    Our county leader has been away for a while.

    Awesome news...I can afford to annoy my neighbor weekly!

    At this point, it seems like the best solutions would be to either demolish it and create a green/open/event space or maybe do the proposal where it's open space but with the skeleton of the dome over it.

    For only $200 I might close my street just to annoy my neighbor.

    Apparently, this is just part of an annual competition. Nothing I can see that makes this an actual proposal that might go somewhere.

    Exactly. The Palestinians keep putting their faith in groups like Hamas and go try to fight Israeli tanks and aircraft with rocks and ak-47's. You can rail on about Israel all you want but that hasn't solved anything for the past 80 years and it's not going to solve anything for the next 80 years. The Arab world has woken up to reality and has gotten tired of dealing with the Palestinians which is why they have been making peace with Israel, but not allowing Palestinians to evacuate to their countries. The only reason all of this is happening right now is because the Palestinians have allowed themselves to become puppets of Iran and others who profit from the conflict and don't want to see Israel at peace with the rest of the middle east. Until they have had enough and find a better solution for themselves, they will continue to suffer.

    These took all of about 2 seconds to find on google. You should check to see if you have filter installed on your search engine...or if you are just getting your news from a biased source. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/19/middleeast/west-bank-settler-attacks-israel-cmd-intl/index.html https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-troops-kill-two-palestinian-teens-west-bank-amid-gaza-anger-2023-10-18/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/20/world/middleeast/west-bank-israel-drone.html https://www.npr.org/2023/10/18/1198908667/palestinians-appear-to-have-been-killed-in-reprisal-attacks-in-the-west-bank https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/20/day-of-rage-erupts-accross-west-bank-after-israeli-forces-attack-refugee-camp

    Israel isn't really the victim as much as the victor. Until the Palestinians make peace with the fact that they lost the war in 1947 and every subsequent war/uprising since then, they will continue to suffer.

    Is it a big surprise that the media is extremely biased on a lot of issues? Domestic and foreign? Oddly enough, some of the same media represented in the meme you posted immediately parroted the Hamas propaganda about the destruction of the hospital in Gaza only to have to walk it back later.

    Maybe it's a sad, sorry attempt by Hillary to stay relevant?

    Hillary Clinton endorses Sheila Jackson Lee for Houston mayor, joins list of high-profile supporters As if we really needed another reason not to vote for her.

    How about the UH expressway?
  13. august948
    If that's your thing, walk or ride to a bus stop, get on a bus, go places. It's already pretty easy and only $1.25. I have to say I enjoy driving around the city, day and night. Haven't seen anything remotely like Mad Max out there yet, but I'll let you know if I do.

    And neither one really knew Dan Quayle.
  15. august948
    That's because buying and owning a car has gotten too expensive. We need to find ways to reduce the cost for young drivers to help them get started.

    I remember Lloyd Bentsen. He was no Nolan Ryan. 😜

    They clean up and reopen. Just like we always do after a big storm.

    Looks like good fishing to me.
  20. august948
    Now taking wagers on how long they will stay lit.😛

    You'll get pockets of that in Houston, to be sure, but the city overall is never going to be remade this way. To have a city like that you need to build from the ground up, either from scratch or starting in a prior era where walking was the norm. And you need geographical or hard political boundaries to enforce the density. Neither of those apply here.

    Ikr, it should be advertising St. Arnold, not Coors.

    They can add 8 more lanes on the very top pushing the total to 56 lanes! If we don't break ground on this we won't find those t-rex fossils.
  24. august948
    So just a few square blocks then. Good to know.
  25. august948
    Five residential driveways? That will not have moving traffic 99% of the time? The existing lot looks to have been commercial with the five existing driveways composing more than 50% of the total curb. Sounds like an upgrade for pedestrians, especially if they plant some trees. Just pointing out that the walkability isn't significantly impaired by this. In fact, it's probably going to be improved.
