Citizens' Vision for Houston's Future

Just as many states began taking matters into their own hands as the federal government became less dependable for infrastructure development, border control, emergency management etc., so are Texas cities assuring their own self-determination. It seems they are echoing a common refrain: Carpe Diem! (Seize the Day!).

In order to compete for limited resources and talent today and assure they do not become the ghost towns of tomorrow, cities are planning their futures and getting about the task of executing those plans.
