Disinvitation
As Gustav appears as it is going to lay another huge smack-down on New Orleans, I have this to say to those who are fleeing their city: Do not come to Houston. Seriously. Go somewhere else. We are still cleaning up the mess left after Katrina.
After Katrina, Houston offered itself up as a refuge for Katrina evacuees. We offered homes, money, and other relief supplies. We were repaid by skyrocketing crime, skyrocketing unemployement, and an entirely new class of people who sought to have everything handed to them by claiming “but…but…I’m from New Orleans!”
The concept is as simple as it is sound: if someone invites you into their homes, and you proceed to defecate on the carpet, don’t expect the invitation to be extended again.
