> So one might ask, if all these highways don't even permit quick transit, what the heck are they doing?

Who said that Houston's highways don't permit quick transit? They do. They're just not equipped to easily facilitate a once-in-a-generation exodus of 8 million people all in one day.

Well, considering Rita was in 2005, Harvey was in 2018, and Laura was in 2020, I think that some redesign may be in order. It's occurred more than once in a generation. It's likely to stay that way or get worse.
There was no evacuation for either Harvey or Laura.
