It's not an ugly building but my midtown fantasy is for Midtown to be Houston's version of Barcelona's  Eixample.

Just a see of mainly midrises. Mainly residential,  very eclectic. 

 

Mid Main, Match etc is on the right track, but man new buildings like those two CVS buildings are just blows to my dream.

Looks like currently there is an office-over-parking buidling, with a parking lot across Fannin.  So this won't be replacing a vacant lot, but it will be more activity on Fannin which will be nice

I don't think this was an office. I think that used to be a bath house.

Eh, interesting mix... https://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Braun-Enterprises-signs-retailers-at-new-Midtown-12498772.php

Braun said it has landed Verizon, Title Boxing Club and a location of the barber shop chain Bishops as initial tenants in its upcoming Midtown redevelopment.

Braun Enterprises has just over 1,000 square feet of retail space still available for lease and is targeting coffee shops or upscale cocktail bars.

Major renovation is underway, with a fence around the site. Building looks completely gutted and all windows have been removed.

This is the former Midtown Spa.
The building was windowless, so holes have been cut through the exterior walls to provide them. It also contained a large swimming pool, which I assume has been decommissioned.

Unfortunately Bishops Barber Shop was broken into not once, not twice, but three times in one day.

I am tired, very tired, of those in society who make a choice to steal from the hard working to support what is likely the lifestyle of an addict.

 

i would be supportive of a “one chance” policy for non-violent offenders.they have one chance to commit a crime and go into rehab.    Everybody might make a non-violent mistake once and I would also make all burglaries a felony.  A second conviction for a non-violent felony means a prison farm for 30-years with an option for parole after 20.  Bye bye, society is done with you.  Go grow some carrots.

If the objective is to strongly discourage B&E/burglary/theft, the DA should hold a press conference and announce that henceforth a homeowner or business owner who shoots an individual caught in the act of burglary will automatically be no-billed.

Wow. Can you imagine the size of the prisons, the size of the population inside those prisons and freaking amount of money that it'd cost to do to maintain them?  Not to mention the quality of those coming out the other end, and how many they would be.

Yep.  Sad no matter how you slice it.

 

Seemingly, the only other choice to mine, other than the status quo (which to me is unacceptable) is the choice written by Mkultra above.  And that is equally unacceptable to me.  The right of the people (including businesses) to protect their property needs to win the day.  With my plan, Addicts get ONE chance at fixing themselves at taxpayer expense.  A deep, intensive rehab program to get them straight, sober, and working members of society.  If they fail at that, Thereafter, the taxpayer can build some tents and a fenced farm and the addicts can hoe carrots for 30 years.

DA can't no-bill anyone, that's the job of the Grand Jury. All homicides(which means any killing of a person, including justified incidents) must be presented to a Grand Jury in Texas.

 

It's already legal to use deadly force to protect your property, and during the hours of darkness, you can use deadly force to stop criminal mischief, which includes things like stealing hubcaps.

 

Burglary of any building is a felony, the type of building varies the level of felony.
