I lived there from '78 to '84."...badly deteriorating infrastructure and horrendous traffic problems"

Sounds like you cribbed the headlines from the Houston Chronicle in 1980.

Funny. I swear I didn’t plagiarize! Didn’t move to Houston until 1985. It was clean and roads pretty well maintained compared to now. Drove down Greenbriar Sunday by Rice University. Surprised they aren’t having a fit about the condition of the street around the school. Now need to have my tires balanced and front end aligned.
