My Dream for Houston <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xAXu1VY1ofI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
LOL at the rail fanboys Please beat this into your head -- rail just doesn't make sense for Houston. quit trying to copy other cities -- we're better than that.
I couldn't care about rails to the suburbs, I never go out there. But more rails in the city would be great
It's going to make sense as the city densifies and gas price rises. Cities grow and change just like people; Houston will evolve.
You're an idiot. I'll say it once I'll say it again. Our public transportation is in the stone age compared to other cities our size. LAOS is building a high speed rail. In our own country, Denver, Seattle, Orlando, Salt Lake City, New York City, Charlotte, San Jose, Phoenix, Detroit, Sacramento, Washington DC, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Portland, Albuqurque, Baltimore, San Francisco, and Philadelphia are expanding rail operations. At some point you have to think, if EVERYONE is seeing something in this rail thing, there must be something to it. The stubborn nature of people in this town when it comes to mass transit is unbearable and quite frankly sad.
A rail system in this city would be phenomenal. However, at this time the majority of the tax paying public will never use it. It doesn't benefit them, but instead benefits those that pay the least in taxes (local sales and property, not talking about income). Remember, this is Texas, and our support for social services is nil in comparison to states like California (that's why that state has financial problems) Until the system finally reaches the real monetary supporters, will rail expansion really thrive. Give it about 10 years.
Call me gutta, raised in southeast then moved to them apartments in greenspoint, now living with the rich white folks.
Why are people hating on the East Side? I'm from North Shore, and I consider myself a very proud Houstonian. I feel though as if the East is a bit reserved. Everyone tends to stay there.
