It was pretty bad to begin with, and that's just the homeless Houston people.
It seems a lot of the evacuees are just wallowing around and expecting the government to hold their hands and spoonfeed them through everything. I get panhandled by a bunch of New Orleans people as well as some Beaumont people (who got hit by Rita) sometimes when I fill up for gas. It's sad, but it's also not terribly difficult to find a job here.
