Is there no room for honesty anymore? Everyone has known about Colony Ridge for a few years at least. All of the law enforcement groups have known about it, as well as all of the surrounding towns city councils and surrounding counties commissioners. No one has done a damn thing. All of these weak public officials have looked the other way out of political expediency at least. Hell, even the governor, Abbott, has sent our state guard soldiers to border crossing areas with rifles and no live rounds. The men have been stabbed, clubbed, and run over by criminal crowds while the Austin/‘all hat and no cattle’ leadership has claimed they were managing the issue. There are other big problem areas also, such as a subdivision named Trails End, just north of Hwy 105 and west of Cleveland, Texas. In late 2022 or early 2023 there was some very bad murders out there where 4 or 5 adults and at least one or two kids were murdered. The gunman was an illegal as were the victims. The county sheriff and commissioners knew about that area, and have done nothing. The area is still there and still full of illegals. The properties are very run down in many cases, snd there are glaring code violations that no regular subdivision would get away with.

I just think it is sickening for this to be reported as if it is a new problem. These areas have been growing for years, and it has been obvious that it is a very illegal immigration as well as crime area. Lt. Governor Patrick has really gotten a good look flying over it in a helicopter. Yeah, right.

I didn't realize they had unfair business and housing trade practices, like predatory loans. That will injure the Texas housing and real estate markets. This is bad for everyone, including the twilight central and South Americans living in these homes.
