Texas -- a failed state
Guess I better go take a good picture of the newly repainted Houston Pride Crosswalk (Installed and upkept with private funds) before Gov. Sitler and Mayor Shitmire have it removed

Well on the bright side if Gov. Pritzker wants to pull an Abbott and have Illinois Guard troops monitor "invading forces" like Abbott did during Jade Helm in 2015 he won't have to send anyone who can move that quickly... https://www.texasobserver.org/how-greg-abbott-got-played-by-the-russians-during-his-jade-helm-freakout/†- Texas -- a failed state

I will admit I have had to make changes to my life and the way I do things to make riding the Red Line to work every day work for me (moving to within walking distance to a station, learning to not let things like homeless people bother you, learning to not feel helpless without my car parked nearby, etc) but in my own experience it has paid dividends and will do it for as long as I am able to not have to go back to the daily driving my own car through the mad max hellscape that is Houston during rush hour. Houston just isn't a city where public transit is going to be more convenient, easier, or less stressful than driving a car unless you put some effort into it on your end, but it can be done and it sucks that now the Transit agency and City are working to make it even harder.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston?

My main fear right now is they really are just degrading the service to the point where they can justify curtailing service (look out for future 12–20 minute headways on the Red Line during the week) and then eventually removing it. METRO becoming the street paving arm of Houston Public Works is another sign of that change in focus from actually providing transit services to just being a piggybank for the City and whoever happens to be Mayor to use at their own discretion. Unfortunately, this time got a shithead Republican in very thin Democrat clothing Mayor Whitmire... hopefully the voters in the can see this as a problem and not make a mistake like that again...- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Quote from that article that caught my eye: "The space will also serve as a visitor’s center and will be the largest mass timber building in the entire nation. All the wood used will be sourced in Texas, according to Chancellor Hegar." ...Aggy and building with large amounts of timber...what could possibly go wrong??- What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston?

Yeah caught that and the LINK Houston protest race on Friday where the basically tied the Red line train walking for 7 blocks downtown. Thing is it was working much better just a few weeks ago and the City/METRO is actively degrading the system to the point at which it's nearly unusable. Thing that really chaps me is all the responses I have seen from METRO keep emphasizing they are working for a solution that works for everyone...as in they are trying to cater to the thousands upon thousands of single occupant cars driving downtown by slowing the trains to a crawl...what is the point of having a transit agency that is going to screw over its own riders to let people in cars get around faster?- Texas vs. Florida- 2:30pm on ESPN

Honestly kind of respect the blatant grift game of Sid Miller, very much reminding me of Rick Perry- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Couple weeks ago one of my friends said it could a be a Category 5 shit storm of a coaching carousel and think he is probably right.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Non-CR thread
Has become increasingly apparent over the last week that the city either revoked or greatly reduced the traffic signal priority given to METRORail trains, especially the Red Line through downtown and it is causing all kinds of problems for those of us who try to use transit to get to work without having to drive every day. Trains having to stop at every single intersection now causing really shit service and METRO even began by lying about it saying it was "mechanical issues" but eventually had to fess up that they were working on "Signal Timing". Red Line is like the one semi decent transit option in this city and City Hall (Probably that Elmer Fudd fuck Whitmire) and Metro (cunt board chair Brock or super cunt board member Alexandria Mealer) have conspired to fuck it up...- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
