      Chaos at Heights Hospital

      By s3mh · Posted

      Pretty tone deaf to exercise a lockout remedy on a hospital during a pandemic.  But I also do not understand why the hospital didn't go into bankruptcy to get a stay (haven't checked PACER, though).  I am hearing that the owners are allowing some access to the building, but it does not look good for the hospital.     https://abc13.com/houston-lawmakers-fighting-to-reopen-heights-hospital-closed-during-pandemic-owners-owe-millions-in-rent-documents-show/9820845/

      Electric Scooters Sharing

      By samagon · Posted

      the city owns the land, it is managed by a private partnership.  https://www.discoverygreen.com/history-of-discovery-green#:~:text=Discovery Green exemplifies a successful,operates and maintains the park. it is a public park, public land at least. not that it makes a difference in the context of what the security guards can/can't do to people riding scooters, or bicycles, but I'm fairly confident that the rules exist to make it harder for a person to take legal action against the conservancy should a cyclist run over a kid. anyway, I've been riding my bike in and around discogreen since it opened and I've never had a security guard approach me about riding through the park, and there have been plenty of opportunities for them to do so.  I have had a security guard approach me about taking photos in the park with my phone, which he said I wasn't allowed to do. which is where the distinction of public land is important, even if it is managed by a private party. I stopped, but I told him he should ask his manager for better guidance on how to not violate the constitution. this was very early in the parks life, and I haven't been approached since. I doubt my experience was what had them adjust their enforcement. I'm sure someone else took a bit more of an aggressive response than I did.
