Q: What's dumber than trying to make light rail work in Houston?
A: Trying to run light rail trains through a 100,000 people partying in downtown Houston.
One of the main reasons give for building Metro-rail was to allow people to be efficiently transported into and out of downtown during big public events. The only problem is that when you run the train through the event, how do you keep the mass of bodies out of the way of the train? Cattle catchers might work, but the public outcry and lawsuits might stack up faster than the Metro-Rail body count. :)

If I want to go to downtown Dallas, Fort Worth-less or even the airport (I call Irving a suburb of the airport) I would have to use the Trinity River Express... its HEAVY RAIL... and there have been a few people killed while walking on the tracks... idiots!
