I thought maybe this was the case, but I didn't want to speculate too hard because I wasn't certain on the exact rules. But I don't think I've ever seen them really comment beyond "thank you" or to ask a clarifying question, no matter what the comment was. It really does show pure ignorance on Redditors' parts. What, do they want them to bar certain people from being allowed to comment? I mean...

I take any and everything posted on Reddit with a massive grain of salt. I need to watch this board meeting to understand the context (And I've been so busy I haven't gotten around to it...), but it sounds like OP of that Reddit thread heard some anti-transit groups making comments on the floor at the meeting, the METRO board didn't reply to them, and so now s/he's extrapolating that to mean that the METRONext projects are in danger because the board's "silence [on the comments] speaks volumes". People are over there getting whipped up into a massive frenzy and you get the usual regurgitated Reddit talking points/ unhelpful sarcasm in the comments, and anyone with common sense gets buried in the hysterics. š¤¦āāļø

Well, that's interesting. Whereabouts on the roof will this be? I wonder if it has any connection to the potential hotel?

Where are you reading about these studies? That's really interesting to hear about a University BRT expansion, but it makes sense, since the current plan is to go all the way to Westchase. Trying to ascertain things from Ft Bend Transit is tough, because their online presence isn't very good. They (Ft Bend) have talked about a P&R in Cinco Ranch area on Westpark/1093, though, but that was a couple of years ago.

Ohhhh. I definitely agree with what you're talking about, @__nevii. I remember for years and years people trashed Houston's lack of zoning- it was not seen as an enlightened, good, progressive thing to do. It was downright denigrated. Heck, even up until pretty recently, I'd see otherwise "urbanist"-leaning people on places like Reddit slam Houston's mixing of uses showcased our squashed-in SF townhouses next to commercial buildings as if it were some kind of...problem? Like...what is the issue with it? "It's ugly"? Who cares? It's not like it's gonna be there forever- give it 20 years and a whole neighborhood can radically change here, but is that really a problem? People buy them, and they keep getting built, so there must be something there that's working. I don't want to be inflammatory or necessarily prescribe malice where there may be none at all, but sometimes I wonder if it's some sort of prejudice- whether it's on the basis of class or race or whatever. Surely it's not just because we're in Republican-Red Texas, because as you've mentioned, Austin doesn't get the same level of denigration, and everyone knows cities generally tend to lean some shade of Blue no matter where they are (with some exceptions). So, what gives?

@asubrt Those are definitely my favorite three at POST. I am really excited to see Golfstrommen do its buildout on the rooftop. My husband has tried every single restaurant at POST (not me, though...I'm not quite so adventurous) and these are his three favorites, too. @editor You should give ChĆ²pnblį»k a try! I really like them a lot, but I'm all-in on things like curries and the like. I think they want to be a very casual introduction to West African fare, at least that's been my impression of them. They were doing samples for a while there, I'm not sure if they still do. It's how they got me hooked on it. :)

I like to reply to political spammers and really get them going. Sometimes thereās a real person so you can get some entertainment out of it. Iām pretty sure I pissed someoneās election campaign off, though, because I get near-constant spam calls now rofl.

I donāt know what leg the AG thinks he can stand on here because from what it sounds like, her case falls under the life/substantial bodily harm exception (because of the likely impact to her fertility). It seems fairly cut and dry to me. What a tragic situation for her and her familyā¦

Iām curious to know how Lyric is doing, speaking of food halls. I always like the way they do their lighting displays. It seems theyāve have at least some turnover, but I donāt know how many of their current concepts are original from when they first opened. Definitely it has a different atmosphere and vibe compared to POST, and the two are fairly close, distance-wise.
