Yeah, I have been in the Hou area for 35 years.
About how long its been since I've been there.
When I first went to Houston in the 70s, almost everything was inside the inner loop.

It is infinitely cleaner than it was 35 years ago. The main reason being there is no longer any interstate with a grass median that collects trash/requires mowing and every single stretch of interstate within the beltway has been re-built/widened in that time. That and there has been a ton of tear down/rebuild of commercial real estate.
The biggest misnomer about Houston is the traffic is bad. Sure, rush hour can be a bitch, and there a LOT of people, but for a city its size it has the best roads and alternate routes than any place in the US. It was a bitch back then, but the TranStar system initiated around that time has made all the difference in the world.

They have added two more loops around HOU since then.. lol Beltway 8 and now 99..
I just hate how HOU has no zoning laws. Also hate that there is minimal options for east west traffic flow off I-45 in Spring and Woodlands area.. have to wait in a mile backup at redlight just to cross over to other side of interstate.
