the jamaican travels to the foreign land

A PLACE TO LIVE In NY for $1500, you could get a basement apartment. In Houston, for $1500 you could get a luxury apartment on Westheimer with a jacuzzi...or you could pay mortgage on a house. In NY for $300,000, you copuld buy a decent townhouse. In Houston, for $300,000 you can buy 2 townhouses, each one double the size of the one in NY, with a huge backyard for plenty of Barbecues and plenty of space for your little ones to chase each other around. TRANSPORTATION NY has one of the best mass transportation systems in America. Houston has one of the worst and most inefficient mass transportation systems in America. NY most people dont own a car, and they take the bus or subway. Houston most people I know, own a car AND an F150 Truck. As a matter of fact, when i first came here, I heard the advertisement telling me everyday how "this is Ford country". Most people in Houston cant imagine what it must be like to take the bus. I am presently, the only person in Houston who do...

I am of the firm belief that people in Houston looooove high gas prices. If they didn't they would have done something about it. Look at the public transportation system. Most people dont use it. However they complain about gas prices. If they were really upset about gas prices, they would complain, they would march down to the office of the member of congress that represents them and demand that something be done. Houston is the United States fourth most largest city and it does not have an effective mass transportation system. Unbelievable!
