I stopped following that mess a long time ago. Doesn't surprise me though. Is there a neighborhood somewhere in the greater Houston area that I can escape to where this kind of crazy is a little less?
Nope.
Ever neighborhood in the burbs is people freaking out over solicitors like they're the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Passive aggressively griping about the way people are driving. Complaining about the grocery stores. Or maybe little Aydyn or Lakelyn saw some kid make a finger gun motion at them and clearly that child is s future mass murderer. Or ZOMG, somebody in a neighborhood on the other side of Houston got mugged so BOLO because crime is everywhere.
Meh, there's a few holdouts.
We aren't nearly as bad as you are up in south Lufkin. About the only thing we do is apparently call the cops when black teenage kids are riding skateboards down the street.
We did have a straight up murder several months back, but surprisingly it never garnered the "end of the world" posts that i expected. Frankly the pipeline work was more worriesome to most - because contractors are 100% responsible for all burglaries.
