@BillKingHouston @UrbanCourtyard City of Houston or Harris or Houston metro?

I hate to rain on everyone’s parade but the City of Houston’s population has not increased in a decade. The net domestic migration out of Harris County over the last decade was 300,000. The only thing keeping Houston and Harris County from losing population has been international immigration.

I think people freak out about Houston because no one wants American abundance to look *like that.* Everyone is hoping that 21st-century abundance can do better than Houston-style sprawl I am so fascinated by the late 19th century and early 20th century in Europe because they were dealing with a lot of the same urban housing pressures that we are, and they dealt with them by applying a very smart building code. This code allowed builders to go up five or six stories, build to the property lines, but they had to build with masonry and they had to leave the rear part of the lot open for a courtyard. This code helped these cities to grow by hundreds of thousands over a short time span. And the buildings were beautiful and livable, and are still standing today and are accounted some of the most valuable neighborhoods on the planet

Chronicle reporting = exceptionally low turnout Chronicle opinion = progressive wave, look out Whitmire

Illegal dumping won’t be tolerated in Houston. Joseph Anthony Vega, 30, is wanted by HPD’s Environmental Investigations Squad after being caught dumping trash bags and furniture on Swingle St. Help keep Houston clean, Call 713-525-2728 with TIPS.

@evan7257 1) one fair editorial in a sea of drivel (see “whit-liar”) does not negate the obvious bias 2) the mayor has sat down multiple times with chronicle reporters and ed board. If you’re asking for yet another opportunity to take pot shots and bloviate, submit a request via email.

@stevedavid 1. The editor of the editorial board wrote an entire op-ed explaining why Mayor Whitmire would make for a good statewide candidate 2. Talarico sat down for an interview with the editorial board. Will the mayor sit down for an interview with the editorial board?

Whitmire governs toward the middle and builds bipartisan trust. Talarico does the same — but the Chron Ed Board treats them like opposites. Would be laughable if it weren’t so ridiculous.

@ErikVidor That sweet sweet 9am opening time while us plebians have to wait until 10am.

Another year, another Executive Club Costco membership renewal. Worth it.

This report isn't about Houstonians. Below is the definition of the area for the study. "The Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area comprises Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, and Waller Counties in Texas."

Saying that 9 members of City Council lack integrity is a choice…

Could you imagine how effective we would all be if we did the job we applied for, instead of the job we really, really, pretty please want?

@StevenTDennis Sorry to hear this, Steven. Please see Christmas Card 2024 cat photo.

My mother is ill; could really use some puppy, kitten and garden pics if you have them (she was an amazing gardener before Alzheimer’s took away her memory). Thanks in advance!

Hey @ChronOpinion, you misspelled Council Member Alcorn's name - it is 'Sallie' not 'Sally'. Surely y'all do copy editing, right?

Fortis Academy's Jerry Garza recently took the stage to read his poem “What Love Means to a Chicano.” His words on love, emotion and the fight against addiction start a partnership with @NuestraPalabraX, where students share their written stories of recovery. #SeetheImpact

We Got Gucci! Someone earned $50,000 after a public tip led FBI Houston agents and our @houstonpolice partners to arrest Christian X. Rucker (aka Gucci) yesterday. Keeping count? That's 3 Houston Most Wanted fugitives caught in 3 weeks. Operation Summer Heat continues...

@Coley_Baby @houmayor @HoustonTrash @HoustonTX No but I work for the city.

@stevedavid @houmayor @HoustonTrash @HoustonTX You work for solid waste?

🚛♻️ The first 9 of 31 new trucks are rolling out in Houston! This is just the start of a major fleet upgrade to improve service citywide. Which neighborhood should see them next? 👇

@charlesblain What is the rate normally?

For all inquiring, yes I am available to moderate an AG debate in Houston, or any other debate for that matter, I’ll even waive my going rate of free

@Coley_Baby @houmayor @HoustonTrash @HoustonTX What's your service request number? Will get Solid Waste to track down and deliver.

@houmayor @HoustonTrash @HoustonTX How do I get a trash can? I’ve been waiting 2 months
