He CLAIMED to have synchronized the lights. All of the lights going green at the same instant is NOT synchronization. How fast would you have to go to make all of the lights?

Go to Galveston and drive up Broadway to see how staggarded synchronization works.

In the end, the city has said that they CAN NOT synchronize the lights because the irregular operation of the train turns all of the lights red at an intersection as the train approaches and leaves.

Texas56, I live in Allegra’s neck of the woods when she’s home in H-town - Westchase, one of the formerly nicest parts of Houston.

It’s totally ghetto now. Several apartment complexes around us have gone Section 8 and are covered in graffiti and missing siding. Thuggish types abound, as do payday loan storefronts.

I cannot wait to get out of here and find a better part of town. I love Houston and don’t want to leave, but the Katriminals might just drive me further out.

Xena, y'all might try snooping around in Shadowbriar and also that neighborhood north of Briar Forest 'round Kirkwood. Those are still very nice. Walnut Bend is nice but a tad pricey.

But you're right about a lot of Westchase. That little performace we saw in the Food Town parking lot when I was home last summer said it all.

Avacado lives in our neck of the woods, too and may be able to advise on some areas that are still OK.

Yes, Westchase used to be nice, but once again the Katrina types and illegals are making a once nice area of town go trashy.

You might try going Katy or toward Cypress. You have to get out further to get away from the questionable citizens of our once fair city.
