@osprey_xviii@the_transit_guy Also the "red line" train, which if you only look at a map seems kind-of silly, is actually quite useful because Houston's layout is pretty weird. Staying along the red line as a visitor is fun.
@osprey_xviii@the_transit_guy It pains me to say this, but honestly mid-town Houston (aside from the crippling heat) is surprisingly walkable, the "standard" block size is pretty small, and the notorious "no zoning" means there's a good mix of commercial stuff. Rest of city, not so much.
@davidgobaud@the_transit_guy@peta@NYCMayor I want horses to be happy and have very nice things, but multi-story horse barns in cities was the standard in the late 19th century. There were horrific disasters but on the other hand the city mandated connection to the city sewers from horse barns years before tenements.
@PaulWhitewick@HouseChambers@AdamMIbbotson Like a "broch"? I think the OP is talking about the mandala-like "stone circles" in the sw US, they're not "buildings" really
@allenanalysis How is this "BREAKING"? That is not a fresh post from Trump, it's old. I wish I knew what form of shit-headedness makes people like like that.
@the_transit_guy The city of Colleyville, TX passed laws recently to make it impossible to create rail stations in their city limits. But where trains can go is more federal than local, apparently, so trains go through Colleyville like trains going through East Germany to Berlin in 1955
