At the IREM Houston luncheon, Dr. Richard Murray, Ph. D. gave his valuable insight on Houston’s changing demographics and future. Dr. Murray covered topics concerning the commercial real estate community. He addressed Proposition I to political campaign funding. Furthermore, he provided a fact-based and historical approach to speculate the outcome of the mid-term elections.
“About seventy percent of Houstonians vote straight party,” Dr. Murray noted. He mentioned that no single party will gain a dominant position from the upcoming elections. The Democrats were successful in passing major bills and legislation however, continuing this theme is highly unlikely for either party in the next term. Proposition I, doubtful to pass, is losing momentum because of the taxing for school districts, churches and other tax exempt entities.
