's good to err towards the formal, generally, when I reach out to other academics.

[Stephen Sherman @stephenasherman]

@NoahMF I would assume Houston metro is more of an attractor. It's the classic midwest case where states like Iowa and Illinois invest a lot in education only to have their public school grads move out of state.

[Stephen Sherman @stephenasherman]

@NoahMF I have worked at Rice for 6 years and I have met only 1 TT professor who grew up in the entire Houston metro. I know more from the area of North Jersey where I grew up.

@willystaley I regularly do press about Houston housing issues but once, randomly, got a press/interview request for a community radio station in Crescent City. The guy was a great interviewer and incredibly well prepared!
