So wait wait wait, let me back up – the biggest thing catching my eye from City Hall this week isn't a new ordinance or a big vote. It's about how we talk about Houston, and who's telling those stories.
### Telling Our Stories
Peter Bhatia, the CEO of Houston Landing, just announced his departure. This is a big deal, y'all. Houston Landing has only been around a couple of years, but they’ve been trying to fill a pretty massive gap in local journalism. They've been diving into everything from the issues facing our Venezuelan families after the end of CBP One, to the work being done at the Homeless Court – remember Scot More, the advocate working there? That was a powerful piece. They’ve been highlighting "Who are HOU?" and really trying to capture the pulse of this city.
You know what the wildest part is? This departure comes right after they hosted their "Final Storytellers Event" just yesterday, May 15th, exploring the meaning of family. It feels like a moment of transition, and it leaves you wondering who steps up next to keep telling these deeply human, deeply Houston stories. We need more voices, not fewer, to truly reflect the mosaic that is H-Town.
What does this mean for us? We need to keep our eyes on who takes the reins at Houston Landing, and how their vision aligns with the complex, no-limits identity of our city.
H-Town on the wire — no limits, no zoning, no excuses.
