> well-designed human-oriented city like Houston

Said no urban planner in the history of urban planning. Or NJB (https://youtu.be/uxykI30fS54)

> FASTER commutes than ANY similar-sized city in Europe.

Houston ranks 7th worst traffic in the US. The internet tells me you’re boasting of 30mn for an “average 6 miles commute”. That’s bicycle distance and speed that you need to drive due to a broken city.

Wrong. Houston is a great example for planners who care about housing availability and the quality of life for the people. And not bike lanes and road diets.

Yes. And the 7th worst traffic in the US is STILL BETTER than any large European city's oh-so-great transit.

Tells you volumes, doesn't it?
