  1. Tilman Fertitta determined to do ‘whatever it takes’ to improve Rockets
  2. Can you tell me where the money for flood control is going? You are also telling us Lina Hidalgo decided to divert money after months on the job? What about the trash service have you not liked? There were issues with the recycling trucks because most were out of service due to mechanical problems. That has been resolved.
  3. He's done OK, not great but not bad. Most of that bitching is from the suburbs and because he has a "D" next to his name. Same with the new County Judge.
  4. ^^^exactly. Most people who voted for Prob B did so without any research or blindly voted because firefighters are good people who risk their lives. Firefighters gathered more than 32000 signatures on petitions, so that's how it go on the ballot.
  5. This is what was on the ballot. https://ballotpedia.org/Houston,_Texas,_Proposition_B,_City_Firefighters_Charter_Amendment_(November_2018) Back in the early early 2000's HPD agreed to raises in exchange for pension and benefit cuts, while firefighters rejected the raises and continued to bulk up their pension. This lead to the 25 percent pay gap between the two entities. In 2017 Houston was going bankrupt paying the firefighter pensions, so Mayor Turner went to the Texas Legislature and they approved the city's pension reform plans. Firefighters voted down 4% pay increase in 2014. A 9.5 percent raise over three years 9.5 percent salary increase was proposed earlier in 2018. How the hell is a city supposed to find $100 million dollars without layoffs? Does HFD deserve more pay now that their pensions have been reduced? yes Should it cost Houston $100 million a year when it wasn't budgeted? no Are both the city and HFD union being assholes? yes
  6. I think spystud13 might be that OCD\borderline asperger Unix engineer who works next to me
  7. Cool. You just didn't point that out on post #100 What is considered a short trip? I walk when possible because I hate driving. I have a short 2 mile commute to work. I bike when the weather is nice. I will use a scooter when it's hot.
  8. Yes. This was your response earlier
  9. Would you rather walk over a mile when it's 98 degrees outside, Uber/Lyft, or just grab a scooter and pay $1.75? The scooter will get you your destination in 5 minutes.
  10. Morey has had a chance for 12 years . I'll give him some slack because he has to face the Warriors in the playoffs every year, but it's still his job to build a team and playoff system to beat them. His days should be numbered. He's had some great players in the past, but he seems intent on trading them away for assets. D'antoni is looking to be what he was in Phoenix - a hall of fame regular season coach. His teams are too soft in the playoffs.
  11. Well Fertitta has only owned the Rockets for a couple of season. I would say this is situation more on Daryl Morey.
  12. ^^^^ He's not wrong though
  13. It has been said the Odor is far better than Altuve. I think they should just cut Altuve.
  14. Here you go in the 5th ward. Buy a few of these lots and sit on it for 10 years and you might have something. https://www.har.com/mapsearch/?map_tools_nwlat=29.79496741883127&map_tools_nwlng=-95.33667314788818&map_tools_selat=29.77962240409536&map_tools_selng=-95.30989397308349&for_sale=1#m91297986
  15. They need to raise that wall a couple of feet. Too many cheap HRs.
  16. Sitting Brantley on a hot streak sounds dumb
  17. To be fair, I felt like shooting people at McIntyre’s at times
  18. There is no doubt Houston is a major hub for sex trafficking. That includes the girls you don't see on the streets working in massage parlors.
  19. Tierra Caliente is expanding. They opened a truck on Montrose and Bomar last year.
  20. Going through cars Marshall & Garrott. So my husband accidentally left his door unlocked last night and this morning a young guy went through it. He only got some change luckily. Around 5:53am another guy got into to take a nap. My husband came down a minute later to go to work and found him there when he opened his door. Well no shit! Leave your car door open and things tend to happen.
  21. The nice suburban area where I grew up is now the hood. Parents finally moved. Reverse flight or move even further away is what is happening now.
  22. I would try one of those steakhouses out, but I fear I might get shot or robbed in those scary neighborhoods.
  23. I hear Mo's Steakhouse in the Galleria used to be the place, but it's closed. Maybe Steak 48 now?
  24. I have a friend with big tits. She brushes by people on the plane with her tits just to get a reaction.
  25. Brantley never seems to hustle out there in LF
