Media Coverage

Because we believe that politicians pay attention to
two things: money and media, and we don't have money.

All of the ordinances being
worked on and advocated
by Save the Bungalows
would apply to the entire
inner loop area of Houston.

           Media Coverage

     Since it began in May of 2006, Save the Bungalows efforts have
     also been covered by TV channels 11, 13, 26 and 39 and The
     Leader, a weekly newspaper.
