I was in the Houston area over the weekend (Woodland, Spring, Houston, Galveston) I think I saw 3 homeless people and zero homeless encampments. OTOH, Metro Denver is following more in Portland and California's footsteps with homeless encampments everywhere. I'll pass 2 on the way to work with 1-2 dozen homeless. Makes me wonder if we'll see a flip flop in local politics. Will liberal states/cities like Oregan/Portland decide enough it enough and elect conservatives to correct course? Will conservative states decide arming teachers and near total bans on abortion are going overboard and elect more reasonable representatives?
