This is a new one: this fellow is saying Japan's excellent railway network is a myth because it...is busy and goes everywherehttps://twitter.com/GuidoFawkes/status/1003911876915486721 …

You can't ride a train from Austin to Michigan so Houston should look like this forever with no trainspic.twitter.com/szriL9XZGU

Oh yeah, it's time to densify and retrofit. I've got a Houston->Corpus Cristi -> San Antonio vacation earmarked for 2022 and the traffic from the airport to Galveston is literally adding a day to that trip.
-
weeewwwww that's harsh
-
It really adds about 2 hours, but they're the 2 hours that are the difference between "Getting up at 4:00" and "Getting up at 6:00", so at that point, you're flying out the day prior (since I'm not driving Houston to Galveston at midnight).
-
crazy; at just 50 miles over flat land it wouldn't take more than an hour if they had a decent suburban train there
-
I think Houston had literally zero (0) commuter rail if I recall
-
correct, they just have a (mostly for show) streetcar system
-
Now would be a perfect time to try and rezone, demolish, and fix everything since Houston got pretty wrecked by Harvey

Ok, but then build that suburban rail and do it well. (SLC, looking at you buddy... Portland, also looking at you, buddy...) And then hook it up to the airports (Which Seattle, Portland, Denver, and SLC all did, so CA needs to catch up).

yes, 100%--I don't have much faith in most transit projects I've seen in USA so far, a thorough change in mindset is required
