They want us to just let them destroy us.

Hello,

Seeking advice - My sister has been offered a 3 month job placement at an doctor's office in Corpus Christi starting in early June. We know nothing about the area but have family in Houston a few hours away.

How is living there, especially in summer? Is it safe? Are there things to do? General advice welcome on areas to live. Thank you.

I just typed up this comment to another post, but felt it deserved to be stand alone. Can anyone shed some light on this order?

Because I feel as if the water shortage is a manufactured crisis.

City of Corpus Christi has agreed to dump a large percent of the water retained per year out of the reservoirs regardless of inflow until reaching water restrictions, per ADJ 21-2464; 21-3214 and 2001 Agreed Order. Keep in mind that the reservoir system has about 900,000 acre feet capacity if I recall correctly. Dumping 151,000 acre feet/year is about 15%, draining 45% in only 3 years.

There are nuances to the agreement, but:

• "The City of Corpus Christi, as operator of the Choke Canyon/ Lake Corpus Christi reservoirs (the "Reservoir System"), shall provide not less than 151,000 acre feet of water per annum (per Calendar year) for the estuaries by a combination of releases and spills from the Reservoir System at Lake Corpus Christi Dam . . . "

then

• " When water impounded in the Reservoir System is less than 70 percent but greater than or equal to 40 percent of storage capacity, a targeted amount of 97,000 acre-feet is to be delivered to Nueces Bay andlor the Nueces Delta by a combination of releases and spills from the Reservoir System. . ."

As Texans that vote against our own interests and as coastal benders that have allowed ourselves to become bystanders in our own towns, we really need to take this lesson in and quit avoiding American history out of fear of feeling the guilt our ancestors should have felt. It's time to organize. I know Coastal Bend Indivisible and the DSA are doing their part and I know there are other non profits and community-based organizing going on, but can anyone give shout outs to what they do within corpus to give the rest of us hope and ideas on how to help our people, our village, and get these greedy money hungry mother f$#_ers replaced with someone that likes the job, not the paycheck?

I’ve been scrounging EVERY MENU looking for molé 😭

Want to sell my 4/3 house in Portland and just don’t want to deal with a realtor or the market tbh

Hey everyone. I’m supposed to be coming to cc for school and get told there are tons of casita style houses for rent. I’m trying to find them but am not currently local to just drive around and see a sign. Any idea how to find them from afar? Is there a realty company that specializes in renting them or otherin cheap and small places?

I don’t want to live in án rv, but I’m a owner of a 3/2/2 I’m getting rid of when school starts, and thought á studio to á small 2 bedroom would be good, then heard of the casitas…

Ive known about the water shortages for a couple years now and one thing I've found wild, on top of data centers and corporations using water at citizen's expenses, is how many quick quacks have popped up in recent years. Like our cities KNEW of the water crisis years ahead of time and thought that opening up car washes as late as 2024 would be beneficial to cities that already have them?
