Description
This corner is the epicenter for the highest incidence of violent crime in the entire Houston area.
Don't believe me? check the crime stats map for Houston.
On the attached map, the number behind the 2 are another 2 and a 13 (yes, thirteen). That is for June 25 to July 5 of this year.
We know the cause: HPD has decided to corral the homeless at the Exxon center and under the Pierce Elevated.
The area is now a no go zone.

I'd note, too, that driving on Fannin and Webster are equally hazardous with people wandering and falling into the street.

The reason for the crime around that area, I lived there for about 8 years and still work there, is KUSH.
Lots of dealers, most are now young attractive black females.They ride bicycles and some set up shop on the corners.When driving around there, watch pedestrians. Some do fall into the street. Call 911 and tell them there is a person that fell down in the middle of the street. May take a few minutes to arrive, but HPD will make sure they do not get run over.
Also there are fights over who gets which corner to sell on. Lots of knifing and shootings. I had a man who was beating up a woman on the hood of my truck pull a knife and try to stab me. I made the mistake of telling him to take the issue elsewhere. Get you CHL, avoid the place at night, and drive slowly and cautiously at all hours.
