At least there are options tho. Not everyone has a car or wants to drive it everyday.

East parking garage is probably the best one. There are a couple of new ones that will be open in the Fall too. Parking will get better once they open.

One time I owed about $300 in parking fines plus a tow from UH. Called the parking desk lady and the next day a plus 300 in my bank account. First lady I talked to wasn't giving me anything though so I had to call back again and try with someone else.

He brings activity to this section so his leash is long tbh

Don't think he is saying remove all freeways. Just those around downtown. I think it would be nice if 45 was demolished and you routed that traffic onto 10/59. Then you could open up the west side of Downtown.

Nah the GAWC is just about the worst "global city" list you can use. Their criteria is stupid and they have been discredited time and time again. Other lists like Foreign Policy are much better. People like to use the gawc list because they are at the top of the Wikipedia page.

But do all of the hotels fill up around Houston for the Rodeo? Nope. It's no where near the SB. It's mostly Houstonians all going to one spot (Reliant). The SB has many more people from out of town that fill up our hotel rooms and go hang out in Uptown, Washington, Downtown, and some will probably end up on Richmond too.

This Walmart is pretty awesome. never any crowds and the shoppers are definitely not your "people of Walmart". Attractive people shop here . I guess the name alone brought all that opposition.

I wasn't suggesting an alternative besides just moving over. I just don't know anyone who follows behind bicycle riders. If you have the patience to follow behind someone on a bike more power to you.

So let's all go at 10 mph and follow behind bicycles (.....or just move over). I love the assumptions you and other posters made about my post.

We use to call it that back in junior high. All the HTX rappers did.

I think the refineries over there stunt some of the growth too. The eastern half of the loop probably declined because the families there got promotions and moved to Pasadena, Baytown, Clear Lake, etc. That and more singles have moved there as families have left. The Woodlands is pretty impressive. It definitely feels like a fake city but they planned it well. Most people up there still work somewhere in Houston I bet. Travel time to Hobby from Sugar Land isn't that bad. TW has definitely jumped over it in the jobs department though. As for Katy/Energy Corridor, there is nothing that resembles Greenspoint. The housing stock is too great and there are too many companies based around there for it to happen. Greenspoint doesn't have the housing stock and Sharpstown didn't have the corporations. The Katy Freeway has long been the only freeway in Houston that doesn't pass through any "seedy" areas. I don't think that is going to change.

Really? Follow behind a bicycle?

I have a sibling that works for United so I do enjoy my free or pay taxes only flights, but they definitely have crappy customer service. You can tell if you get a United crew or old Continental crew.

Bump because lockmat knows what it looks like but won't tell

This one is starting to rise from the ground now. Two cranes raised high and second or third floor beams bring placed (don't remember). If I remember, ill take a pic tomorrow. It's too bad eldridge is planned like shit between westheimer and the reservoir.

Yeah this is all that matters. Houston is severely lacking in sidewalks, but that is getting better. Same thing with parks and the city landscaping. We don't need zoning. Getting along just fine imo. I much prefer the randomness in the loop over the planned sterile look of uptown Dallas.

You never know. They don't seem to cheap the roads like that out in Katy. Most are four lanes, some being expanded recently.

A disadvantage of having so many unincorporated areas in Houston. Bad planning here. Fyi, u don't live in a city.

I have the pleasure of reverse commuting on the Katy. The freeway is so damn wide, but there are times where traffic bunches up for no reason at all. So from my experiences bad drivers are: 1. Slow drivers who pick random lanes on the freeway and drive in it instead of staying to the right. If people would treat each lane to the left as the next passing lane, there wouldn't nearly be as much traffic. These also tend to be the people the brake for everything when its bumper to bumper instead of letting the vehicle roll. Especially going uphil...my god people let gravity ans friction work for you. 2. People texting, daydreaming, not paying attention, etc. 3. People who drive with like a car gap between the car in front of them. This is especially bad when these drivers are on the right side and you're trying to get on/off the freeway. You can't leave as much of a gap in urban areas as you can in rural, but the length of an 18-wheeler should be the minimum gap between vehicles. I don't normally see people fly down the side streets in Houston. Too many potholes. Now Cinco Rand Blvd? You better watch out...

hell yeah. now hopefully qt comes down here also. i was spoiled by them in dfw.

Yeah thats what im guessing. its crazy how the building start at mason road now.

All the new Aldi's around Houston have been packed.

And ill say again, TW is nothing like Fort Worth, which has been a large city for over a century. This is more like Plano. Houston never had to deal with leeching suburbs, but its finally starting to happen. At least Exxon can be annexed into the city.

And that reason definitely wasn't attendance.
