Again, where was San Francisco during Hurricane Katrina?

Did they offer to fly any families up there to live permanently?

Probably not because they would've immediately shipped them straight across the bay into Oakland to live on the streets with the rest of the "undesirables". San Francisco doesn't like Black people unless they are gay or living in Oakland.

... Fantastic foods, culture, attractions, so on. Houston improves on that year after year.
I'd agree.

Though I can think of several other cities this would describe as well.

And then there are other cities, which are past their prime/peak.

Of course, I can list those cities to you. Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, my city Washington DC, Denver, Phoenix, Detroit, Minneapolis, and Miami (major work on this one, it has tourism down, now to work on livability A LOT).

Hell even Chicago, when the Westside stops looking like Kabul, Afghanistan or a Chernobyl-lite, then it can say it's a finished product.

Cities like San Francisco and New York, I'd say are in their best shape ever, at their prime and will continue to be for eons more. I think most of the rest have some serious work to start getting to though.

How bizarre? And search and rescue personnel, aid and supplies, money etc, was sent from the Bay Area just like everywhere else, what a stupid and warped thing to ask.

Oh so people from New Orleans that came to Houston were given mansions in River Oaks?hahahaha

Please dont act like your special cause we house up to 1 million illegals like a #boss and dont go complain to rightwing radio about it.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE STATE OF TEXAS WANTS TO RENAME "SLAVE TRADE" AS "ATLANTIC TRIANGULAR TRADE" BECAUSE IT MINIMIZES THE EVIL THAT IS SLAVERY.

So what SF did about Katrina is really the last of your worries.

You're way out of your depth now. Do you have any idea how asinine this argument is and how convoluted the construct of your "logic" is? Katrina happened more than 2000 miles away from San Francisco. Of course Houston was better positioned to offer aid. It has nothing to do with "black people".

Did Houston fly black people in from the Bay Area after the '89 quake?

What a strange and desperate attempt at misdirection this is on your part. It's the argument of a child.

Im happy for you but there are no plans, official or otherwise, to move the corporate headquarters.

You should know better than to try to pass off gossip as fact in city-vs-city.

African people enslaved themselves. Texas neither started nor ended slavery. Its also the last of our worries at this point as it should be with everyone else in the nation who wasn't alive 150 years ago. No need for apologies or reparation (unless your name starts with a b & ends with an a) because that generation died off 50 years ago.

Heh. Earlier, I wanted to note that one of Zedd's posts was a great illustration of just how far behind the Texas mentality really was. I'm glad I didn't, because this one is even better.

Yeeeaahh...Texas is far behind mentally because we don't support reparation of slavery or amnesty for illegal immigrants.
