The stadium is of course not in Dallas.

-Houston is a big rich conservative city. I would argue Houston would hands down win the award of "Most Conservative Big City in America". It's an upper class conservatism but it's definitely ultra conservative.

-As someone who was born in Houston Texas I can safely say Houston is not livable if you even remotely dislike humidity. You must love the big money conservative vibe of Houston because if you don't the humidity will get you out of there fast.
What a bunch of ignorant tripe. Humidity disqualifying a city's "Texan-ness"? You do realize that the entire Eastern half of the state, and most of the Southern half is humid, right? Houston is on the coast, so it gets a bit more humid than other Texas cities, but the difference is so minimal that it doesn't mean much. According to your bizarre logic, the entire Texas coast, from South Padre to Sabine Pass... and all of East Texas is "disqualified" as being Texan. Conversely, El Paso would be the "most Texan" part of Texas, as it is the least humid. In what plane of reality does that make any sense?

Houston is no more conservative than Dallas is, less conservative than San Antonio is, and in it's core just as liberal as Austin is. If you're talking about the suburbs, then it's no more conservative than any other large Texas metro. Both Houston and Dallas, for the most part, have extremely conservative suburbs. Houston is hardly the most conservative big city in America. That honor goes to Phoenix.

Besides, why would "the most conservative big city in America" elect, then twice re-elect an openly gay, female Democrat as their mayor?

And you talk as if everyone in Houston is some uber-rich Republican. That pretty much leaves out about 70% of the city's population, and about 95% in the "uber-rich" category.

This driver crashed a Bugatti in the Marshes just on the Mainland side in Galveston County. It turns out he did it for the insurance and was later convicted of insurance fraud. Damn bad luck that somebody just happened to be tapping his ride just when he did it.
