Are there any yimby/urbanism groups in Houston?
I feel like Houston, despite all its problems, has the potential to be a great city. Good job growth. Large and growing population. Several universities in the area (Rice, UH, and TSU).
I think Houston would realize its potential as a great city if it implemented the following changes:
- Add dedicated bike paths and protected bike lanes.
- Widen sidewalks and make crosswalks safer.
- Commuter rail network for commuters from surrounding suburbs (Katy, Sugarland, Cypress, Woodlands, etc.).
- Expand on its Metro bus system.
- Expand on its Metro rail system.
- Stop highway expansions, like they one they are pushing through on i-45.
Are there local yimby groups I can donate to and volunteer for? Or does anyone have experience getting involved with city council meetings and can offer advice on how to get started?
