Houston Strategies

June highlights

Time again for the monthly ritual. Near the first of every month, I'll be adding a post highlighting key posts from the previous month(s), with a particular focus on significant ideas I'd like to see kept alive for discussion and action. The main page will only show about a month's worth of entries, and I know most new readers won't go back into the monthly archives linked at the bottom of the right-side column. If you're just interested in the highlights, here they are:

June:

• Creative ways to fund more police
• Houston's new transit plan plus rail risks and other risks
• Mayor White gets it right on sprawl and followup
• Why does Houston have such a great restaurant scene?

From May:

• A win-win-win strategy for Big Oil, Houston, and developing countries
• Recapturing gambling dollars from Louisiana
• Keys to unlock our gridlock (includes a link to the 3-part series)

From April:

• April Fools: Houston embraces "New Weather Urbanism"
• Improving managed lanes in Houston
• Reducing pass-through truck traffic
• MaX lanes (last 2 paragraphs)
• Does Houston have a sense of 'sacredness'?

And from March:

• An education strategy for Texas
• Making Houston a global financial hub
• Realistically repurposing the Astrodome
• Venture capital in Houston
• Relieving the north-south traffic bottleneck
• A new UH - Institute of Technology campus?

Thanks for your interest in Houston Strategies.
