It has been a while since Iโve been on HAIF. This thread is for the old Regent Square, correct? What is the general HAIF consensus, are the new plans better or worse than Regent Square?

Maybe Tulsi Gabbard? Could be Desantis. If Trump wins he could ride his coattails as VP and gain more exposure, giving him momentum into the next election. Even though it may not prevent him from winning, Trump would be foolish to choose another Establishment republican. I think Carson would be a really good choice but I think he said he will not run again. He was neck and neck with Trump in the primaries.

Pence is done in the Republican Party. I think the only question left unanswered right now is if Desantis plans on running against Trump or not. A lot can happen in one or two years.

Exxon Moving Headquarters To Houston?
lockmat replied to cloud713's topic in General Houston Discussions
The Chronicle is a complete joke now. They donโt report real news anymore. They donโt even have โNewsโ on their main page. The other day when SCOTUS ruled against Bidenโs vax mandate, they didnโt have a single article about it, not even from the AP. -

It's nice, but not a huge fan. If it's not much different looking than an office building, to me, there is something wrong.

The architecture and design for Houston is actually becoming consistently good, imo. At least it's trending in the right direction. This looks very good.

I think that some people's utopian idea of urbanism is one without cars. I'm not saying you want this utopia, so please pardon me if I implied it. But this design is essentially car-less, unless one counts the presumed parking garages we think might be below. What assumptions am I making that do not make sense? I've never been to an urban place without streets. Usually the more streets, the more urban. This place has a ring around it, which to me gives the feel of a faux-urban suburban development like Market Street in The Woodlands. Sure, it's pedestrian friendly once you get there, but so is the Exxon campus and even that is half-baked urbanism.

I don't know the areas you've been to in Germany, but based on your description, it sounds like a pre-modern urban utopia where no cars exist, which is the exception to urbanism. Other than your description of Germany, I can't think of an urban city that doesn't have vehicular streets, except maybe Florence. To me, streets/grids and urbanism go hand in hand. I only see two streets winding around this development, which to me, reminds me of a suburban development....lots of buildings but no streets. I'm not calling for parking lots. Ideally there would be a huge underground parking garage. I just want some thru streets.

The area it lies within is not super griddy, but is anyone else disappointed by the lack of streets incorporated into the design? Looks like a massive suburban project to me. Although this area could be argued it is more suburban than urban already. hmmm Where is the parking? Are there garages underground? Or will it all be podium style?
