LOL. It's just the fact that people drive well below the speed limit, it's the fact that she deals with more stale green lights in the Heights than anywhere else. "Yo Bro, the lights been green for like 10 seconds!"

According to the wife traffic is slow in the Heights because everyone is stoned or something.

The main hold up is they have yet to green-light Ocean's 14. When they do I'm sure this building will fulfill its best and highest use as an imploding Mid-century Vegas casino. The building has some issues, however rumour has it that there is a few bottles of Louis XVIII stashed somewhere in the building so it may be worth a site visit. Just watch out for the occasional hole in the deteriorating floor...

Wise move, much more residential.

My guess is that the targeted crossfit customers (20 something females), *for whatever reason* decided to stop patronizing this business/location, or complained loudly about it. Having waited for many a green light at this intersection, and being privy to overhearing more than a few street conversations I have my suspicions. The typical conversation I overheard follows this theme: "Boy, I'd like to f*** her!" Leaving their door open all the time probably did not help matters.

I guess the Pin-up workout place went out of business, which will disappoint the pervs that would gawk at women working out from across the street. The good news is that they still have a reason to stop by and visit this convenient location. I applaud them on their smart location choice as we all know that the key to success is knowing your neighborhood and it's needs. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8441/7979675172_45eefe421f_h.jpg Hopefully this will help anchor this area and bring in other businesses that would complement the current neighborhood trajectory. I'm thinking a checks cashed, pawn shop, smoke shop, self-defense school, or pain management center would synergize well near this location. I also really dig their design choices. It's good to let people know what services you offer in big fonts. Heck the people that live across the street won't even need to leave their breakfast rooms! Awesome...

It's very important, in fact you could say I'm the biggest proponent of global warming. I made it my life mission to fight global cooling ever since my grade school teachers informed us that we were on the cusp of another ice age. The warmer our winters are the less precious fossil fuels will be needed to heat our homes, which is why we've been burning 500 old tires a week since the late 1970's. Alternative energy is where its at and I encourage everyone to take responsibility and do what they can to prevent global cooling. More cars on the road equals more tires, and more tires equal more rubber trees. (if you're into heirloom rubber that is) And we now know that trees cause global warming.(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2185493/Could-trees-causing-global-warming-Air-forests-80-000-times-normal-levels-methane.html) We owe a debt of gratitude those those that saved the rain forest for us by planting the next generation of trees.

I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
TGM replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
That should not be a deal killer. Diesel particles have been the main culprit and now that diesel particle filters are fast becoming common place I think I would be more worried about diesel exhaust from the construction of the road rather than the ongoing use of it. -
Back off, the compass is mine. Go buy your own box of Monsanto corn flakes with the toy surprise inside.

This pretty much sums it all up, past, present, and future. From Goldman Sachs Elevator: #1: If riding the bus doesn't incentivize you to improve your station in life, nothing will.

Metro's biggest problem is itself. It's unable to deliver half-assed in half the time at half the cost. Even if you are the biggest rail fan in the world you'll be gone and buried before Metro moves their train set from grandma's attic to the real world. Mobility has nothing to do with rail routes, it's political influence from competing local special interests.

As long as they're private tollways that rely upon drivers to fund them not taxpayers.
-
It's relevant if we're discussing government spending on massive public works projects.

How can we have permanent gridlock when peak oil and polar ice melts will render all transport systems obsolete?
-
I think nothing short of Haussmann's Renovation of Paris will please the Thomas the train crowd. And why not when they hold the belief that their public transport plans trump private property rights.

The last time Jeeves left my clubs at Gus Wortham (public course) they ended up being used by the homeless to tenderize their squirrel meat.

Yeah, but if you quiz him on her he'll tell you she writes books about trains.

None of which are luxurious as they are after all public transit. lux·u·ry - a material object, service, etc., conducive to sumptuous living, usually a delicacy, elegance, or refinement of living rather than a necessity. On a crisp fall morning I awake eager to hit the greens. I step into my garage and cast a glance at my DB5, Miura, Ghibli, 3.0CSL, and 600 Pullmen. Finding these to be rather unremarkable my butler grabs my golf bag and I trek 3 blocks to the closest Metro stop to wait for my bus to arrive and open its opulent door to me.
-
I challenge you to stop by that area at 6:30am on a Saturday to breathe the air of luxury.

I think your point would be more convincing if you had a cartoon mascot of sorts. Branding, it's all about branding. You want kids to be traumatized when mommy wants to go to Walmart for $1 Lunchables.

The Paris Metro is excellent, the Tube in London is excellent, but they're not luxurious. I'll consider it luxury when my train car seats 4, smells like an English saddle shop, and accommodates my ever-changing schedule.

The Luxury of bus travel
-
So you're telling me my bus drivers name is Jeeves and that smell is Connolly leather not butt-odor? Luxury and choice? To describe public transit? Are you mad?
