2. numbers ain't my strong point

but Houston is a very large city, and 24K empty apartments might be normal in a time of low interest rates for home buying. I have Houston relatives who have barely mention the influx of New Orleans folks, they mostly speak of their gratitude for being missed by the major storms.

HOWEVER, you score points on the 'isn't it convenient' that lots of FEMA funds are going to Houston. I wonder what the ratio of funds going there is to, say, the funds coming to my city, where there are some really neat new neighbors who appear to be staying with us.
