Kim Brown Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 "On a statewide level, the TDHCA awarded $81.6 million in tax credits to a total of 71 affordable housing developments, including 10 in Houston. Another proposed project in the area that submitted an application to the TDHCA – a 180-unit complex called The Ella planned for 1718 W. 26th St. – was not awarded a tax credit." https://theleadernews.com/topfeature/dian-street-villas-project-awarded-housing-tax-credit/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the arguments are specious, and rooted in NIMBYism. Lots of the naysayers didn't live in the area when the Dian Street hate gate was installed, and have no clue what they are talking about. I laugh at their complaints about impervious ground cover, when they are living in side by side houses, where 3 or 4 are occupying the area that used to have a 1400 sq ft house and a decent sized yard. Really? You are complaining about runoff when your house is Exhibit A for development induced runoff? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 There are still a bunch of the "No Dian Street Villas" throughout the neighborhood. I talked with person that lives in the neighborhood and he said it was due to the small narrow streets and probably because it's low income housing. He works for the largest funeral home service in the U.S. and mentioned that the company has future plans for the old KHOU property. High rise with mixed use, offices and housing. They will stay in the current building while it gets built but he had no timeline for the future build. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
