New stories about Houston
• The most growth is happening in the loop and the area immediately west of the loop
• Our plan however is for half of future growth to happen in areas where essentially no one lives now and there will never be jobs.
• Most Houstonians live and work within 5 miles of a major job center
• An efficient, conservative transit strategy
