CWood21 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 @EliteTexan80 it's been forever since I've been to Houston, I'm assuming they're not on a grid system as far as streets go correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL That is going to break everything? Are you ok? thinking clearly here? SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown is. Outside of the loop, it's more spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bednarik60 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Moving things distances is not a problem, example several cities here in Oregon and Washington get all there goods from Portlands port, well over 100+ miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're completely missing the point of this whole discussion. Can we both agree that Houston is a "port city" for all intents and purposes?

Yes, because the Atticks Resevoir isn't wetlands. Or the Brazos Bayou. You know - the two main bodies of water that had 9,000,000,000,000 gallons of water dumped on it in a 36 hour period.

How does a city like Forth Worth, Dallas, San Antonio manage to survive? Cause we put things on trains, trucks, planes and move them. You need ports, but what you don't need is, millions of people living around the ports in Gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because what works in little Portland Oregon is going to work for the largest ship channel in the US, and 13th largest in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just put it on trucks .. its not rocket science. Specially with Tesla and the Auto Industry rolling out automated trucks, it would be very easy. 24/7 automated fleet moving things from Gulf ports to major Texas cities 100 miles away. 21 st century stuff , crazy huh?

Of course. 2nd largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the US, #1 in Medical Center rankings in the US, the top cancer center in the world. But hey, just a port city, right?
