For the love of god -- nobody else move to Houston. The traffic is already so bad that the freeways are jammed as soon as the new expansions are completed.

Mass transit? Forget it. Tom DeLay saw to it that Houston would never have a functioning rapid transit system (too socialist).

if you houstonians want a mass transit system then why don't you build one? do you need tom delay to hold your hand or something? are you begging for federal dollars?

if they don't give you the money, i suggest you build it without begging like a dog for the money and quit blaming everyone else for your lack of action.

get off you lazy duffs and build the fucking thing fer christ sakes.

We would, but we refuse to tax ourselves and the Chinese won't lend us any more money. Besides, we consider any type of government planning to be inherently bad.

In Texas, the only new construction is for toll roads. It's much more profitable for private corporations (nobody cares about the citizens/consumers anymore) and it keeps the riff-raff off the highways.

i see. you refuse to tax yourselves and now you're pissed at tom delay for not taxing me. that's par for the course jackie.

i'll bet you're a democrat.

You must live in Katy.

Over here (inside the loop) we're building more light rail, and traffic on the totally-rebuilt West Loop and 59 runs at a smooooth 75mph except for one hour each day.

What's even worse is that Tom DeLay sent most of the funds to .... Dallas. Why??

He favors improvements to Houston's transportation infrastructure. The majority of Houston voters disagree with him and refused to approve the needed tax hikes to pay for it. An (until recently) influential representative of his state in Congress also disagreed and declined to push for Federal funds to pay for the improvements.

John, did I get it right?
