    Welp, wife heard that Kanye and Kim were at the school yesterday and are thinking of making this their primary residence. 

    So maybe I will see them at the Albertsons or something. 

     

    That's a terrible Albertsons.

    Monster Lake gets a bit of H2S rotten eggs smell from the Oregon Basin oil field from time to time.   Wonder how that's going to go over.  For reference, it was for sale when I was up in Cody, finally sold, and they tried to make it into a hotel--which is way out of town and was unsuccessful. Glad to see someone's got it and will put it to use though.

    That sucks and all, but how can you blame the mayor for flood that devastated your neighborhood? That wasn't Sylvester Turner's decision to release those flood gates.

    Taxes? You pay property taxes or states taxes. You are going to get taxed either way. Again, that is not Turner's decision.

    No doubt about it—my point has been that the Mayor and the County Judge have been poor at keeping post Harvey promises—this area of the City has been poo-poo’d because it’s “rich”.

    West Memorial is the burbs. Sullhorn just stated my case.

    Houston taxes, and lots of them. Also took a pretty good flood from the Corps of Engineers to keep downtown from flooding more.  I guess we are all idiots though.

    Im in oil, and I’ve lived in three cities since moving back to Houston.  City services have regressed greatly over the years.

    I don't personally hear many people complaining about Turner. Overall I think the city does a good job of taking care of their responsibilities and getting out of the way of the citizens. I know there are examples where that breaks down, and I admit that I have relatively little interaction with city employees.  

     

    I’m in West Memorial.  Between Turner and Lina both getting flood control  dollars passed and then putting it elsewhere, the torches and pitchforks are out in force.

     

    also the trash service woes have been pretty dumb.  Turner is a subpar mayor.

    They also collectively bargained their pension benefits, but that didn't stop the City from tying their pension benefits to that of the municipal workers and police officers via passing a bill in the last legislative session even though they were significantly better funded and nowhere near the desperation of the police officers and municipal workers.

    Exactly.  HFD gave up salary increases to juice their pensions.  Pensions then get crushed to pay for the other failing pensions and the Mayor gives a crappy raise and pretends everything is fine.

    Random question, office argument/conversation.  With tons of new technology, what percentage of dry holes are drilled today vs 2012ish? Co worker says it's around 25%.  Seems high. 

    Economic dry holes or resource dry holes?
