(that's why I invested in the Heights!).

If you want your investment to grow you should be supportive of this plan.  If the heights becomes another strip mall centric Katy then your 900sqft bungalow won't net you as much profit.

Was this the same sight where the street was sold to Grocers?  If I remember correctly, at that time I believe they argued they needed it for their business operation.  It seems they probably needed that land connection to make the place more marketable to developers! 

 

The Heights Mercantile proposal could actually work very nicely in this location, as opposed to 7th/Heights.

Yes, lets put a walk-able style development in a place where you can barely even get to by car, let alone by foot.  Good plan.

I wouldn't mind if they tore down the Kroger and put a half way decent replacement in.

Can't someone with a Quad Copter get a good shot?

Oh boo hoo.  Emergency vehicle problems? Give me a break, 7th street is more than wide enough for cars parked on both sides and I never have a problem finding space along the street for parking at Revival and Gelazzi.  Two great local businesses that add a lot to the community.  Sorry that you don't own the parking in front of your house, people park in front of mine all the time, I don't get upset because that's their right and there is plenty of space.

Coltivare is the single greatest restaurant addition to the Heights in years, I hope it stays in business for a long time.  I'm glad it has ample space inside and out because it didn't need a 20 car parking lot.  I personally walk there, but if I lived nearby I'd be happier about being so close to great food than bitching all the time about customers parking around the neighborhood.

Houston needs more great places to eat along its walkable streets and I can't think of a better place for them.

Recent progress, I'll get a better one later, about two floors done of the parking garage still. The dilapidated Mango Beach and 'Little Buddy' still standing proud next to it.
