Moving to Houston Area and have a few ?’s

[leVieux]

I wish I didn't now this from personal experience. It's definitely something to keep in mind.

When we moved from Houston to Louisiana back in ‘08, our auto insurance almost tripled.

Having lived much of our lives in TX, with a few years in FL, the total state tax burden in FL, TX, & LA is about the same; with LA having Income tax but much lower property taxes & slightly lower sales taxes.

Appreciate the info but I’ve been here since December. Rayford and 99 works the best for our commute. My office is in Conroe and my wife’s office is of Airtex.

My comments were meant in general. It is still a good idea to learn of alternate commute timing & routes.

Houston can be plagued with street flooding, massive auto wrecks, sports event traffic jams, etc. so alternates come in very handy.

Good luck on a smooth transaction, and congrats on the new digs!

Pack your patience, getting on 99 from the south side is a whole different animal than the north. Sometimes its just better to jump on the east bound feeder and make the U-turn down at Imperial Promenade.

If it’s that bad I may run up 1314 to my office. I’m in a month to month rental in Wrights landing now. I go birmham woods to Aldine/Benders to rayford to 45 now.

I believe the future of most commuting urbanites & suburbanites is the mandated staggering of work-hours schedules.

That, plus mixing office time with work-from-home arrangements

There are great advantages to businesses, individual workers, and to their urban home cities in the staggering of worker schedules.

Longer hours covered with no cost increase, less traffic congestion, less time in traffic, better utilization of facilities, increased employee morale, etc.

In my profession, we quickly learned that some classes of workers need to be in earlier than others, as their duties involved preparation of facilities, attending to overnight problems, and “bringing-up’’ certain types of equipment which need “warm-up’s” & calibration. It then made sense that most of those should also get-off earlier, so the total hours worked didn’t change.
