Does an Aggie grad need a car in Houston?

Quick answer

Grant generally recommends a car for most Aggie grads in Houston. Some Inner Loop pockets are walkable and transit can help in specific situations, but the metro is spread out and work, friends, groceries, airports and weekend activities can require driving. His strategy is usually to choose a central neighborhood that reduces unnecessary driving rather than assume a car can be eliminated entirely.
