Houston was expanding westward. More lanes had to be added. Adding lanes did not cause the westward population growth.
I think you are missing the entire point of the study. People are following the widened roads, not the other way around. Its moving west because thats where the access is being added/increased.
In other words, when Katy Fwy was a shitty three lanes each way, nobody wanted to move there or build there because it was such a nightmare commute. The highway was a deterrent.

No, I understand the point. “If you build roads, people will come to fill them up.” But that’s not what happened in Katy. Katy didn’t grow because of the I-10. That’s nonsense. Katy was growing anyway. Just like the west and northwest of Houston is still growing. The I-10–and other road projects in the Katy area—are following the population growth that’s happening anyway.
People were absolutely moving west to Katy before I-10 was widened to 26 lanes.

this is the vernacular of a municipal employee who wants less cars on the road, for no other reason than forcing more people to use ghetto public transit
