That the things I don't like if your going to do something like this do it to give the area more pop ,don't just do it for ncaa or superbowl and after just go back to to the norm..start doing for Houston

Seriously place been opened a few weeks, most of these places grow by word of mouth

I look at 801 everyday and think why hasn't it been redeveloped. ..happy dance

Isn't he the guy spearhead the 2017 superbowl?

I remember all this delicate flower and moaning when the original redesign for jw was release..hell I remember when we saw the final redendeeing.and people were complaining, turns out to have been better in person than a mock up can accuracy relay. .so when it comes to redoing old building I learn to wait and see how it translate in the real world

Second ignore the vast difference in the DT population then vs now

Yea thinking I'm just going to make the trek to the 102. ..the 6 for me is just a massive waste of time..maybe it works for others thou.

Shame really were the 102 use to drop me off right in front of my apt at night now I'm have to walk thou , a bunch of dealers , and gangs

I stay in greenpoint were I once caught the 102 and could be downtown in about 30 mins the new route (6). Takes well over a gr now..

My mom who lives in third ward and works in Sunnyside. .once caught 1 bus now needs two and has to walk half a mile.

My aunt who once had to catch 2 bus now needs 3..

Hearing Simiar stories from regular rider

The new hotel on Dallas will also have GFR retail.

But ar least the expansion of the bar/social scene continues to expand. .here hoping retail can follow a similar path ..It just takes one or two business to have the balls to take a chance. . Like they okra and others did on main

I knew that subway was doom..who open a subway a block from another subway?

Not so sure if they are thinking office, I think they will wait, if the are thinking residential then I think they will wait to see how the current project fairs, if it lease fairly quickly, then they will be aggressive. .one think about Hines they don't seem to focus on the current state of the market as much as the others if they did 609 would have been put on hold like so many plan towers

I.think the original design for the alexdessra.. would fit great here

I've seen it up close..you could actually jump the distance

The problem the city shut off the fountain hoping it would cause the homeless to flock elsewhere. .it didn't work

I'm serious I think we should petition the city city to rename the ball park district, balk park village at this rate

So are they saying they have a abandoned the two tower concept in place of one..that fine with me if it gets this thing going

Good for them..midtown slowly coming together. .now if only sears would remove that bullshit fad

The the subway shop next to the hearsay is available (seriously a subway just a block from another sub way, what the hell were they thinking? )

I have been saying we need to target more middle class, police, nurse, etc.. this is not NYC not everything need to he 1700 one bed room

Just think about not just Ellington but the development for the surrounding area

Now the term game changer gets thrown around alot on here but this is a genuine. Game changer

I have more faint in Hines building something than I do any of the other developers.Hines has should the balls to take a risk on Houston more than the others

They could create the biggest pool in the nation. .lol

The homeless is a three tier problem

1)The mental ill

2) The down on their luck

3) The no longer give a bleep

The first one can only legal be detain till they are no longer a threat to themselves or the public. .other words once their meds kick in..the problem being homeless their is no mechanism to ensure they ither re up on their meds or even take them to begin with. .they are the most tragic of the three because it truly not their fault.

The second are just as I stated down on their luck..they are the one who bother me the least. .plus they prefer to Barter ( Wash your car, cut your grass..etc)most times they leave you alone and ask that you do the same.

The last group is my least liked..they have thrown in the towel on life and prefer to lounge around all day using what little money they get to get drunk or high..They rather sit in their own filth than use the free services like the community center showers (which are open to the homeless from 600 to 700)..they sit around waiting for the other free services to open ( church serving breakfast, homeless shelter serving lunch, etc).This group I dispise. They don't care about themselves or their surrounding and trash out whole areas
