  1. Actually if you look at neighborhood composition statistics those neighborhoods had white people and were more diverse before redlining took place. Also I've spoken to some people in third ward and they say it still exists unofficially. Also insuranxe companies refuse to offer home insurance or if they do offer insane premiums which is basically extortion. White flight happened before FDR was president? I don't believe so.
  2. Good. That keeps the cost of building the rail low. Metro should not be paying for complete street reconstruction.
  3. Dude that blog is absurd. How can anyone take it seriously if you just lay out insult after insult?
  4. It was because inner city neighborhoods were redlined, and banks wouldn't lend to anyone but whites.
  5. Well afton oaks are the NIMBYs that started all this
  6. I guess. I Change my own oil and there are many places besides dealers that do it
  7. So you admit freeways aren't meant to carry local traffic
  8. We weren't even that drunk may be the reason the uber guy said no. That is a jerk move though.
  9. It's already succeeded in New York. No licensing cost is huge for drivers.
  10. What would be such visible indicators? Not really. Taxi services will be gone soon. This is the wave if the future. Try it then get back to me.
  11. Ok I'm just relaying what the driver told me. As long as lyft is 35% off it's a better deal than uberx right now. I'm sure uberx will match soon though, I'm honestly surprised they haven't yet.
  12. The lyft car I had didn't have a pink mustache. It's optional for the driver to have it.
  13. Took lyft today and uberx last week. My thoughts: both are essentially the same thing. Same concept and nearly identical prices. Pros of Lyft: 35% off right now, which means I would take it as long as that's going on Pros of uber: fare estimator on the app that lyft doesn't have which is enormously helpful however you can use whatsthefare.com to find lyft fares So if in a bind I would use these but if in no hurry public transport is still cheapest
  14. The rest of that school year was bad I probably heard bin laden was my uncle 1000 times. And the airports were miserable for about a year or two also.
  15. I remember being in the 11th grade and the whole classroom looking at me and within hours the racism began.
  16. I was in Austin during Rita. For Ike I took a flight to California and didn't come back for a week
  17. 1. Air pollution 2. Risk of fatality increases with speed
  18. Once when I was a kid had to shut off the car on 10, traffic stopped due to an accident
  19. That would be extremely bad preparation on southwest's part. I know they are taking over international AirTran routes from Baltimore, Atlanta, San Antonio, and Austin but houston was the key city in Texas for international flights.
  20. Southwest already has plans to fly to cabo and cancun from houston and has for some time
  21. If you come from 10 you have to change a bunch of lanes get on 290
