I fear Houston will become the next New Orleans or Detroit :(

[uracowman]

run down, dangerous and ghetto as ****.

Houston is currently the drug trafficking hub of the United States and the Zeta are running wild in this city. It's scary as fukk going anywhere on the southside, east side, downtown/ward area or north houston when it gets dark (srs).

Also, we are known specifically for codeine use down here. It got even worse after hurricane katrina and crime rates increased (no racist). You can literally drive around this city and see at least one drug bust or sale go down.

[Dropkicking]

Do you work for Exxon or something over there? When you go across the bridge where the fuddrucker's is, that's all government housing (srs)

[MMIS90]

detroit isnt that bad brah. You'll be okay

[Ivan7x]

i doesnt afraid of anything

[2FAST4YU]

Sorry to break it to ya, but its been like that, for some time. Hence why I stopped going. Should have stayed in Austin man.

No but I work about 2 miles from that Fuddruckers and I'm aware of the govt housing. Houston should be embarrassed by having Greenspoint mall near the airport.

They should just burn that place down.

Houston is just like any other city. Good areas and bad.


EDIT: yea gunspoint

[trueten]

Black people, creating misery and poverty around them everywhere they live.

That's black genetics for you kids.

[Universialbrah]

detroit isnt that bad brah. You'll be okay

This

Bums asking for a smoke is about is bad as it gets

srs

[g0time]

new orleans is back

WTF are you reading

[IanPhelps]

Live in the Medical District currently, U of H is in the 5th ward, ghetto as **** around there. Think i'm going to get killed/robbed walking to my car half the time.

[morsecode]

lol you must never have been to New Orleans

i was just there a couple months ago for a few weeks and was all over the city including the 9th and 7th wards and that city is fine and back to normal. New Orleans is actually one of the best cities in the country and one of the only remaining cites with its own culture

OP need to stfu he has no idea what he is talking about

Houston isnt even bad they have one of the best economies in the country

theres just as much drugs running through Southern Cal/Arizona maybe more than Houston....you arnt special

oh yeah go to city-data.com Houstons crime rate including murder rate is at its safest in over 12 years you know?

[Pliffy]

Houston has got no worse, if anything its gotten better due to more money moving in. Just dont go to the shady areas where you shouldnt be and youre fine

I have been to New Orleans

And noticing i said "it is becoming", not "it is".

Bro I think you meant Gunspoint?

I think iam move to a small country town.

I highly recommend Montgomery county. Lived in the area for 9 years, it was wonderful.


Now, to OP. Dude, it's not that bad at all. I love this city, it sounds like you're just in all the wrong areas. Brb Rice Village, brb City Center, brb River Oaks, brb Galleria/Uptown, brb Memorial, brb historic downtown, brb downtown tunnels, brb everywhere but where you mentioned. Practically every major city has its ghetto areas. Houston is incredibly widespread, so its ghetto areas (3rd and 5th ward) are just a bit big. There are tons of spots that are quiet, friendly, even lavish. I would say much more of Houston is nice than is dangerous/sketchy. Even the heights have improved a ton over the past 10 years.

I've lived in the Houston area and surrounding all my life (and in the city itself for 3 yrs), and I've never seen a drug bust, anywhere.

Spring/Tomball Bro here.

I do not leave the house without my CCW anymore. Work takes me to many of the sh!t sides of this metroplex. The nightly news is an eye opener.

Hopefully, oil money will keep us afloat.

its not becoming though....if anything its in the running to become one of the top major city hubs in the country....if it not already is.....Houston is the 4th largest city in the country and its crime rate isnt even close to the others in the top 5

this. isn't this common sense?

I was born and raised in Houston. TBH, there are not that many nice parts of town outside of midtown, river oaks, memorial, the galleria and rice village. I don't even like going to the montrose/heights area.

When I make enough money I'm moving to the woodlands/conroe.

[morsecode]

ITT some posters who never been near the ghetto and even when they get close the get nervous and lock their doors

Houston is a big city im pretty sure you live 10 miles from any hoods.

I drive through the bad parts in my city all the time. as long as you dont start crap, sell drugs or are in a gang you literally have nothing to worry about most of the time

[Milo3]

Hasn't Houston overtaken Dallas as Texas' number 1 city?

[MMIS90]

This

Bums asking for a smoke is about is bad as it gets

srs

i saw way more bums when i went to south beach last summer than here in Detroit.

[cncman]

Been headed that way for 20 year op...

[rcinthisbeach]

wait why do you think its becoming so bad again? the worst period of time i remember was 05 and06 when there was literally a murder every day and then some. i heard sirens all night every night and there was a driveby at a drug dealers house on my normally quiet middleclass street in 06. idk though there was a murder like 3 blocks from me a week ago and last night i saw 3 police helicopters at different points in time and i still live in a decent neighborhood, maybe things are getting worse

[morsecode]

Been headed that way for 20 year op...

this guy is probably some conservative rancher who lives 50 miles away who has never been near a rear city or minority person and thinks anyone outside of farmland who isnt white is bad
