NYC averages a population of 1400 people per city block with mixed use development. Pictured above in Houston they fit 126 cars per city block sized parking lot.
Houstonian here. Definitely have a love-hate attitude towards my hometown. The traffic is bad enough on its own without the terrible weather, hurricanes, flooding, and the shitty power grid the state has but it’s still home.

Famous world-class city Houston? Like let’s be honest this has been a joke American city for a while, like not to be all like coastal elitist but this is even notably the worst city in Texas, it’s like pheonix, it shouldn’t even be in the conversation. People don’t post Coventry or Brussels for the same reason, it’s punching down at that point, some places are embarassing enough it’s not even polite to mention them
Actually Houston has some of the best restaurants in the world. There’s a lot of cutting-edge cuisine going on there.
Inside the loop is actually quite nice. Old neighborhoods with yards. Shady streets. No freeways, everything is right there.
This picture gives me such a visceral feeling of :xi-plz:
