I sympathize with comments on the [original] blog post, where, given that Huston already exists, and you've built a career there, and the city and community: speak, serve, reward; marginal car use (except for everyone else's car use), I understand how an incremental billion dollar freeway seems like an incremental improvement over something that doesn't let you do what a car could let you do.

It's a kind of Stockholm syndrome, "Huston syndrome" might be more appropriate,
