Houston Housing Hilarity: Dilapidated shacks priced at $300K https://houstonnewmedia.org/houston-housing-hilarity-dilapidated-shacks-priced-at-300k/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=houston-housing-hilarity-dilapidated-shacks-priced-at-300k Sun, 24 Apr 2022 21:42:56 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=2c098c591f1ec905ca6840f32093d814

I like to look on websites like Zillow and Redfin to look at the supply of affordable homes in the loop, and it gets pretty amusing often. Some of you fuckers are trying to sell your dilapidated shack of a house in the Third Ward with no central A/C for like $300K-$400K.

What's your take on this hilariously stupid housing market?

Quality hemp, CBD retailers inside 610 https://houstonnewmedia.org/quality-hemp-cbd-retailers-inside-610/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=quality-hemp-cbd-retailers-inside-610 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 15:43:11 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=ccb559ebb6c31ce5785a0d64c0fc5c0e

Where can I find quality retailers of hemp and CBD products inside 610 in Houston? I've found a lot of non-quality strip mall operations around here, but I'm looking for retailers with ties to legit growers or manufacturers.

I'm specifically looking for hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Here's an example from a quality store in San Antonio I really like:

WTF are we doing on I-45 north of downtown, people? https://houstonnewmedia.org/wtf-are-we-doing-on-i-45-north-of-downtown-people/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wtf-are-we-doing-on-i-45-north-of-downtown-people Wed, 16 Feb 2022 19:03:02 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=3a6f3d286a437e2b3ac2a9c2ded92b94

Seriously - what the f**k are we doing on I-45 north of downtown? People line up for miles tailgating each other in the left lane, refusing to move over. Then, you can't move over when you need to because of the sheer congestion of the highway. You basically have to ride the same person's ass for 45 minutes until you get to The Woodlands area.

Then, you've got assholes dangerously weaving in and out of lanes just to ultimately get a single car length ahead of where they were to begin with. Not to mention the criminal scum that emerges onto the highway at places like Greenspoint, Aldine and other hellholes of Houston.

Is I-45 one of the worst highways in the nation? I'm not sure the expansion project would really do anything to alleviate the issues that plague that road.

Obligatory cold weather post – drop those ERCOT grid expectations https://houstonnewmedia.org/obligatory-cold-weather-post-drop-those-ercot-grid-expectations/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=obligatory-cold-weather-post-drop-those-ercot-grid-expectations Wed, 02 Feb 2022 18:16:09 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=d2133bd26072ded9e275fab0bb0f6ac2

How will the Houston area fare the next few days during the winter weather event? Will our ERCOT overlords keep us warm through the nights? Will it be Winter Storm 2: Electric Boogaloo? Some wintry mix in between?

Drop your grid predictions and if you're taking any precautions.

Best places for cheap, good-ish handless car wash https://houstonnewmedia.org/best-places-for-cheap-good-ish-handless-car-wash/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=best-places-for-cheap-good-ish-handless-car-wash Tue, 26 Oct 2021 22:44:05 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=7579bb9ed9b1bea94dbd741e051371e8

Where can I find a cheap handless car wash in Houston? I'm talking less than $10, like I can find in other large Texas cities. Seems like everything in Houston is $20+. Inside the loop locations would be appreciated!

Help selecting utility plan https://houstonnewmedia.org/help-selecting-utility-plan/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=help-selecting-utility-plan Wed, 11 Aug 2021 06:22:59 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=7285edfe1abff24928413904b150a3e7

I need to select a new electricity plan and I'm terrible with this stuff. Especially after February's winter storm, I feel like getting some opinions here would do me good.

Does anyone have recommendations on cheap electricity plans? I will be living in 77019. My average kWh usage over a previous 12-month period living in Houston was 511 kWh, so I've been looking using the 500 kWh "estimated use" on sites like powertochoose.org and other similar sites.

I don't want to pay a lot for electricity if I don't have to and you redditors seem savvy with this stuff. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
