Houston s air pollution is nationally known. We spend a fortune on freeways and roads. The concrete of our endless parking lots, driveways and roads heats up Houston. In a decade, the price of oil is expected to go through the roof. Driving is dangerous.
Car dependence is unsustainable.
I decided to kick the car habit cold turkey. Now I bicycle, take the bus, or walk. I sold my car and I moved into Houston s slow lane. For a few months, I had withdrawal symptoms. I missed the power and control of driving.
