,” : The Texas Department of Transportation is a perfect purveyor of Texas values. An unwieldy, out-of-control, cash-rich entity uninterested in the general welfare of its population, it revels in its prime directive of concreting the state. Made invulnerable by Bob Lanier who single-handedly set back public transit in the largest city in the state by defeating Kathy Whitmire and ending her futuristic monorail project which would have made mobility a reality for Houston’s Space City ambitions.
TxDOT plans to use its many billions of dollars to build a monstrous North Houston highway costing enough money to basically build a high-speed commuter rail throughout the entire city. As an example of it having more money than it knows what to do with, the department has bought the three-building Lofts at the Ballpark, depriving a housing desert of needed housing stock — let the public be damned.
