      Your worry too much about the flood! 😂. If the underground freeways get flooded, so what. It will trap the water in it to prevent the water from leaking out

    We are the 4th largest city in the United States, just behind Chicago, but we don't really have a tourist infrastructure and certainly not one that attracts world attention. There are attractions in the general area but not much to see downtown, and getting around on public transport is very limited. We could use some high speed shuttle trains between the airports and downtown/galleria and Galveston, and more to see in the middle of the city. If we can establish a healthy tourist industry the city will be forced to clean up the crime problem to avoid embarrassment.

    That train on Main Street was such a waste it was so much fun being able to walk across the street and bar hop. With nothing blocking you also residents rarely ever use the train as transportation because to many homeless just ride it for free and beg for money I loved downtown at 1 point in my life but as years rolled by it just got worse I won’t be calling downtown home anymore after July

    It was better in the 1980s after the oil bust when downtown was a complete ghetto where you could be murdered if you were there after dark. If you did not want to get murdered you did not go there after dark. Simple enough. The right politicians were bought to initiate this project that benefits only a small minority of Houstonians and pushes poor people out of that area. Houston has many other problems that are much more severe like the nearly daily road rage shootings and murders. Oh, and instead of those stupid metro surface level trains that CAUSE traffic jams, congestion, and air pollution when they interrupt fast traffic signal operation, the idea of a REAL commuter rail system carrying passengers to major residential areas surrounding the city is off the table. Roads and highways around downtown are jammed up nearly most all daytime hours of the day and they want to make it worse.

      They didnt want to sacrifice space for the rails. So they put it on the roads. They want more space for more builidngs which leads to happy city and more people coming here. But they should of built more and taller skyscrappers.
