Do cities have a future? Pessimists point to industrial-era holdovers like Detroit and Cleveland. Urban boosters point to dense, expensive cities like New York, Boston and San Francisco. Yet if you want to see successful 21st-century urbanism, hop on down to Houston and the Lone Star State.
You won't be alone: Last year Houston added 141,000 residents, more than any region in the U.S. save the city's similarly sprawling rival, Dallas-Fort Worth. Over the past decade Houston's population has grown by 24%--five times the rate of San Francisco, Boston and New York. In that time it has attracted 244,000 new residents from other parts of the U.S., while older cities experienced high rates of out-migration. It is even catching up on foreign immigration, enjoying a rate comparable with New York's and roughly 50% higher than that of Boston or Chicago.

This Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, at 2:00 p.m., Commissioner Steve Radack’s Precinct 3 office will once again host the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at The War Memorial located in the Bear Creek Park. Each year, the office arranges to add the names of Harris County’s fallen servicemen and women to the War Memorial wall in a short ceremony recognizing the fallen heros.
This year is perhaps even more special because the ceremony experienced its first ever cancellation last year due to park flooding. Additionally, this year will include not only fallen soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also the addition of a WWII Harris County veteran’s name, which is yet to be disclosed, and resulting from the culmination of efforts by both the veterans’ family and Radack’s office to verify the residence and service.
