Yeah but it's only humorous if we're all in on the joke.

Also I pretty clearly stated why the Dallas portion is just as important as ours. This entire project begins and ends at these two points, nothing more and nothing less. There's no d myi g that without at least defending your argument.

We need to stop thinking of this project as a separate thing for each city. This is the most sophisticated modern-day piece of infrastructure built between Dallas and Houston. This is a project that encompasses everything in its path as one project for Texas.

You don't see why Dallas should play into our decision making? Ummm....wait...what only other location is this train going besides Houston?

Oh....

I know there's some plan behind all of this but damn to the common man this whole outcome of events has been so hard to understand.

Howard's Porsche is a thing. haif really has its own meme. 

 

nice pics Nate

for what for who for how long must i sit with so many questions

I mean they could cap it and put a park over it like Dallas...

what is it

That's pretty cool they did that.

Damn lol /thread

 

I would add though that my apartment is in this image and tbh the area is actually in the early stages of change. Most of the warehouses are being sold and turned into residential. It may not be a destination now but it probably will be. Everything else though is pretty spot on

I agree with our large footed friend above - unless and until someone provides some metrics for their "surveys" that just happen to fit their own positions, I'm going to take them as evidence of an invasion of the cable media echo chamber into our humble round table.

 

To our friends with their hair on fire - So far as I know each and every one of the HSR routes that follows a rail line (i.e., all of them in town) was at one time the host of numerous passenger trains every day, powered not by electricity but steam produced by burning fuel oil or coal, and blowing a steam whistle at each and every grade crossing.  Today, those lines carry a bunch of long, slow, heavy, loud freight trains, again not powered by electricity but by diesel, and again making liberal use of air horns except in some discrete areas.

 

Edit:  And please stop with the name calling.  It's rude.

Yeah but but but but...oh no wait everything you've said is right.

As I suspected, you really could not care less about the impact on neighborhoods as long as your selfish interests are satisfied. If my sample poll is any indication, the majority want it at Northwest Mall.

Are you sampling anyone outside your "neighborhoods"? Is this an official sample? Where can I see the data related to this study?

Thanks brobeans.

Any guesses to when the Houston terminal will be revealed?

Dallas stations have been revealed. On mobile so I can't post but they're both downtoen; pne option is to build it across i-30(or I-35, whichever one) and have it connected to light rail, the convention, and leave room for expansion. All of it will be developed into a mixed-use transit site.

I'm ok with all of that

I was there last Saturday and it was pretty great

It is such an easy ramp to navigate. When traffic is slow, the grade going up is so steep that you do not even have to use your brakes (like pretty much all ramps). I don't understand why people have so much trouble with it.

I don't have trouble with it lol. It's bad b/c everyone else does

So this looks better I guess.

 

We keep paying, and they'll keep building.

They're so right about that I-10 West ramp onto the GP. It's pretty awful.

It's easier to get certain people to listen to you if you blame Obama

2nd crane base is installed.

"They were planning on completely redoing the building, taking the fins off," Griffin said, referring to the seven-foot-deep sunshades coming out of the building. "Here, we won't do that."

So if the city moves in they won't redevelop the outside facade to the proposal.

 

 

Kinda feel like it doesn't go with the rest of the building
