The cons of living in Houston. I'll go through them first: It is hot here, and it is humid. We have summer days that will make you melt. Fortunately we have air conditioning everywhere. Unless you're a golfer or cyclist, you won't have to experience the heat unless you're going between your car and a building. I do hear they are plenty Nigerians but its just hyped, I rarely see them. Just 2-3 African stores and Resturant.
Traffic can be bad, but so is every major city. What we have are some bad drivers. They aren't the worst, but they are poorly trained. The left lane is for passing and slower traffic must keep right, but you always get the bunghole who plants himself in the left lane at a certain speed and thinks he's going fast enough for
These drivers not only annoy me, but they also endanger other people. Fast drivers decide to push up right on my bumper, when I am going as fast as I can, making it hard to brake, for the fear of a car going into the back of my small car. It is always funny how when someone is late, the person they end up driving behind is the old lady with no care in the world about whether she gets to the store by next year. Driving should not be stressful, but because of all the bad drivers, it becomes a task that requires fast reflexes and develops patience. I love driving, but it would be so much better with the exclusion of bad
Houston is affected greatly, influenced by, and is shaped by the 5 crucial themes of geography. Not only that, Houston thrives by and grows by the major themes of geography. All the important themes of geography; Location, Places, Human/Environment Interactions, Movement, and Regions, effect and make Houston as a city of it is today. It is because of these themes that make Houston one of the most positive locations to live in.
A poem written by South Carolina pastor, Jeremy Rutledge has given readers a lot to think about. The poem was composed after the great Hurricane Harvey tragedy in Houston. In his poem Rutledge mentions the word pray many times but the meaning of it goes way beyond that. When praying for something it is important to know the aspects and struggles of it, and that is exactly what Rutledge is doing in this poem, stating all the things that make Houston unique, diverse, and capable to rise from it all.
Drivers are not all are inherently bad people who are just out to run down bicyclists, just as white people are not all white supremacists; however, there is an unknown bias we all have due to the influence of media and infrastructure. This cannot be undone easily, it can be, but it takes an abundance of work, dialogue, and understanding between countless people. Dowsett explains this by saying, “... Bike lanes are relatively new, and still just kind of an appendage on a system that is inherently car-centric.”
The City of Houston is a beautiful city that is known for its bayous, multiculturalism and its importance to the US space program. It has also been known for its poor air quality with the city ranking in the top 10 worst cities for air population in the United States, which is primarily due to the most important industries to Houston economy the Houston Ship Channel and the oil and gas industries.
The Texas population consists of people with a variety of different cultural and racial background. The Texas population seems to be very young with an approximate 27.3 percent of the population being under the age of 18, and about 11.5 percent being over the age of 65 (U.S. Census Bureau, “Texas.”). Factors that increase the Texas population include higher birthrates, lower death rates, as well as immigration from other countries and states. The population is changing from a primarily white population as recorded during the 1990s to a projected primarily Latino population by 2050. However, Latinos were not a considered a separate ethnic group until the 1990s but were counted to the white population which consisted of European whites and the Latinos. The African- American population decreased from over 20 percent during the 1850s to below 20 percent population as of 2015. Asian- Americans are considered the smallest population in Texas at 4.5 percent (The Asian Population,” 2010 Census Briefs). Due to the changing economy and
Impatience: Impatience can cause collisions because people are rushing or just don’t want to way therefore they ignore traffic laws and drive much more aggressively this sort of driving is much more dangerous on country roads because people can cross into the other lane to pass and get in a head-on collision and possibly kill the other driver as well as themselves. I have seen at least one collision caused by this sort of driving near my cottage because one drive went to pass in the opposite lane without the appropriate amount of space there for killing themselves in the collision. This sort of driving can be minimized by leaving early enough to get there even if there is traffic or other slowdowns and if you are getting frustrated pull over to a gas station or something and get out to take a little walk.
