| | Shout out from H-townJust saying hi to everyone from Houston, it is great fun. On a side note--holy shit. Everyone here is rich. I haven't seen so many Lexuses, BMWs, Benzes, and assorted ridiculous sports cars (Maseratis, Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborginis, etc.) in my life.
What's really odd (and sad), is that I went and looked at some apartments across the street from Minutemaid Park (where the Astros play) yesterday. They turned out to be a lot more expensive than they had advertised, and not 20 yards away were at least 20-30 homeless people just hanging out. The contrast was ridiculous. It was all I could do to keep myself from going down there and giving them every dime in my pocket, I felt so bad for them. It takes a few dimes to pay for gas from Houston to Springpatch, however, so I could not.
Seriously, what rich people want to pay thousands of dollars a month in rent, and look out their window and see tons of homeless people? Would that not bring down their property values enough to spur them into action?
All that being said, I dig Houston. We went to a Rockets game the other night, which was all sorts of fun, and we have seen some cool things while Caleb chauffers us around the enormous city. There are so many cool places to live it's maddening, and the cost of living really isn't much, even compared to Springpatch.
It also doesn't hurt that it has been 75 degrees and sunny all week.  |
