The city is continuing to expand its mass transit. The red line has one of the highest riderships in the country (per mile) and connects two of the largest employment centers in Houston (downtown and the Medical Center)
And Hermann Park (our best city park) is also on the rail line. Hermann Park borders the Medical Center/ the Museum District/ and Rice University. All can be accesses via train and are urban in nature. A few pictures doesn't do it justice but Hermann Park is home to many festivals...including the popular Japanese Festival. I'm sure someone here can help me and post some photos.
A lot of those pictures are in downtown...we're mainly talking about neighborhoods outside of the downtown borders. And lol @ showing The Medical center. Laughable.
You know once the zoomed in skyline pics start being posted, and the festival/gathering pics, that all logic is lost.
Yes, the Texas Medical Center is truly a model of transit-oriented living. The Emergency Room is particularly nice this time of year.
For the millionth time, can someone please point us to an actual neighborhood (or even intersection) in Houston that is truly urban (like pedestrian and transit orientation, streetwalls, and limited or no parking). No malls, no CBDs, no hospital complexes. A neighborhood.
Seems like people are making irrational arguments about Houston's urbanity (Zero urban neighborhoods? Lots of McMansions in the urban core? Please). Must be a warm up for the comedy routine.
There are definitely zero urban neighborhoods, and lots of McMansions, in the urban core. Unlike the boosters on this thread, I can point to countless examples.
It may be a block or so but that's what we got plus many more U/C.
Again, give us an intersection or a neighborhood.
That pic could be in any suburb in America. It could be in any new urbanist development in America. It could be in Iowa City, or suburban Detroit, or Orange County, CA.
