    ^ "Irrational exuberance" From the WaPo article: "Roughly 87 percent of new office space is expected to open vacant, according to data from the commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield." 😬

    Fun </s> story about this shot. I was standing on the sidewalk on Main while shooting this. There's a fence with limited access points around that parking lot. While the drone was still above the lot, I started walking toward the entry point underneath the mural. I was looking right at (and walking directly toward) some guy screaming at someone who was in, or in front of, the restaurant in that building on the right. As I'm walking in the direction of the opening in the fence, I hear someone shout "Don't do it!" and the guy starts shooting at the person he was screaming at. 😮 He then runs across the northbound lane of Main Street and continues shooting from the platform at Preston Street Station. Needless to say I decided the entrance behind me and around the corner on Prairie Street might be a better choice. All this time my drone is still hovering over the lot while telling me it's about to land because the battery was low. If it had landed on its own, it would have gone back to its "home point," which was back on Main Street. 😬 I could have stopped it from doing so, of course. Anyway, after I got the drone back on parking lot terra firma and in its bag, there were Houston and Metro Police SUVs circling all the blocks in that area at high speed trying to find the guy.

    The weather wasn't very cooperative during my last two trips to Houston. Most of these are panoramas. A few aren't.

    I don't disagree with you, but I think it should be remembered that much of what is found in the "great urban centers" is geared toward tourists.

    😆 at the private message I just received.

    OK. This works.

    Your response really should be directed to rechlin, not me.

    Massive fines? I wish that were the case. Copyright enforcement for photographers, especially hobbyists, is nigh on impossible. Uptown Houston Association stole a photo of mine of the Post Oak Christmas "trees," used it without attribution on their social media sites, then totally ignored me when I called them out on it. Facebook and Instagram could not have cared less, either. I agree that the deleted photos should not be reposted. But then, I also think the photographer in question should not flout FAA regulations when flying his or her drone in both controlled and uncontrolled airspace. But that's just me, I suppose. At least on this forum.

    Is there not a moderator who can delete these posts?

    Well, at least the owners of those white townhouses across the street have good views out the back after the developer illegally cut down trees that were not even on their property.

    Welp... There goes the neighborhood! 😄 (I lived on the corner of Peden and Stanford for years starting in the late 80s).

    I lived in a studio apartment in 4102 Caroline in 1985. This will be the second of my old apartments to be torn down. The first, which was also my first Montrose apartment, was on W. Alabama at Mulberry near the Menil.
