Quick evacuation requires expanding the interstate highway system. Something Smart Growthers oppose. They also are trying to get individuals out of their personal cars.

Since the buses were allowed to remain parked, the city had a s****y evacuation plan.

What's wrong with converting all the inbound lanes of existing interstates into outbound lanes all the way to the Houston or eventually the Trans-Texas corridor? Nobody is using the inbound lanes anyway.
