On Tuesday’s Houston Matters: A new report says crime and murder rates this year are expected to decline in the nation's largest cities — except for Houston. We learn more about the research from NYU School of Law’s Brennan Center for Justice.

Also this hour: A new study examines which of Houston’s neighborhoods are the most susceptible to gentrification. We learn why. Then, we begin our look back at 2018 by reflecting on the biggest transportation stories of the past year with News 88.7’s Gail Delaughter.
