"I don't think Houston is a city that was designed to be evacuated. It's just not feasible"

Such an interesting contrast to this frontpage post yesterday:

"The highways themselves were specifically intended to facilitate the reasonable objective of Houstonians not to get annihilated by a nuclear blast...[In] case of atomic attack on our key cities, the road net must permit quick evacuation of target areas"

(Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24331698)

So one might ask, if all these highways don't even permit quick transit, what the heck are they doing?
