(Not actually a) New Subreddit

Hey y’all. An hour or so ago I got control of r/houstonurbanism after a request appeal to get moderation abilities. I’ve tried to make it a bit homely, but of the seventeen members I’m sure most are either dead accounts or forgot about this formerly dead subreddit.

It’s basically what the name says: Houston urbanism. Density, public transit, walkability and bikeability, green spaces like the bayou greenways, etc. Honest to god I’m not one of those people that want to ban all cars, but Houston’s core needs more density and progressive development, especially in the Inner Loop and the surrounding areas.

Someone made a Be Yourself sign

As the title implies, someone made a Be Yourself sign. I either may have missed this from the countless times passing it, or it’s a fairly recent addition.

I unfortunately could not take a picture of it because I passed it while driving, but I do remember what it looks like. It was yellow and blue plastic cups arranged to spell “Be Yourself” in the fencing of an overhead freeway walkway on 610 heading toward the ship channel. I think this was where it was it yall wanna check it out: https://earth.app.goo.gl/KvLofs
