Pumapayam Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 The article was temporarily down when I clicked on it. What's he saying? That there isn't enough parking there, unlike the abundance here?It must be a subscription service site, sometimes you can pick up the article with the "cache".http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/06/us/06par...amp;oref=slogingmetcalf@spur.orgHere is an alternate link to the same article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. Crazy article, man. I kind of think it's the people who live there too. If Houston ever had that problem (hahahaha) we might have similar results but I would slightly doubt that it would be of the same magnitude of multiple killings...wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Houston ever had that problem (hahahaha) we might have similar results but I would slightly doubt that it would be of the same magnitude of multiple killings...wowI guess we must be pretty blessed to have "road rage" killings and drunk driving deaths instead.Anyway, for what it's worth, the article also rips on Los Angeles for the same reason. LA is probably about halfway between Houston and S.F. in terms of parking availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 To me it just sounds like they are too cheap to pay for garage parking.I pay between 6 (early bird) and 12 (after 9:00am) a day in downtown Houston. The 1100 Louisana garage is $35.00/day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webdude Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 wrong comparison. disneyland is worth visiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonfella Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Parking in S.F. is brutal. In fact, when I lived there, I sold my car. It was easier to get around using mass transit (which I loathe). Anyhow, Houston is an automobile lovers dream. Buy an expensive car. Get on a freeway or any other street and go to your destination. There WILL be parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAK Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 i think some people are missing the point of the Houston/Disney comparison.they're saying that in Disney and Houston, there is nothing walkable because everything is spread out. if you want to have a dense, walkable city, then parking problems will exist - as they do in SF.we don't have a parking problem in Houston. and for what it's worth, Houston isn't really worth 'visiting'. good for living, but not so much for visiting.

Parrothead Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Right on TAK. What he should have said was Disney World, rather than Land. That's a more proper comparison, IMHO. Drop a person in the middle of Houston and it's a lot like dropping a person in the middle of Disney World.
