  1. 70 specialty stores and boutiques and at least 3 department stores.
  2. That would be great, and quite pratical. It's a shame that we are losing one of the few viable options to shop at not only Downtown but along the lightrail routes that will be constructed for the forseeable future. I wish the MD or the city could've worked out some sort of financial incentives to keep them open, at least until a new location downtown could be determined.
  3. I'll add to that list Washington D.C., there downtown isn't really the most intriguing. Downtown Dallas, Los Angeles, even Miami.
  4. I got to view the webinar. It seems to me that this will be Houston's newest edge city. I can't say that this is really a good thing. They also tout that this is infill. I don't quite by that. They are also banking on the northline light rail being extended out there, I think that is an inappropriate mode for such a far out local. Commuter rail would be the best option. All in all the development could be much worse, however what makes this "less" sustainable in my eyes is the far flung location, the constant chatter about the Grand Parkway (let's face it, that doesn't qualify this development as transit oriented), and the lack of transit to be with, it also appears to be rather insular. Anyway, it could be worse, but I'm not sure that that makes it good.
  5. There really should be some revision of the parking ordinance for the inner loop.
