What can the City of Houston do to not make Houston become another Detroit?
I saw ‘The Third Ward’ at SCSI in 2007 and to me the film showed positive change to the area and that the people wanted desperately to take pride in their homes, just needed some financial assistance. Last month, I met someone living in the area and (female, caucasian, 32) she enjoyed it and recognized the positive direction the neighborhood- that is not to say that it does not have problems and as always, you should be aware of your surroundings, etc. though it is not the only problematic area in Houston. Not far from there- have you been to the campus of Texas Southern- that school is barely still functioning… Also, a good friend of mine is from Detroit and will talk it up and defend it until his last breath- it just depends what area you are in- There are good and bad areas in every city.
