every time i look at Texan urban planning, i die a little inside. most US urban planning is bad, but it’s so uniquely bad in Texas that it’s not even funny, and there’s almost no way to systematically improve it short of nuking the suburbs and starting over because of how bad the sprawl is
The other thing that doesn’t help is the state has it out for urban centers and actively works to destroy them. People from Houston drove to Austin to project the project linked below. As soon as the last persons was done speaking, the state approved the project. Houston did not want this expansion.
