Only in your wettest dreams.

I mentioned one thing then I put a full stop them noved on to a new idea, which is some of these cities are among the highest per capita income places in Texas and then I listed the top ten per capita income places in Texas to back it up. as you can see they are.

BTW the Memorial Villages are independent cities land locked in Houston. So is West University, but not every place on the list is a city

Piney Point Village city, Texas $133,558 -Houston Population 3380
Hunters Creek Village city, Texas $88,821-Houston Population 4374
Bunker Hill Village city, Texas $86,434-Houston Population 3654
Hilshire Village city, Texas $66,620- Houston Population 720
These 4 cities, along with the city of Spring Valley, make up the Memorial villages. They, along with the Houston neighborhoods that surround Memorial City Mall (2nd best in Houston to The Galleria), rival the Galleria Area/Tanglewood.

West University Place city, Texas $69,674- Houston Population 14211
I love this one! It's the Texas version of West Hollywood. (Also the place that spurred the state-wide mobile phone ban in active school zones.)

Country Hick Villages ...........nothing cities ...

alphajet you're more politically aware than I am, the Inner Loop of Houston is the most Liberal part of the city right?

In my patterns I have noticed with any Texas city, the more outward you go into the city and Metropolitan Area, the more of a Red Zone it starts becoming due to suburban developments. It was the point I was trying to make earlier when I said that Inner Loop Houston (or even the core of Dallas) are more Liberal than the city of Dallas (or the rest of Houston) because the more outward it goes with suburban development the more conservative they tend to become.

Can you verify that?
