Several Houston city council members are questioning why the city invested in improvements on land it did not own and why the lease requires the city to pay to remove the equipment and repair the property afterward.

About $2800 to $4,000 a semester per student, so while unusual doesn't seem indicative of malicious intents. Some colleges cost between $28,000 and $100,000.

Gods will

Had this when i visited Austin 3 years ago. It was probably the best bbq we had on that trip, which was shocking since it was just a local recommend when we got there and the others we found online were alightly below it. I dont remember all of them but we had Franklins, and Valantines. I dont remember the other 2.

What a useless headline. Not your fault, OP.

Most of Apple's manufacturing has been located in China to this point, so decentralizing it's manufacturing like this is more significant than a lot of people realize.

Only high end properties and no middle or low income housing, I'm guessing?

I feel like having to live in houston puts you in road rage as a baseline emotional state

"I think what we have a lack of is small venues," Freeman told Chron. "We just don't have any, and a lot of the time when you want to deal with the few small venues that we have, like the Bronze Peacock Room at the House of Blues, you've got to go through Live Nation [booking] to do that."

Build them homes, give them stability, safety and a path back to self-sufficiency. Accept that some have problems that's aren't economic and provide that assistance. The solution are obvious they are just expensive and nobody wants to pay.

Data center needed the extra juice because someone needed bigger boobs on their waifu.

Houston's bridge network still has familiar pressure points.
Bridges such as the I-45 span over White Oak Bayou and the Houston Avenue Bridge on I-10 have all faced recurring stress from heavy traffic, aging structures, or repeated vehicle strikes in recent years.
The Houston Avenue Bridge alone has been hit dozens of times by over-height trucks, forcing repeated inspections and repairs, according to transportation officials.

The Houston Avenue bridge is pretty important right now with all of the construction going on around it. Thinking of all of the gridlocked traffic putting stress on the structure is anxiety inducing.

“On The Border”

Nice of them to explain how this violates the laws. Bad journalism.

This is just hoarding, no? He initially wanted to fix six of them up as a retirement project and instead he let dozens of them rust out, leaking motor oil and who knows what else into the environment.

Reading it, it seems she knew about the collection, she didn't know just how...impressive? Wanted? The collection was?

If your husband can collect 70 cars without you noticing, you're in a really shitty marriage.

Everything is dumber in Texas.

This is like a double endorsement for the voters?!

Because ACAB.

Why the fuck are they making that an issue?

Fuck them.

I just looked at it. You're absolutely right. The only thing I would add is the word "seemingly" before reasonable.

Reasonable action that will be used to bully and discriminate. That's my guess anyway.

The victim even walked the envelope into the US Postal service office. That certainly reduces the number of people who would be handling it before it was stolen.
