81 percent of children in Houston Independent School District are so poor that the federal government has to intervene and give them free and reduced lunch.
Los Angeles homeless issue is nothing compared to the third-world baby factory that the city of Houston is.
Easier to house 50,000 or so homeless people in LA. Than Houston with by far the largest per-capita rate of poor children of any top 10 city in America.
They pretty much have a third-world birth rate in Houston. Seems like it a perfect city for welfare though as Texas has excellent benefits for poor families as long as they have children. The rents and single-family homes are extremely cheap.
Lots of condos for $50,000 or less. Monthly hotels around $800/month. Lots of single-family homes for less than $100,000. This means that families who can't afford anywhere else are moving to Houston.
Houston has 30 percent higher birth rate than Mormons in Utah. Over Double the rate of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine
It's only natural that most poorer people are "stuck" in urban environments because it costs a LOT to live out in the burbs or in the country.
Obviously it depends on exactly where the city limits are (measurements, stats)....some cities are actually a collection of dozens of separate entities.
Also, weren't a large amount of residents from NO moved up that way...and stayed? It would make sense that they would have not built up much equity by this point. Also - Texas seems a state of great inequality.
"Texas ranks No. 5 for income inequality"
"The top 1 percent, whose income starts at $414,500, hauled in almost 21 percent of Texas’ total income in 2011. Its share was half that size in the ’70s"
Perhaps you should be posting about Hurricane Harvey recovery instead of acting with intent to give the city of Houston a bad reputation.
It would be much more effective and productive on your part.
Hurricane Harvey was over 6 months ago. People in other cities don't get federal bailouts when they go through a financially rough period. Houston could have had a world-class flood control system if it had higher tax revenues from having a wealthier demographic overall and was not trying to recruit welfare people from other states.
Houston was bragging in 2005 about how they were trying to get as many poor residents from New Orleans to relocate. They knew that those moving to Houston to New Orleans would generate federal welfare money for the city with all that WIC, EBT, Medicaid and other federal handout programs.
Houston also has lots and lots of unfunded pension liabilities. Rather than trying to appeal to hard-workers who will generate tax revenue for their city. They have been catering to welfare-class with third-world birthrates.

Practically is the third world. Clue- Hardly 50% speak English. Importing the worlds problems will haunt the rest of us eventually if not already.
Houston is unique: It is an extremely cheap city with massive amounts of run-down housing and landlords who are than willing to take section 8 vouchers. They have a massive amount of third-world immigration where having huge families in a cultural tradition. They have lots of welfare shoppers from all over America who come to Houston for the family welfare benefits.
Houston also has lots and lots of people who come from Mexico and have as many anchor babies as they can.
Houston was bragging in 2005 about how it wanted to open up the city to welfare people living in housing projects from New Orleans.
I was on a Greyhound bus once going from LA to Phoenix and it was full of homeless families with crying babies going to Texas because they can't afford California without section 8 and even with their vouchers in California with the lack of single-family home inventory they usually need to port their voucher to another city.
