According to an article in the Galveston Daily News yesterday, it appears that the League City planning commission is split on a planned La Quinta Inn. It appears that protests, again form Victory Lakes residents, are the reason. Some statements by the residents include accusing La Quinta of attracting truck drivers as customers, and that truck drivers drink beer late at night to entertain themselves. Another residents claims that La Quinta will attract patrons of nearby Heartbreakers to continue their entertainment skills. Some are threatening to move. OMG!
These are the same whiny babies that objected to WalMart and UTMB building next to their neighborhood. Am I being too critical?

Apparently in League City, La Quinta is Spanish for “not in my backyard.”
Sixteen residents of the Victory Lakes subdivision Monday protested the hotel proposed for a site along Gulf Freeway, arguing the 64-room hotel would attract undesirable characters, including sex offenders and hard partying blue-collar workers and amplify the neighborhood’s growing traffic problems.
They called the proposed hotel the latest in a long line of disappointments wrought by Victory Lakes developer Roy Mease.
Mease turned what was supposed to be an upscale suburb and high-end offices into a hub for big box retailers, fast food restaurants and hotels, Victory Lakes residents claimed.
“I’m opposed to these hotels,” resident John Calebrese said. “It’s just another step in the wrong direction of the promises made to the original homeowners of Victory Lakes ... (The subdivision) is nothing like what was promised.”
But Mease said the subdivision, with its 14 big box retailers, brings in an “ungodly amount” of sales tax revenue for League City. There is no reason to oppose a hotel plotted for land far away from any Victory Lakes homes, he said.
