    Our property tax bills have skyrocketed in the past few years, they need to invest that money in our infrastructure!
  • @AnyM4jorDude
    $25,000,000 I guarantee you the artists are not getting that fee.
  • @BarrierIsland
    So, you're talking about 16 years since the last catastrophic storm hit. It looks like the trees and vegetation around wires, poles and transformers have continued to grow with no trimming or maintenance. How sad that is, and illegal for CenterPoint...
  • @houstongigs
    Got power after 7 days.... worse than the winter storm. So I really don't know what they have "improved" since the last several times the grid has failed 😅

    DFW resident here. I think that by now many of you Houstonians have reached the breaking point and are preparing to move to Dallas or San Antonio. I certainly don't blame you for doing so. Years ago, I wanted to move to Houston and now I'm so glad I never did. Prayers go out to y'all in Houston. Stay strong; you'll get through this.

    My father, a veteran, passed away, and the nursing home informed me when it was already dark and without power in May 2024. We couldn’t have a proper funeral and had to go straight to the National Cemetery. We were without lights for seven days, and now my business is closed because of the power outage from Beryl and the home. I can't live in my home because of the damage from Hurricane Harvey, The house is about to collapse, and the court keeps changing the date, leaving us in limbo for over two years.
  • I’ve been here in Houston less than 2 years and my power goes out constantly. For 4 days after the tornadoes from Alberto and 3 days after Beryl. Suffocating heat. I’m done here.
  • Lost all my food due hurricane beryl and power went out! I applied for food assistance with FEMA denied, Homeowners Insurance denied, HHS was told to call 211, which is SNAP, which I don't qualify denied...smh.
  • @lisaroyle1966
    HLP back in the day maintained the tress and vegetation along the power lines, why can't Centerpoint do the same?
  • @tag7592
    Too much BS and politicking!
  • Where are all the taxable money? Government needs to be investigated.
  • @SageMoon8495
    Please VOTE! The Governor's office has a lot to do with this. Privatized companies and contacted businesses that have not done the jobs they've been paid to do. Keeping trees groomed. Not to mention the Texas power grid. This will only get worse.
  • Bring back HL&P and Entex and get rid of Centerpointless. At least it was local.
  • Welfare of the people, it’s stated within the U.S. Constitution.
  • Wow...the three councilwomen they showed weren't really paying attention. They don't care!
  • @regmatt
    people don’t move to houston due to bigger homes , if there is no electricity u have to spend money , if the winter comes another disaster..
