  4. Works out to $2450/mo, which, after 13 months, kicks up to $3250, which is more than PITI on a $500,000 house. I understand the strategy of offering free rent instead of just lowering the rate to $2450: no one values the apartment more than the person living in it (there are costs associated with moving). But I wonder how many people move out after the lease is up. I wonder if you can negotiate a diplomatic clause into one of those leases.

  6. Most if not all of the street level columns are up now, you can get a feel for the street level scale of the building. It's going to be pretty big and engaging with the whole tunnel access thing,

  8. I was imagining that the area between all the office buildings and the baseball stadium would never fill in, but it's done now. There's still some really great lots that are just surface lots that will go very quickly in the next round of action.

  10. I spoke with my girlfriend that sets rent pricing(not Houston market). She said "Under ideal situations you offer concessions(free rent) before a sale. In the Houston market it's probably due to rent projections during funding and matching what the competition is doing."

  13. Now who's playing dishonest word games? I can tell you for a fact, that the road was expanded less than 10 years ago to alleviate traffic. Today it is on a top 10 list of worst traffic in the state. You think it's better than it was. You imagine the old alignment with today's traffic (you have to assume the people making that traffic would have located along the corridor and not somewhere else). Maybe we'd be having a discussion about all the new condos in and around Montrose because more people want to live near the city and not along the katy freeway and all that traffic, and the city would be forced to build some serious fixed guideway transit options. Maybe downtown would have kept more energy business rather than it fleeing to the katy corridor, and more buildings would be going up downtown. We can't guess how this town would have evolved differently over the last 10 years had the freeway not been expanded, we can only state what we know as fact. I-10 it is top 10 worst in Texas less than 10 years after having been reconstructed to alleviate traffic.

  14. Seriously, 288/69/59 between Elgin and McGowen seems like it'd be a no brainer. How many soccer or baseball fields could you add to that expanse? Add to that why only cap part of 69 south of Midtown? Why not all the way to Almeda? Why not add in capping 69/59 from Hazard to Montrose as well? If others would have to provide the financing TxDOT might as well "plan" to deck park as much as they possibly could.

  15. Fake news. The light rail killed downtown. Everyone knows that downtown was better in 2001.

  16. Having been in Austin for school in the late 80's/early 90's and with a daughter there now, Houston's DT (dead zones notwithstanding) "feels" more settled and "grown-up". Don't get me wrong, I love Austin's energy and San Antonio's history, and even Dallas' "bling", but imo, the planning (this time) involving downtown incorporates what Houston is about--diversity, industry, good food, and a southern urbanity that is unique to the Bayou City. It doesn't feel like we're trying to copy or compete with other cities, but rather build/create something that is unique and befitting the 4th and soon to be 3rd largest city in the nation.

  18. Wow! What a mess! 1) Why are the Downtown connectors on the present I-45 over Buffalo Bayou +3 lanes? I can't imagine that type of capacity is needed? 2) How on earth are they going to bury the freeway under Main & the other streets? I might be dead by the time they finish it. 3) Why add arches over the already established bridges over the 59/288/45 shuffle? They didn't add any design to help it out (traffic & bottleneck wise)? 4) Good god, the elevated Katy Freeway! The northern interchanges between Hardy/45/59/10 is way too wide. Whom exactly do those I-10 express lanes help? How many commuters on the east side of town travel on I-10 west? Mega homeless camp to be built under it I guess... 5) I suppose the connectors are super long & tall to keep the speeds higher but come on! I was very much supportive of the elimination of the Pierce Elevated but now I take my words back. This is a steaming pile of tax payer money that will not alleviate traffic flow. Bush-era design in this day and age?
