Community questions from Houston expats
My mother is homeless now due to her behavior that also landed her in the mental hospital. I'm planning to move to Maine to make more money, but that'll take time. I'm about to call 211 but honestly, I don't know if anyone will take her in. Two shelters last night denied her due to her mental break.
I've been looking at houses in the Heights neighborhood, but I've heard they can be prone to flooding. What are some other things I should consider?
I'm looking for organizations in Houston that can discreetly deliver groceries and other necessities to immigrants who aren't comfortable leaving their homes.
I'm planning to go out with friends, but most of the rooftop bars downtown have expensive parking. Is there a way to avoid the parking fees?
I'm looking for a place to shoot some hoops with my kids on weekends or weeknights after 6PM.
I'm a cocktail enthusiast looking for a liquor store in Houston that has a deep Japanese spirit offering, specifically Shochu of various varieties. I've been to Houston Wine Merchant, but their spirit inventory isn't as fleshed out as the wine.
I was driving on 610 by TC Jester and saw two accidents. A mini Cooper rear-ended a truck on one side, and a car crashed into the median on the other side. I'm worried about the people involved.
I was parked in a public street in the Heights and a man yelled at me to leave, then he backed into my car and caused significant damage. I'd like to know if I can park on the street and how to report him for damaging my car.
I'm getting overwhelmed by calls from Indian scammers asking for medicare parts A and B, home security systems, funeral stipends, etc. I get 30-40 calls a day. My family and friends visiting from Italy are getting calls too. How can we stop it?
I just got a call from the city water department saying I used 70,000 gallons of water in one day. I took pictures of my meter and it showed no consumption over the hour I took the pictures, and a couple days later I had only consumed 100 gallons more. I'm concerned it's an error and I don't know how to contest it.
I'm still figuring out the city and I'm looking for some budget-friendly things to do in Houston that are worth the money, but not overpriced or overly hyped on social media.
