@tobichrislorenz @Noahpinion You realize we have miles and miles of underground tunnels downtown that connect all the buildings and have restaurants right?

Houston urbanism is actually decently good and getting better every day
M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray
It's funny, Houston is this supernova of growth, the rare place in the US that is absorbing millions of domestic and international migrants and making them richer, but if you say anything nice about it, e.g. maybe non-zoning is fine, people have a meltdown.

@SuperTexans Yeah so maybe you could start a business and open a parking lot and sell spaces to all the other people driving into the city everyday instead of dictating how many spaces a business that wants to open should be required by law to have?
English
@CoreyCockrum @JoeforHouston Yeah so when everyone travels in from the suburbs (where most people live) there's no parking.

Imagine a Houston where people are prioritized over cars. Thats what I’m fighting for.
Affordable housing should be built instead of concrete lots that sit empty and contribute to higher temps. We deserve a Houston designed for people, not just parking.
JB Pritzker@JBPritzker
People over parking lots. There isn't enough housing being built in Illinois. Our BUILD Plan is working to fix that.

@SuperTexans @JoeforHouston Let the market decide that. Abolish parking minimums inside 610

@JoeforHouston People drive in cars here. Where do you propose they park them?

@HOUrbanist I dream of a fully connected inner loop with BRT lines, and commuter rail linking everything.

Meanwhile in Houston, all we get are electric golf carts that only run on weekdays.
Fun fact but our rapid transit network hasn’t grown in 9 years

Congratulations to Seattle's Sound Transit, America's fastest-growing train network, which is opening an 7-mile, 3-station extension across Lake Washington today! This is the system's 5th new segment opened in 2 years, continually pushing ridership up to new record highs!

@evan7257 We take the train to everything we do downtown. Park my car at quitman station and miss all the 45/10 mess. Only wish the bus was better between my house in the heights and the train station so I could leave the whole thing at home.

Stylistically Demi Lovato is actually Jessica Simpson’s daughter

I was just in that airport and what the fuck are you even talking about? You must be a fucking moron.

Just flew into Dallas, over half of my flight was Indian and every other person at the airport is Indian. Am I in Texas or New Delhi? What is going in Dallas?

I think we should punish teams that move their stadiums out of downtowns

Luckily the new FEMA flood plain says only my street is at risk but our house? No mama that’s safe. The street might be 30 ft, but your house is safe 😜

@CoreyCockrum Why the dust adds a certain… je ne sais quoi

So in the Midwest towns have limits on the number of trailers you can have in a town, and I think Houston should do that with car washes.

I do believe this will be the largest snow event for the PGH area since 2010. Which wasn’t a fun time
