  1. This should be sent to the Urban Land Institute. That is the nonprofit that Judge Emmett has hired to analyze and make recommendations on his park idea. They are going to come back with a comprehensive proposal for the property, and unless the author of the proposal being discussed here (ontheotherhand ?) interacts with that process his/her ideas will be ignored. And just to add one more comment on the ski slope idea, all you who keep pushing this are living in a privilege bubble. You imagine that snow skiing is a mass recreation activity but it is an activity of an elite that can afford to go to real mountains and therefore would not support such a venue here where they would miss out on all of the travel, social activities and landscapes of real ski resorts. There simply are not enough people in Houston or even Texas who would patronize the venue you imagine. By the way, there was an attempt to build a ski slope in Houston many years ago. It was at the southwest corner of the 610W-59S interchange near the Galleria. It failed. Also by the way, my ASTRODOME*TOMORROW proposal has not gone away, despite some of our partners evidently having bailed on such components as a STEM center. My proposal is for a park OUTSIDE, 80 to 100 acres as opposed to 8-9 acres inside. If you've never heard of this proposal, where have you been? Finally, I'm attaching a couple of renderings just to stir up trouble. Park with 100-foot high interior perimeter wall covered in moving projected images of Earth from space, Mars, etc. See for reference: live ISS feed from orbit online as we speak.
