I submit to you, the roads are not the problem. The cheap real-estate is the problem. Houston, prime example, they widen the road FINALLY, to catch up with the people who live there who pay taxes. THEN, everyone sees those nice wide roads, with flowing traffic and says, hey, I can save 100,000 on a house, if I just drive another 15 minutes. 15 years later, it turns into an hour. Roads are not the problem, people are!

Texas is a unique state, we have people migrating here all the time. We need roads to handle the growth. Mobility = Commerce

To those that just want to shut down the roads, move to a small town. You will be much happier!!
