It's amazing. Houston is one of the few major cities that is actively reducing traffic congestion given how fast its growing. SLC is another one.
Houston just now needs to get on the ball with a massive downtown elevated rail network.
If Houston can its mass transit game going, Austin builds out its network, Dallas does the same, along with all the proposed freeway improvements like Houston's I-45, Austin's I-35, and then if the HSR line is built, Texas will arguably have some of the best infrastructure in the world.
