Ordinary bald cypress on the left, pond cypress on the right. There are literally dozens of bike racks sprinkled across the new streets and trail system.

Yes. Asphalt peels relatively easily and there are contractors that have large road-sized heaters that roll over the roadway and melt the tar for easier removal. The photos above are after the roadway had been scraped for a re-paving project that's going on right now. Brick roads built here more recently are atrocious examples of crappy engineering. The Washington roundabout is easily the best "worst" example of what can happen. In the instance of Jensen, those area roads have been there for 100 years and are in relatively great shape.

Thought it was interesting to see there's brick under Jensen Drive. I sorta wish they would just take the asphalt off and restore the brick!

Went last night and had a blast even with the rain. Saw Tenet and had no issues with the viewing. They had 2 food trucks and a couple of other vendors, plus the New Potato setup. Maybe there was just an off night last weekend?

I believe you appear to have overlooked the downtown, Washington Avenue, Montrose, River Oaks, Rice Village, Rice Military, Heights, Woodland Heights and Galleria areas.... Or that the larger of the two projects is in an oversupplied "blue" zone. HTH

This is a hollow argument. The presented "choices" aren't binary.

There are a variety of ways to achieve affordable living availability - concentrating it all in one spot creates as many issues as it seeks to solve. Integrate the same number of affordable units a few at a time into multiple market-rate complexes and the concerns would evaporate. City elders are taking a lazy approach and the existing community and future residents will both suffer for it in the long term.

To be clear, the two proposed projects are distinctly different tenant profiles. South of the bayou is getting the shaft.

There's a gondola line in Portland that connects the waterfront to their medical campus up on a hilltop overlooking the city. Beats installing a funicular.
