I could pick a picture of 3rd ward and do the same thing. You look worse and worse by each post you make.
Question: have you been to Vancouver? Try looking at a simple satellite image of the area. There is one freeway running through the far eastern part of the city. That article you posted actually talks about the benefits of not having freeways through the city, lol I'm assuming you didn't even read it?
These stupid tangents make this thread hard to read. Ignore the trolls and let the adults talk please. I'm not counting on technology to kill traffic problems (unless we invent a flying car or teleportation), and alleviating highway level traffic was never a chief focus of the rail system anyway. Sure it will help, but the surface level streets are what will see the most impact. When it comes to alleviating highway traffic, rail is a preventative measure for the future, as you encourage population growth inside the city that is connecting to those transit lines, you end up removing future cars off the highways that otherwise would've been coming in from Sugarland and bottlenecking up 59. I'm not sure why everybody is acting like rail and highways are competing factions. They're both important and necessary to an effective infrastructure that serve different needs to different people. Houston's demographics and needs are changing, it may never be wholly "walkable", but connecting the walkable, geographically aligned neighborhoods via rail is an inevitability. Culberson has been the last domino to fall on this for a long time now.
Damit, We're Space City, not streetcar town. Or how about this from the Galleria to Downtown, over the trees.
You have not come back with any sort of real argument whatsoever. all you have done is purposely misinterpret posts to fit your anti-rail agenda and/or ignore any posts that you can't argue against at all. you don't dominate anything except your fight against logic.
Your the one who sees a predominantly black neighborhood and likens it to a Indian slum with no electricity, running water and twigs for a roof. Tex specifically said he wasn't gonna bring race into it.
What I said had NOTHING to do with race. I am just saying there are places of urban blight everywhere, Texx is a buffoon for thinking that is an accurate representation of that city. If I go around and take pictures of homeless people under bridges in Houston, would that be accurate as a whole? Stop race baiting.
In that case I'd suggest you not say third ward in the future dude. I mean I doubt anyone sees this Spoiler in the third ward. Cause if you do, you are probably looking through some racist ass goggles.
