    I use to have relatives who lived in Galveston when I was a child. I loved to ride actoss to Galveston. We would carry bread for the seagulls who followed the ferry. You could throw a piece of bread up high in the air and a seagull would swoop down and grab it in the air. Some people would actually hand feed the seagulls. Another thing I enjoyed was watching the dolphins swim alongside the ferry. This video brought back some fond memories. Thank you sir

    Luis😊 can I tell you one more thing, please? Were you here after hurricane Ike in 2008? If not, the press deemed Galveston unrestorable, saying it was a dead town and would remain a dead town, because the healthcare system was destroyed and too expensive to ever rebuild. Patients (one was my best friend) had to travel all the way to Houston’s MD Anderson to continue their cancer treatments since the Galveston center was closed. There were many crises and devastations post-Ike, and Galveston’s healthcare system was #1.

  • @diannearcangel3531
    @diannearcangel3531 10 місяців тому

    Luis, your video coverages of Galveston are excellent! I will be referring friends and family to you. Meanwhile, in this video, I would have included healthcare as one of the top Pros, with UTMB, which includes the newly rebuilt $438 million Jennie Sealy Hospital, a fabulous level 1 trauma center, Shriners Hospital, etc. Most of the buildings received significant damage and closed after hurricane Ike on September 13, 2008 and have since been rebuilt beyond their former glory. For many people wanting to relocate, local healthcare in a major consideration and Galveston offers that. 🎉😊

    I have love for Galveston and live up 45 near the southern part of Houston. If I ever lived in Galveston my house would have to be elevated and built strong to be storm resistant. For folks not from Houston or Galveston, Galveston is a part of the greater Houston area even though Galveston folks like to stay to themselves at times lol. Pretty much anyone living in Galveston works in Houston proper just like the majority of the suburban areas in the city.

    • @livingingalvestontexas
      @livingingalvestontexas 11 місяців тому

      Galveston indeed is part of the Greater Houston area, but it's a very different feeling overall, which is why a lot of us feel like leaving Galveston is like leaving the country lol. While there are many commuters that leave the island to work closer to Houston, there's actually a significant amount of people that commute to the island every day for work. Galveston's thriving hospitality industry as well as UTMB brings lots of work to the island.

    • @diannearcangel3531

    We are looking at moving down to Galveston next year or maybe this fall, but want to come and stay in a few condo's to see what area we like. We like the Diamond Beach Resort, but also wanted to know if there are any good condos in the Strand area?

    • @livingingalvestontexas
      @livingingalvestontexas Рік тому

      Yes! There are many different condominiums around the Strand and downtowns area. They’re definitely a different aesthetic than the Diamond, but if you’re wanting to be close to everything and enjoy the more urban lifestyle it’s perfect. I do recommend visiting and staying for a few days on both areas of town to see what you like best. You can go wrong either way, but there’s pros and cons to living on either side of town. I would be happy to help you find the perfect place or answer any questions you may have. I live and work on the island and can honestly answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.

    • @livingingalvestontexas
      @livingingalvestontexas Рік тому

      Hi there! Thank you for your comment and your question. Galveston has very limited land to build and water front land is sold at a premium. There's a new luxury condominium being developed towards the West End of the island and there's also a new mix-income housing complex being build right off of Broadway in Mid-Town so new developments are in the works. There's also a large market for the existing condominiums on the island with many units being bought and sold that can be used as secondary properties and/or vacation rentals.

    Whats the neighborhood like north of Broadway from 25th to 43rd street is it a safe area or is it pretty dangerous?

    • @livingingalvestontexas
      @livingingalvestontexas Рік тому

      That part of town has started to see a lot of new development and there's a lot of industrial building (warehouses, long term parking, etc.) so it tends to be a bit more "run down looking" but at the same time there are many neighborhood with multi-generational residents of Galveston that live in that area. With the new developments that are up and coming, the area is seeing a bit of a revitalization. As in many other parts of the island there are good things and bad, but I wouldn't refer to any part of town to be dangerous.
