    so now that the garage portion is topped out, should this be picking up a little bit? Isnt it already half way up in terms of height wise?

    Why do you have to push them away? Instead of spending millions tax incentives for housing for big corporation, is it too much to ask for maybe built some more shelter for them?

    one of the best responses in the thread. They need more metro officials imo actually doing work. I always see groups of them standing around not doing shit!

    you're literally out of touch if you dont think theres not a issue. I work in the health care field day in and day out and work with numerous mental health care facilities and own a decent business myself. Theres issues with the homeless/pan handlers that need to be addressed. I am in no way saying lets throw them all in jail or some other bogus, im saying that theres needs to be ways to reform the way we look at them. We need to create more shelters for them so that the ones that really do want want to get help can. As a city we can not continue to look at the homeless people as its not a issue and simply glance past it. Some of these homeless people have serious mental conditions and which law enforcement and others need to be better trained for. We need to have a better law enforcement presence Main like more bicycle cops and better lightening which the above poster said is being addressed. Im not saying that we need to exterminate the homelss or whatever you're trying to twist my words to, im saying its a PROBLEM ON HAND. We as a city can not stop overlooking it. That stretch on main from bell all the way to rusk is the worst stretch after 8pm and ive had buddys who are cops saying theres always numerous robbery and theft but they simply dont have the resources.

    Turner might suprise more people then they know. Spoke with campaign manager last night and was impressed by their vision of the light rail

    If they had a solid proposal I'm sure they could get all sorts of tax incentives bcz Parker wants retail in dt so bad. All it takes is true vision and a different approach and mindset

    If they can do this concept there, why in the world couldnt this work in downtown? Say in Main and bell on those surface lots?
  17. astros148

  18. astros148

    The hideous hampton inn hotel

    thats not a eye sore? Lmao jesus we have the lowest standards out of any city. It literally looks like a detention center. Boring looking, hardly any glass, no real color scheme, thing is straight hideous. Go look at it in person, doesnt fit in with the other buildings at all
  21. astros148
    What is this downtown is packed? Were not talking narket square area or discovery green, greenstreet and main street are hardly EVER packed with people walking.
  22. astros148
    Dude we dont need a 2 story Starbucks at this prime spot. Thats the worst idea ever
  23. astros148
    Yes but its going to be pretty damn hard to "build" up this pedestrian traffic without addressing the issues on hand.

    A php is a partial healthcare program that people with mental illness go to during the day time. This is for patients that do not have a immediate danger to society but need help on a daily basis. The phps have to have licensed therapists and psycratist that have goals and plan of actions for each patient. A person who typically recieves disability usually lives in a personal care home or group home. In these facilities the php sends a van each day to pick up the qualified patients to bring them to the facility. This eliminates the need for transportation to be provided as medicare does not provide payment for transportation. Also the house manager or whoever ensures that each patient is recieves their medicines and all food is supplied as well. If something happens with the patient that is urgent they notify the php. I work with numerous phps and am a partner in a clinic that does "home visits" to these facilitys so I'm well aware of what the process is. There is help out there for people who really need it. The issue is that after paying a potion of your disability to the group home you do not have enough money to buy alcohol and drugs so some street people would rather not go to these places.

    Looks like a federal detention center.
