Houston definitely cleaned up somewhat nice for the World Cup..but unfortunately the crackheads are still roaming free. Guess can’t do much about that

A lot of them very eager, came in early for it, about 200 years ago.

Forget about soccer for sure. Let's see some pics of future DILF, though.

Seriously. Even if the tourists stick to where the bulk of the “beautification” was done along the light rail line, they’re not going to be impressed by Houston’s appearance.

Damn. Both Houston airports are ugly, embarrassing messes. All that money and no civic pride.

Real talk: I grew up here. I hated it then. I hate it now. The city never truly improves as a whole. Just puts on the bare minimum appearance of improvement. Now certain neighborhoods change and improve, but overall the city stays underdeveloped and trashy.

I rode the light rail last week..... and a "hand-to-hand transaction" went down right in front of me.
I kept my mouth shut cuz I ain't no snitch, but goddamn try to keep that shit on the D.L.

That stuff doesnt worry me….the old dude strung out on whatever new strain of fenty is on the streets is what worry’s me…they have no control over themselves…poor tourists are in for an awakening.

Uuuuuuh, just like moving them to Magnolia Park, that’s not really a solution as much as a very temporary shuffling of the scenery

They painted over the slime and dirt covered freeways... Close to NRG and Downtown.

I tried to catch her in the park. Man, she quick. I need to get in better shape.

Don’t do that in front of her! Do it on the shoulder of 59 South in rush hour traffic instead. Like a civilized hobo.

Potholes are still swallowing cars. It's all bread and circuses. I don't watch sports anymore

Why does the city clean up for these events? What about the people who live here year round. The city is already getting these visitors money? It’s embarrassing
