"In early 2003, the Houston Metro area lost the bid for a Toyota manufacturing facility in response to the poor air quality in the region; San Antonio won the bid for a manufacturing facility. In return for Houston's loss in job creation, as if it was even reconcilable, Toyota decided to buy the naming rights for the downtown sports arena, believing that stuffing the pockets of local millionaires would make up for the loss of hundrends of decent-paying jobs in the metro Houston area." Um, I thought we were supposed to have a NEUTRAL POINT OF VIEW for god's sake!
