  1. Hopefully it will forward with it's next hotel phase (a renovation of an existing hotel), if it hasn't already started. Otherwise, there are quite a few apartments under construction here. Pretty amazing how big this development has gotten.
  2. Great to see the removal of all those invasive vegetation species.
  3. I'd imagine quite a few construction workers that were lured into the more lucrative oil patch will return to construction while oil prices are down.
  4. A kick in the nuts but a large parking garage would make mid town a more attractive place to eat and party for suburbanites. Still plenty of blocks available for redevelopment around this location.
  5. Affordable housing is directly north of downtown and there is still some on the east side, although you'll have to go further east. As far as affordable housing in the loop, I would prefer to see a greater interest in college housing along the rail. I like this initiative because it concentrates development, which is a big reason why Houston doesn't seem to have urban continuity but pockets.
  6. I do enjoy this type of plan, convert it to some sort of park/flexible use with Texans and HLSR. I don't think it necessarily needs to be completely indoors as we can go a lot of different ways with the Astrodome as the centerpiece.
  7. There are still affordable places, they are just shifting. I think Westheimer, if nurtured properly, could become populated and offer an alternative to inside the loop. I have quite a few friends that live alongside or very close to Westheimer, there are lots of apartments especially at interesections like Fondren, HIllcroft, Gesnner, Wilcirest, Diary Ashford that were once lower income and now being refurbished for under 1000k per month for a 1 BR.
  8. Great news. I wish more of these non-profits and quasi-governmental groups would share the same building.
  9. So wait, where is Mid Main office/garage going up relative to this? edit: Nevermind. However, Mid Main will take up two total blocks with office and residential?
  10. This. I don't think inner city public golf courses make much sense in the inner city. I wish they would convert it to several baseball fields, soccer fields, and tennis/bball if there's room. Be awesome to have more youth and adult sports leagues.
  11. Sigh. I understand funding is a big issue for this but I wish we could do better with our parking solutions for our marque park.
  12. Midtown TIRZ FTW! Makes Montrose TIRZ looks like a pile of incomptent/corrupt crap.
  13. I would like more public-private partnerships with parking garages among the TIRZs along the Main St line. Houstonians who visit downtown will still need a place to park as surface lots make way for better use.
  14. It looks the park is half the lot when including both sides, is that so and was that always meant to be?
