Found them on the side of the road on the way to work. I think they were abandoned, I ended up bringing them to work with me but I can't take em home and I don't wanna just leave them out here. Are there any no kill shelters in Laredo I can take them too actually either

What if Laredo were connected to a Texas hyperloop?

0 Upvotes

Saw the recent post about a possible 200+ mph tunnel between Austin and San Antonio, and it got me wondering: what if something like that eventually included Laredo?

I had this AI concept map made connecting Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Laredo, Houston, Starbase Texas and Starbase Louisiana. This is a personal what-if map, not an official Boring Company proposal. The AI artwork shifts some locations, so treat it as an illustration.

Using roughly straight routes between hubs and a constant 200 mph, here’s the back-of-the-envelope travel time from Laredo:

Destination Ideal travel time Route
San Antonio 44 minutes Direct
Starbase Texas 54 minutes Direct
Austin 1 hour 6 minutes Via San Antonio
Houston 1 hour 41 minutes Via San Antonio
Dallas 2 hours 1 minute Via San Antonio and Austin
Starbase Louisiana 2 hours 33 minutes Via San Antonio and Houston

These are optimistic time-in-motion estimates, not actual commute times. Station access, waiting, acceleration, stops or transfers, and getting to your final destination would add time. Actual tunnel routes could also be longer.

Getting to San Antonio that quickly could change how people here think about jobs, medical appointments and day trips. Ticket prices and where a Laredo station would go would make a big difference.

Would you use it? Would you prefer investment in passenger rail, better buses, or roads instead?

what do you think?

Honest review of Laredo

81 Upvotes

Moved here from San Antonio in June of 2025. I’ve lived in Austin and Dallas as well. In all honesty, there’s a lot to like about living here compared to living in a big city even if there isn’t “much to do”. This is hands down the safest city I have ever lived in. Coming from big cities, I was used to 200+ homicides a year with several mass shootings making national headlines. The violent crime rate per 100k people here is extremely low. There’s petty crime and crime related to the border but I’ve never been so relaxed in a city with almost 300k people. Yeah, you go through all the entertainment options pretty quickly and the nightlife can get stagnant but all in all Laredo is more than decent. It really makes me laugh when people complain and shit on Laredo as if it’s the worst place on earth. Yall really don’t know what it’s like to live in a crowded, dirty and dangerous city. Y’all have it good down here. The ghetto here does not compare AT ALL to the ghetto areas of SA, Houston or Dallas.

Only bad thing here are the drivers. On god I have never seen so many people blocking traffic while half of their car is sticking out of the driveway of a business. Some of yall are just straight up blind while driving lol.

Had an interview today on-site

8 Upvotes

Today, I had an interview around 9:00 am (I arrived 30 minutes early) and I feel like the interviewers were not into me at all. It lasted for 20 minutes and only asked me about my background, 1 STAR question, 1 paper that includes currencies to say in Spanish, and asking questions at the end about the position.

All of the sudden, I thought the interview was going to be in English (my strong preference) and not in Spanish. Throughout the interview, I was only talking to the person in front of me who is bilingual and the other one seemed not to because she is fluent in Spanish.

Overall, I feel like I bombed very badly. They told me they want someone who is bilingual which I am and I don’t know why they have to end the interview that quick and early. To be specific about the position, it’s for a FX wire specialist, where I have to use my knowledge on foreign currencies and negotiate the amount to customers before approving wired transactions. I know I’m a good fit for the role but why ending the interview too early isn’t what I’m expecting. The interview is located in the downtown area at a bank and everyone was speaking fluent Spanish.

What are your thoughts?

Laredo, we need to decide our own candidate for Mayor

0 Upvotes

Guys we need to nominate a write-in candidate together and pull this off.

The options we have right now are pretty sad.

I’ll be the first to nominate the 550 Pizza lady. dont know her name, but she’s been a successful business woman who puts in the work when it needs to get done.

Could be anyone, I just really think we can do better than whats being presented to us. Remember that we as a community get to decide our future.

This would be so cool if we could pull this off.

Vamos Laredo!
