    Cost overruns on an Australian LNG project will make chevron want to move to the burbs? That makes zero sense. One project is many billions and another could never reach that magnitude. Sounds like your well connected friend is speculating to me.

    I've not seen one doomsday forecast for the houston economy. If anything it's the opposite. The "next" energy source is most likely gas. And it's becoming a global commodity. And that will be another economic boon for the houston economy. I would hate to be invested heavily in biofuels right now.

    Ever been to city center? It's almost too packed with people walking around.

    Subway in Houston? You must be new to the conversation.

    Told by who? Someone trying to rent you an apartment long term?

    Without injunctive relief, the project would just move forward anyway and the developer would appeal or settle the jury award.

    I actually saw what looked like a truck doing soil samples at the DT site last week. Could be nothing but would be weird to acquire lots of DT real estate only to build a large XOM style campus in the woodlands.

    Or maybe the poster was trying to point out it's not close to the people it seeks to serve. But don't let me get in the way of the insults. Exclusionary? You just put huge amounts of people (suburbanites into one of your tiny boxes).

    The greyhound station is a dropoff point on your way back from prison. There are undesirable people in the area, not just homeless.

    Enough ROW for emergency vehicles.

    Then the majority probably didn't understand the major risks involved with a tunnel option. I didn't until I actually read about it. People making comments say what they want, but people studying the issue actually know what's feasible and what isn't feasible.

    It's kind of hard to have renderings of 600 acre park without making it cartoonish. Otherwise your renderings would show very little of the overall plan, or you would have way too many of them to really get people interested. I think what I see looks like a good plan.

    Correction - moving to total plaza

    my company has a membership, and they claim to be staying put last time we asked. I don't know how, but that's what they are saying.

    I think I prefer the more spread out uptown view actually.

    Then come up with a plan that isn't asking everyone else to pay for it. If it's so important to all these people, money would be pouring in from preservationists. But it clearly isn't.

    Supposed to be redesigning the lobby to be more open and glass (like the redo of El Paso building is how the leasing manager described to me). I don't remember but may also be trying to redo to make the lobby street level instead of on the 2nd floor in the current layout.

    This group should try to actually visit that course on a Saturday or Sunday morning. When I played golf there you could hear extremely loud music and a girl barking the Fiesta deals of the day through a loud speaker non-stop. It is anything but serene.

    That's why I hate the "community" liberals have created. It usually means a small minority are going to try and bully the masses into what they tell you is good for you. This new concept of community is just an erosion of personal freedom.

    It's a pretty modern building as is. What exactly needs renovation?

    At this point, just the old Texaco building reno is a big win. The additional tower is icing on the cake. I don't think anyone here would have put money on that building surviving five years ago.

    I'm guessing swtsig may be referring to Levey park project?

    It's owned by hildebrand ventures, whose owner also owns rapidly growing Hilcorp Energy.

    . Bad idea. Public golf courses are in such demand and low supply in this town. Just because it doesn't suit you doesn't mean it's not good. That course is always jam packed. I don't care for Shakespeare in the park but that doesn't mean we should take out the sparsely used amphitheater to suit me.

    Just a hunch, but I would suppose the thought is they aren't breaking ground until 1st Qtr 2014, and fencing that much property cost money. They fenced while they had some prelim work going on, but no longer need the fence until real ground breaking. I also don't think an open grass field poses any risk to the general public. This is just my guess. I wouldn't get worried about the project overall.
