Guys, I know that home prices and rents are going up everywhere, including in Houston. But personally, I think the Houston area seems to have seen less of a price increase compared to the DFW area and Austin area? ( r/Dallas and r/Austin on Reddit often have posts discussing housing prices, while r/Houston has much less of this discussion. Also, some of my college friends from Austin think so too.) If that's true, why? Different industrial structure? (High-tech and IT companies move into Austin; DFW's energy industry is less than Houston's) Fewer media coverage? population? Forgive me if I'm wrong.

What caused the decline of Alief and the deterioration of the school district? https://houstonnewmedia.org/what-caused-the-decline-of-alief-and-the-deterioration-of-the-school-district/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=what-caused-the-decline-of-alief-and-the-deterioration-of-the-school-district Thu, 21 Apr 2022 00:04:27 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=0231a8c15eedfc1d5b74e196807e1ed1

I am now a college student. Before college, I went to high school in Elsik, Alief ISD for 9th grade, and then because I couldn't stand the atmosphere at that school - most of the students were noisy and didn't pay attention in class, the teachers were good, but they couldn't handle the students in their classes (at least in the 9th-grade center), also my mother had a job change, I went to Fort bend ISD. Yes, although the pressure to study has become greater, my new high school is indeed better.

A few years ago I was working part-time in a restaurant at Sugar Land, there was an older gentleman who came to dinner often at the restaurant I was working at, he was very talkative. One time we got to talking about school and he was surprised that I came from the Alief School District, and then he said, somewhat ruefully, "30 years ago, that area of Alief was not that bad. "

What caused the decline of Alief and the deterioration of the school district? When I went to school in Elsik I bet the teachers I had were great, but it's a real shame that no one listened in class.