The traffic problem in Atlanta drains both time and money for thousands. It has been shown that Atlanta drivers spend on average 51 unnecessary hours behind the wheel each year (WSB Radio, 2013). That’s more than two 24 hour days spent sitting in traffic. During all this time spent, Atlantans end up spending upwards of $1000 per year on gas and collectively use 63,000,000 gallons of gas each year while sitting in traffic (WSB Radio, 2013). Traffic in Atlanta has been a huge waste of time and money for Atlantans for years and something needs to be done to alleviate the
After reading “Driving While Stupid,” by Dave Barry, he tells us about some of his experience with seeing bad drivers. Barry uses many old experiences while being in Miami, China, Boston, and Argentina. I agree with this statement because in almost every city I been in the driving was terrible. Everyone, in some way or another, has witnessed people drive very stupid and reckless. Barry indicated that some drivers use insane driving techniques. These include driving very fast, failure of the utilization of headlights at night, and having distractions for the view of the drivers. He says that the drivers do not have a sequence for navigation since some are involved in phone calls, eating, reading, changing CDs, crowd surface makeup, etc. This is a common thing for teens and even adults to be distracted behind the wheel. He drove through various cities where the traffic laws are constantly being violated. For example, has only one traffic law, which is “No driver may ever be behind any other driver.” In his opinion, Miami drivers are the worst drivers that he has ever witness because of the guy who was driving on 1-95. He was watching videos on his phone and was clearly not paying attention to the road or any other drivers. This does not only affect him but also the other people around him. He was not be cautious of the road and putting his and others lives in danger.
Hous·to·ni·an, a native resident of Houston, Texas. This term is popular in more states than Texas. There’s a saying that “Everything is bigger and better in Texas. Houston is the fourth largest city in America behind Nevada and ahead of New Mexico. Now that is big. People that are born in Texas are natives, and therefore Houstonian. There are several races that call Houston home like Hispanics, Asians, Blacks and Europeans. There is also a refugee population in Houston from places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia. However, any person that lives in the culture and experiences the culture to the extent that they consider themselves native can also be called a Houstonian. Houstonian is not a term. Houstonian is a way of life, a culture, and an identity.

Left turns on red between one-way streets are allowed in some states but not others. In some states it's normal to go 10-15 miles per hour over while in other states you will get pulled over very fast. Right and left turns on red are aloud in only certain states. There are so many law that differ between states. The basic standards such as turn signals, and driving in the right lane, stay the same from state to state. The only place in the US with left-hand driving is the US Virgin Islands. (Quora) If the Government stepped in and made all laws uniformed between states it would make the people more eager to travel. Having to learn the laws of each state when your traveling across states is a handful and should not be expected. The laws are almost identical for automobiles under most conditions. There is a general variation between the east and the west for free right turns. This is where you are turning right, after stopping, at red signal light. In the east this is permitted IF you have a sign that says that you can, otherwise you wait for the green. In the west the opposite is true. If there is no signage that tells you to not do it (no turn on red), then it's
Traffic is a very hard thing to travel through, especially when there are no traffic lights. Traffic lights are very important. Chelsea is lacking in that department at certain places,
The right-of-way for South Carolina emergency response vehicles is a law that should be followed by all South Carolina citizens. However, some citizens ignore or do not realize that by law they need to pull to the right side of the road when an emergency response vehicle is coming towards them.The deaths due to emergency responders responding to a call could decrease if citizens would move to the right. Possible deaths could occur in the back of an emergency vehicle or outside of them while at the scene of a medical crisis. The individual could be in really bad condition and any time delay could be due to people not moving to the right. Therefore, a wreck could occur still, and the emergency responders could get hurt, or the person in the wreck could be at risk of death. Deaths outside of the emergency vehicles are a high risk due to the size of the truck, and the time it takes just for the emergency trucks to come to a complete stop. Many people just ignore the law and think that the emergency responders only “run code” just so they
