That area didn't get hit as bad, but it did get some damage and homeowners is still expensive there. Hurricane Wilma hit on the gulf coast of the state, traveled all the way across the state, and still managed to do significant damage in West Palm on the Atlantic coast.

I'd take Detroit over Houston.

Houston has areas like that as well. The problem is the only people who can afford to live there are broadcasters, politicians, executives, etc. Instead of the two houses listed by shmike being the same amount you now have a 2,000 sqf home for $500k+ or a 4,000+ sqf newbuild for $200k.

NAW, it'll be more like the old 2000sq ft will be $350k, and if ever sold, the house knocked down and new one built thats 4000sq cuz of the land.

and the new 4000sq ft will $500k.

Fiesta? You realize that is one of the few Spanish words that all WHITE people know, right?

I bet you think taco shells come from a box and taco seasoning comes in a little pouch you find near the gravy section don't you?

I'm just messing with you, sorry.
