You are so correct. Most of us can chose where we live. That part of freedom is one of my favorite parts.Hoosier Daddy wrote:Freedom. Some people like it. Some don't.

Re: Is Houston getting more violent
IMFMO
I worked in Houston for 16+ years. Eight of those years I lived there.
I lived and worked in Dallas for 20+ years. I compare the two.
I had many many personal incidents in Houston. License plate thefts, two. Registration sticker theft (scraped off the windshield), one. Car vandalism, three. Car "breaking and entering, two. Personal threat situations, two. Witness to a reported crime, two. Other incidents I avoided, many. I carried in Houston before GWB signed the law....to protect my life.
My apartment was in the Galleria area and was gated with a 24 hour attendent. I had stolen mail, vandalism, breakin in this apartment and nobody knew nuttin'. In Dallas metro area, I've lived in Farmersbranch, Garland, Denton, Plano, and Dallas and have never (knock on my PM9) been threatened, been witness to a crime or vandalized here.
You don't want to hear it but.....The Dallas metroplex is segregated financially and through zoning. Everyone..that's everyone, knows the "bad part of town". In Houston, the whole city is glomed together with good neighborhoods and bad ones only a block apart and the ease of the gangs and crooks to cross from one place to the other is irresistible; and they do.
