    The actual town center is now gone. It was in Sugar Land, not in First Colony. Does no one else see the ironies in "creating" fake town centers, especially when you kill off the original, authentic ones such as Sugar Land? Simulacra town centers comprised of chain stores and franchises. The "town center" looks no different in Sugar Land from the newly corporately sponsed town center in Disneyland or Virginia..... Further proof the proprietor is no longer the backbone of this country.

    Apparently I did misinterpret your statement, my apologies, Vicman. UH is landlocked as others mentioned and is attempting to use New Urbanism to reconstitute the campus and use land in an efficient but community-oriented way.

    Why should UH leave the "taxpayers alone".....given the state has historically imposed a unequal system of distributing funds to universities.....UT and A&M have hogged taxpayer funds for over a hundred years. I'm surprised UH along with TT and other universities haven't filed a class action against the state for a discrimination of fund allocations. Now, as the most cumbersome and outdated state constitution in the country, the Texas constitution has a built in form of discrimination against all other state colleges and universities (i.e. PUF). And once again, these two colleges and their alumni do their best to continue this tradition. Pathetically egocentric and myopic, given their interests are not on the residents of Texas and Texas as a whole, but the prestige of their own school at the expense of others. Looks like a great building....keep it going UH. With the addition of the University rail line and other major improvements including a substantial housing increase, UH is making a serious statement as to its direction in the upcoming century.

    Well, he has certainly used his personal academic allegiances in tandom with those of his political cronies, to deny UH substantial Tier I funding in recent years. Why would he suddenly cease with his bias MO? Too bad what they want is not what's best for the city of Houston and the state of Texas as a whole, but rather the continued academic hegemony of UT and A&M. It's unfortunate racial and class prejudices still continue today. So, look for any actions of Perry to work for and to the disadvantage of UH or TSU.
