Wow you miss a lot when you take a week off. Just want to throw my two cents in, we are new to the area and have mostly lived in the NE so we are very familiar with historic districts and in my opinion and observations the only good the districts in houston are doing is preventing a large apartment complex from being built next to my house. Other than that i really don't see the point, houston lost its history a long time ago and as long as the new homes and additions look like they fit in then who cares about square footage. I will say i find it interesting how strong the property rights is here, having lived in a lot of places with zoning and strong ordinances we have gotten use to restrictions but i will say i am really enjoying the other side of it.

Just watched the planning commission meeting, preservationists got smoked! Question to Bree, oh sorry, Brie, what did you think of the beat down your "architect" got? Personally, gonna stay as far away from this dude for all future projects....recommend everyone else do the same. Would hate to be this homeowner. If anyone is interested, you can see it for yourself at the 75:55 mark.... http://houstontx.swagit.com/play/07112013-622
