I’m a bit surprised, given the stranglehold Democrats have had on San Antonio and Bexar County government for over 20 years, that we’re not having the same problems.
I’m surprised, too, given some of the things I’ve been told by neighbors who have relatives living in that city. A couple of years ago, one of them told me a sibling said there had been a proposal to throw many millions away on a project downtown-a SanFran-type trolley for tourists to ride-but the trolley supposedly only went a few blocks, so somehow cooler heads prevailed in the council and the trolley did not happen-at least not then. I honestly could not believe such a ridiculous use of taxpayer money by a city-do you know if it is true?
Nothing about Houston surprises me-I had some cousins who had really good jobs and lived there, but they are all making less money and living around here and in W Texas now-where people are at least semi-sane. I always hated to go to visit them in Houston, even when it was for something like all of us going to a Stones concert-haven’t been there in 17 years, and I never intend to go back...
