[–] roux@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 child) I've lived here for over a decade and this is all correct. Grab a few tacos on the way through but burn it all down behind you please. It fucking sucks here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago (1 child) Give it back to Mexico, then let them burn down Dallas and Houston. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Morgoon@startrek.website 38 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) I went to Houston for the first time this year. I knew they're against any socialist policies but the thing that shocked me was no sidewalks! I was wondering how they managed so I did some research and they just don't. Hundreds of pedestrians are killed each year in the greater Houston sidewalk-less suburban area (statistically seniors?) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago Houston is a nightmare, I've been doing a ton of permitting out there and it's basically impossible because they use 95% of the right of way for the widest streets possible and if you're lucky enough to have a sidewalk, it usually doesn't connect to anything. It's not as bad as Scottsdale/Phoenix though permalink fedilink source parent [–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago Austin is the same, my sister lives there and a couple times while visiting her I walked her dog. Some houses have sidewalks, some don't, it's totally left up to the discretion of the home builder/owner if they want to put one in. So you'll have two houses with side walks then 6 with one and then one house with one... It's fucking horrible for walking dogs and pedestrians in general. permalink fedilink source parent [–] quarrk@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago Yes Houston is one of the cities I went to. I actually tried walking once out of spite. What would have been a 5 minute drive was a 40 minute walk along loud and ugly cement roads breathing in fumes from huge mall crawler Jeeps. permalink fedilink source parent
