This has been going on all over the country. |
We are a city of four million people. Did we take care of everyone? Probably not. Are there homeless people with mental difficulties we couldn't help? Yes. We've made an effort to help. In our disaster planning do we cure the problem of homelessness? No. |
We think the major shelters will be closed next week. |
We think the program is proving to be very successful, saving Houstonians a lot of money and cutting down on freeway collisions. |
We think we've been in the cross hairs of history ... been on the bad side of that with hurricanes and dealing with those things. Now some good is coming. |
We're essentially picking up a small city and inserting it into Houston. |
We're very pleased with All-Star Week. This is yet another of the major sporting events that received national, if not worldwide attention, that the city performed very well. We'll look to continue to host these events. |
We're working hard to make the housing department more efficient and provide more affordable housing. Those efforts aren't diminished. But we're complying with what the Housing and Urban Development department has said. |
We've worked long and hard for several months to try to bring MLS soccer here. Houston is a great sports town and the fan base for soccer is a great one. |
What they're doing with it, I don't know. |
When there's a criminal investigation going on, we can't go in like a bull in a china shop, asking questions. |
