Dept. of Rants: Rising Rent in the Austin of Houston
As a former Montrosian, I would say so. But what can you do? It's a casualty of the city's growth, and the increasing demand for living in more urban environments - both of which are good things for Houston, at the end of the day. (Could certainly do with fewer Perry Homes gated developments, though.)

And if the "poets and artists" are really having to relocate to Acres Homes and Westbury, then I am not going to feel sorry for them - because they could easily just move to 2nd Ward and other areas just east of downtown that have their own character and cheap rents. (Seriously, how is Acres Homes the alternative to Montrose?)
