Right now it represents rats and mold from what I hear.

Lol, I love the reactions the conservatives are displaying here. You guys do realize that for all the growth that Texas is having that you are boasting about, makes the reality of Texas going back to blue all that more possible? Be careful what you wish for. What do you think happened to Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida? The same exact thing. They were deep red states post LBJ, then they had economic and residential booms that flipped them to purple and slightly blue and they are getting bluer every election cycle

Yes. Just take a look at Detroit. A true left-wing utopia.

To YOU it does. When I look at it, I see a part of Houston history that was striving to be the city of the future. After Houston tried indoor baseball, Seattle and Montreal did it next.

I have a question. Do you hate the Astrodome that much?

Houston is the most awful place I've ever spent any time.

Let us know when Houston gets ten times bigger, son.

List of metropolitan areas by population - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While you are so amused,....maybe you should take the time to read about Houston in your own link.

SON,......

Hahahahahaha.

No, Houston won't pass LA or NY. I'd be surprised if it passes Chicago by 2020.
