Houston needs to fix the public transportation to expand the coverage in suburban area and only 50% of metro are covered with bus routes.

they are working on it.

It is not easy to negotiate with suburban cities and they don't want public transportation due to fear of crime and most people ride on bus are low income.

It will be different story if you are in DC, NYC, SF, Portland and Seattle.

US Supreme Court already killed the gun ban law in Chicago.

What about bad part of Houston? Most cities have bad area and there is way to wipe off is gentrification.

I don't want live in Chicago due to extreme cold weather.

Try San Diego. McDonalds are everywhere! Hell, they have a middle school after Ray A. Kroc. He was a former owner of San Diego Padres. The major cities are filled with fast food.

You can't ban fry food. They will find the way to eat fry food or you can't stop them from cooking fry food at home. If the law passes, you're taking their choice away. :P

Houston had annexation with several cities outside the city limit making Houston city grow bigger meaning more tax revenues.

Here is the history of the annexation: https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Annexation/docs_pdfs/HoustonAnnexationHistory.pdf
