It seems the Planning Commission approved the Variance Request today, allowing the connection of Koehler Street to 2nd Street. Interestingly, the Commission noted that the original plan for Houston Heights intended for 2nd Street to extend over to Yale. So the argument that this development is part of the Heights had an effect on the Planning Commission in that they followed the historical intent of the developers of the Houston Heights. They also noted that the Walmart itself is not in the original footprint of Houston Heights. http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/maps/images/map0435.jpg I'll bet that kinda stings to those who used the Heights argument to oppose this thing.

Angry Bungalow Owner. It's like an AWP, but they try to impose their way on everyone else.

Perhaps you won't mind going back through the posts that s3mh has made and cite some credible references to back up the claims being made.

Midtown residents don't even want to use the train. I tried it for 3 days to get to work downtown. I was the only Midtown resident using it. The train is merely a way for vagrants to come into the area and ask for money. Nobody even pays to use the train. Every time I used the train to get downtown, I was the only one that paid! It's $2 (if you are honest) and you have to sit there and wait 10 minutes for it. Then it takes another 10 minutes to reach your destination if you work in the Theatre District. Why not get in your car and drive for 5 minutes and park downtown. It's faster and depending on your company's parking situation, it's cheaper. God knows it's a lot safer! The best thing for Midtown would be to tear up the train stop at McGowen and let it go by.

s3mh is not a troll.
