Regent Square: Mixed-Use On Allen Parkway At Dunlavy St.
arbpro replied to Travel_n_Transport's topic in Going Up!
"Grip?" Yeah, I've got a grip on reality. The reality that this board is dedicated to "discussing new and proposed projects" going up in Houston. And the reality that some just can't control their impulse to spew political opinion under the misguided belief that it will be impactful.- 1,520 replies

Wider sidewalks? Nonsense. A 2021 poll of Harris County residents found that the issues of concern were crime, flooding, failing public schools, homeless, traffic congestion, access to health care. There was not any mention of the need for wider sidewalks. Well, except from you.

"Urban dream?" Yeah, I guess that's why the people who actually live there are leaving. Good grief.

Then you should have no issue with me offering my opinion. Apparently only those who say "don't even bother to build it" are "playing nicely."

OK, well here's my opinion. If someone doesn't approve of how a property is being developed by the owner, that someone needs to buy it and then let's see what they do.

You guys sure like to tell other people how to spend THEIR money. Maybe they should do a critique on where you choose to spend YOUR money?

When this first broke I told you it would never happen. A few said I was delusional, that UT was boss and what it wants, it gets. Well, how did that work out? And even now, you continue to miss the point. There was NO objection to UT having a "research facility" but when renderings were leaked disclosing athletic facilities and diverse campus facilities, the true motive for the site was obvious. What was objected to was UT intending degree programs already offered by another public university. That constituted a waste of taxpayer funds and the motive therefor could only be to dilute the strength of the other public university. So if you are going to complain, be relevant.

You are in error. The school has long wanted a medical school. When the idea was finally facing fruition, the University considered all options, including the TMC. When it was decided that the focus would be on primary care for an underserved area, the TMC option was no longer viable. The school then proceeded with its business plan idea which had the side benefit of allowing the medical school to be near the main campus. Apparently you think that was a bad idea. What you are really saying is that you think having a medical school dedicated to primary care in a need location is a bad idea.

The emphasis is on providing primary care to an underserved area. I don't believe the TMC could be viewed as underserved.

“I think the governor is a reasonable person and astute enough to know you don’t put the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Oilers in the same stadium." lol Houston Oilers? Something tells me that with this guy making the case of why the relocation should not take place, that TMC gets a little bigger.
