Was I supposed to type something here?
Before we left Houston for good, Mrs. Brewingfrog and I attended an Astros game downtown. Since I have no business there normally, I don't stop in Downtown very much save to take in a game or visit a specific restaurant. Thus, looking at the change from year to year was somewhat shocking: Simply categorizing the denizens of the 59 Overpass shadow as "homeless" is silly. They have a home: You're standing in it. The bathroom, specifically. Streams of piss were meandering down to the street from the "homeless" encampment. Ripe crap was piled by the sidewalk as well. I was shocked at the degree to which the City of Houston had allowed matters to crumble to this level of filth and squalor. But, the Mayor, County Judge, D.A., and all other City and County Officials had solemnly decreed that helping the "homeless" was a prime concern, so, we got to trudge through a miasma of human waste to go see a baseball game.I have lived in Austin for 14 years and it sounds like your friends are a little [ muschi ]
Definitely need to address the homeless situation but it’s far from a crises.
Progress!
Leaving that City in my rearview was a wonderful feeling. Adios!
