Yes - I'd feel less safe if I lived in the hood but then again I wouldn't want to live in the hood in any city.

Third largest city in the US, of course sad stuff like this will happen. I used to live in Mexico City so definitely feel safer in Houston.

Houston is huge and not homogenous. Pick a neighborhood you feel safe in. What happens elsewhere is none of my business

Yes, I feel extremely safe in my chosen neighborhood bubble, but I am on yellow alert always and aware of my surroundings whenever I’m not at home. This is just a good practice in any place, I’d still be the same way in a small town. Drive defensively, stay aware of your surroundings, trust your gut, and use common sense (don’t visit an atm late at night or get gas, etc).

lol yes. It’s extremely unlikely you will be involved in a situation like this.

If you zero in on “crime time” reporting it will always feel that way.

As someone else said,we’re one of the largest cities in the entire US and the rare at which we’re growing, everything else will grow along with it, good and bad.

I’ve been here 11 years now and I feel safe here.

Case load= malpractice? Small plaintiff’s firm of 25 attorneys. I was a 2 year associate hired and given 50 active files in pre litigation status. 9 mos later a partner quit and I inherited 45 more. I got up to 105 files. Now I hover at 85 active files in varying stages of pre lit. I asked managing partner for help and was told to settle more claims to lessen my load. Is this what people consider negative work culture?

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.
