    I had assumed they meant owner-occupied apartments, but now that I reread, I bet you're right. Being that we're not in NY, they'd probably call them condos or townhouses if they weren't rentals. I would think that they'd have to charge fairly steep rents to keep the apartment population from detracting from the retail environment. I feel pretty confident that things will be well-maintained because La Centerra will lose its retail tenants if it goes downhill. Nonetheless, I would also prefer owned units to rentals.

    Thanks for posting this. Do you have the link to the website where it's located? I was wondering if I could get a larger blow-up of the picture since some of the retailer names are difficult to read.

    The proposed list of tenants looks great. I would LOVE to have a Williams-Sonoma nearby. The clothing shops would be great additions as well. You haven't heard anything about a Harold Powell opening have you? It would seem to fit well with the other retail. That is also great news about the Chuy's and additional restaurants. It looks like Katy's dining options are really starting to expand. Any word on what the specialty grocery will be?

    Thanks for the link. This is great news! It looks like the retail space will almost double. I wonder what additional shops are planned...

    I read that it was a self-inflicted wound. This is so terribly sad. I am glad that at least no other students were harmed. Has anyone heard any more details on the student's condition and what may have triggered him (assuming it was a boy) to do this?

    It would also be great to have a Williams-Sonoma nearby.

    Trae, I'm interested in what you experienced at the school. I had always heard good things about it (test scores, Blue Ribbon, etc.) but I haven't heard many first-hand experiences.

    Currently the nearest Catholic grade schools are John Paul II and Cardinal Newman. Both are prek-8th grade and are located in the Briarforest & Eldridge area. John Paul II is the more established of the two. It was started by the same group that later started John XXIII high school. I believe there is also another Catholic elementary/jr high somewhere near north Highway 6. I agree that it would be great to have more private schools in Katy. In the meantime, at least Eldridge is not too terribly far by Houston standards.

    The problem with low-income housing is that it is not well-maintained, increases crime, and lowers property values. There are few residents eager to add an unsafe eyesore to their area.

    I don't think Hickory Creek (the neighborhood near Seven Meadows) is what was meant by "low income housing." While the neighborhood is not as upscale as Seven Meadows, a quick glance at har.com shows its homes are listed in the low to middle $100s. That is hardly the same thing as the projects. Also, I understand that everything doesn't have to look like Cinco Ranch, but is the shabby look of parts of Mason really such a great alternative? In a perfect world, everything would be nice AND unique, but in the meantime I'd take upscale cookie-cutterness over a run-down hodge-podge.

    I can't understand why low-income housing would be wanted. I don't see how the transformation of south Katy into the ghetto is anything to be desired. That said, I would like the following: Pappadeaux and Pappasitos Romano's Macaroni Grill More restaurants in general Better retailers in a nicer setting (something along the lines of Town & Country, etc.--hopefully some of the planned projects will take care of this) I'm relatively happy with the landscaping in the Cinco Ranch/south Grand Parkway area. The overall area of Mason closer to I-10 could use some revitalization though.

    I really don't feel upscale retail would put us in danger of being the next Sharpstown. One finds nice retail and restaurants in affluent suburbs everywhere and they do not all subsequently become ghettos.
