    As I said upthread, I wish we could get the love from United that DFW gets from American.

    Shocking. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
  3. Houston19514
    Actually, the point is you told us AI service to DFW had been announced. That is false. Full stop. With or without context. No announcement had been made when you reported this falsehood to us. No announcement has been made as of this moment.

    Demolition of Terminal B North has begun (at last report, they had started with the demolition of jet bridges).

    I'd rather have actual growth than imagined or projected growth. If and when the future faster growth at DFW materializes and they overtake Houston in international traffic, I'll post it. But at this time, the record shows (contrary to some earlier predictions posted on this very forum) that Bush Intercontinental has more international traffic than DFW and is growing faster. "Announce intentions." I read that article earlier this month too. Mostly just reporting on various message board rumors. There has been no "announcement" of service to DFW by Air India. (And LAX, SEA, and DFW are not shown on Air India's route map.) https://www.airindia.com/in/en/destinations/route-map.html

    I read that review too. He kinda shortchanged the review of the symphony by spending so much time denigrating the hall. But I really wondered how he, as an audience member, could tell how it sounds to the performers? And aren't "must be like singing or playing into a mattress" and "There’s no hiding the tiniest slip in timing or tuning" contradictory?

    No. Oxy sold those towers to the Howard Hughes Corp.
  8. Houston19514
    Well, I guess you make a good case for elevating freeways...

    They are a block to the east (at least they were last week -- in greater numbers than had recently been the case).

    Also, Turkish started their DFW service in 2021. There doesn't seem to be anyone from DFW Airport on the India economic development mission. And I don't know of any announcement of DFW service by Air India. (DFW being DFW, there is zero chance that an announcement was made without it showing up on DFW's website and in the Dallas Morning News; searches of each turn up nothing.) (Just realized I slightly misstated the growth numbers in my prior post, and I missed the edit window. Those growth rates were for the calendar year 2023 through November, not the full year. I'll post the full year as soon as DFW posts their numbers.)

    I wish we'd get the love from United that DFW gets from American. But I'd rather have Bush IAH's international traffic growth of 22.4% for 2023 than DFW's 14.3% growth. (By the way, I think Finnair and Iberia have both been at DFW since 2022; good for them that they finally joined Houston in having service from Turkish.)

    I’ve said Greyhound will replace their Dallas station. You’ve now told us Greyhound is in fact working on replacing the station. Thanks for the confirmation.
  14. Houston19514
    I’m pretty sure that pic of Southwest Freeway was taken before the project was completed and that is has not flooded since.
  15. Houston19514
    As of this date, and until October, they are still operating where they are. The chances of Greyhound not having a station in the Dallas are similar to the chances of the nation’s tallest building being built in Oklahoma City.
  16. Houston19514
    Of course it wil be replaced.

    . Another example of how parking minimums are not the evil they are made out to be here on HAIF. I hope someone will point out the first significant development that provides less parking than they would have been required to provide under the previous regulations. Downtown has not had minimum parking requirements for many years, and yet, every hotel, apartment building, condo, and office building has provided parking; in all cases I'm aware, every bit as generously as the regulations would have required.

    Even if all that is true, just because there are occasions when freeways have to be closed for construction is not really a good reason to NOT fix flooding of the freeways. Here's an interesting audio on the topic of raising Houston's freeways https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/shows/houston-matters/2019/11/07/351265/when-it-rains-houstons-freeways-flood-one-researcher-wants-to-change-that/

    You seem confused. We are speaking of a U-turn lane connecting the west-bound I-10 frontage road to the eastbound frontage road. Zero interference with the Heights Blvd esplanade.
  21. Houston19514
    no seriously, that will not be built.
  22. Houston19514
    Yeah, I've never understood the lack of a u-turn lane at Heights Blvd.
  23. Houston19514
    How much unease is there in the Austin real estate community about the fast-approaching glut of office space and HUGE glut of downtown apartments?
  24. Houston19514
    I often wonder why Houstonians, especially HAIFers, are so eager to find failure.
  25. Houston19514
    Zero chance.
