With Gov. Greg Abbott conceding defeat, this effectively means the end of Mike Morath as Texas’ all-powerful education commissioner — whom Hinojosa vowed to fire if she won. Morath’s term is set to end in early 2027.

The Dynamo won in Seattle for the first time ever, in 15 years! Any competition in 5 years. Maybe we are in store for some more miracles in Texas.

I mean, the walkable places ordinance means very little if we grant a variance request to a random (in my opinion unnecessary) gas station proposal a block from a train stop

Houston has a Portico Code in the form of our Walkable Places Ordinance. But we need it to be applied lots more places.

Big thanks to Union Pacific for blocking almost every crossing on the Galveston Sub in the East End for almost 4 hours. Frustrated drivers are throwing their cars around like absolute banshees because they are frustrated.

Imagine a Houston version of Barcelona's Las Ramblas that stretched from Buffalo Bayou to Hermann Park but with light rail running down the middle. It would be incredible.
