All this is the Texas equivalent of the meme showing all those great British novels like V for vendetta with their intended meaning but the actual “living in the UK fucking sucks” meaning whooshing over the readers head.
The take away from this comment is and should be “living in Texas/Houston fucking sucks”.
It should not be normal to live somewhere where 80% of houses have serious problems with their foundation. That state is cursed and should be glassed from orbit.
