- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoHouston would need another 5 hurricanes to be livable, and ATX just wants to keep having shitty roads and more traffic with its token tram that crawls into E ATX. Where I grew up, I recall the demolition of a 1920's-era local train station took 15 years and it was replaced in the 90's with a light rail system with stations in the middle of nowhere and railcars were almost always empty. Most American cities are too badly designed to allow for efficient local public transportation. I think about the only way out is high speed rail into city cores from feeder satellite residential suburbs, and then local busses and trains. I'm glad NoLa got a clue.
