is Houston the most car friendly city in the world?

>Car friendly
>Some of the worst jams traffic jams ever all around everywhere
No I dont think so. I would rather pick a place with actual good roads and low traffic.

>>28527760 (OP)
maybe th most spic friendly place. would never want to live in a shithole like that

>>28527760 (OP)
No, too many dindus and uninsured latinx clogging up the roads

I basically sit in traffic for 3 hours a day. It's hell. Inhear atl is worse but I don't see how. When I drove through it wasn't as bad as Houston during rush hour imo.

>>28527760 (OP)
Yes. The more infrastructure caters to cars, the worse driving becomes.

>>28527760 (OP)
Houston's problem is everyone wants to live away from the oil refineries /ports that actually make people money. Understandable but everyone is essentially converging on Pasadena/deer park from across the city which clogs 610 and 45.

The most car friendly places are countries like switzerland and the netherlands. The abomination in your pic is the antithesis of car friendliness in where every single person is forced to cram their shitbox next to everyone else including people who would rather not take up road space by walking or taking the train

I live here. The traffic sucks. If you're an urbanite who chooses to live within 610 and I guess beltway 8 at this point, the roads are mostly dogshit (especially within 610).
And there's nothing pretty. You can't go on nice drives and see cool stuff, no mountain passes or curves, nothing.
Wouldn't recommend it. Go to austin, san antonio, fredericksberg, new braunfels
houston's just a shithole that has jobs.

My commute was just 40 each way. It was 1.5 each way when I had the unfortunate job stint working at a chem plant wayyy the fuck over in pasadena. driving from Katy. I nearly quit my job over that shit. I eventually quit it later but still.
>>28527991
yep. I could get another job in a heartbeat but I'd have to work out that ways which would suck for many reasons. Fuck that. Had a standing offer for a place in louisiana as well but that whole state is the shittiness of the houston port in its entirety.

>>28527948
fpbp. i'm from Los Angeles and Houston has worse traffic than us. It's a nightmare.

how the fuck does traffic suck when 90% of your city are roads?

>>28528121
>90% of your city are roads?
Because adding roads adds distance to the location you actually want to be at which in turn creates traffic which in turn creates traffic control which in turn creates traffic.

The city sucks because no matter where you live you're minimum 15 minutes away from where you want to be. A drive 1.3 miles to Academy from my place is 15minutes due to traffic lights and stop signs.

It's hell.

>>28528121
Induced demand, no other alternatives

illegals w/o insurance
OYE, YOU DON'T NEED NEW TIRES ESE, JUST DON'T DRIVE WHEN IT RAINS
>crashes
>causes traffic for everyone

I lived in Houston for a year and that was enough. LA traffic might be bad, but at least it moves.
And almost every car over 2 years old has at least one dent, so I really doubt Houston is good for cars.
Also everyone drives like 3rd worlders but at 90 mph.

>>28527760 (OP)
Any city in the midwest is eons better for the simple fact that they are all tiny so traffic is barely an issue.

>>28527760 (OP)
Lmao, no

a lot of libcuckery itt. having a car is one of life's greatest freedoms that America affords us and if we have to sit in a lil bit of traffic for it then so be it. fuck off back to Jaipur you shitskins

Fuck no. It’s filled with blacks that are smoking weed the moment they get behind the wheel driving erratically and Mexicans in their beat to shit Silverados with dumped exhaust and ONDGAS stickers who think everyone wants to race their clapped shit piles. I loathe my daily commute because there will be traffic jams where you come to an abrupt halt for no reason at all on 59, 610 and i10. How fucking hard is to maintain your speed and change lanes? As others have mentioned, you’re better off driving almost anywhere else in the state if you’re looking for enjoyable routes.

>>28528315
choosing to drive is freedom, being forced to is cagecuckery

>>28528121
More roads = more people see driving as viable. Build a metro for the normies and the roads will be a joyful experience.

>the reverse 15 minute city
how horrifying

a family got conned into attending UoH a semester. I was volunteered to visit them once a month.

Fuck the toll roads, fuck the locals, fuck their shitty maintenence and fuck the humidity. It's like a horrible mix of driving through Atlanta and Dallas. The only good thing about it was its proximity to pic-related, but even they fucked off to a better place when given a chance.

>>28528687
Metro is for bl*cks, browns and thirdies, the areas where the stations are become will shitholes.

If you want to see just how bad things are, take a look at this incredible interactive planning map the TxDOT has.

https://www.dot.state.tx.us/apps/statewide_mapping/StatewidePlanningMap.html

On the left you can add overlays, one of them is "Top 100 congested roadways".
If you go down to "additional overlays" there's one for "forecast congestion", "construction", and "Future traffic and percent truck"

I saw a dude smoking crack on the way to work the other day. He would speed up then brake and just kept doing it over 20 minutes. He was inside twitching his head back and forth and dancing with his arms. Don't know how he made it but he got off at NASA.

Weed is definitely a daily occurrence. I don't think I've ever driven in Houston and not smelled weed. Pretty sure it's a non criminal offense now per the DA. It's gotten real bad even in my rich burb the boomers and Jeets are smoking up.

It's such a shit hole. I want to move but my wife likes having her parents 5 minutes away from her. But Houston fucking blows.
