    This is becoming a pocket park right? 😅😒

    The city hasn't adopted the ordinance change just yet. We'll see the changes soon enough in future builds

    . same, way better vibe and good place to grab a drink

    I hate I can't delete my post .

    That place was just fine when it was Royal Oak

    Hold on, so they're tearing down the other building for the flyover but are they demolishing the Bread of Life buildings for the new complex?
  7. j_cuevas713
    What in the world are they made of? That’s a very lame excuse for terrible design
  8. j_cuevas713
    Yeah that looks terrible

    Losing the old Houston Post building, Hogan Allnoch building, and the old DA building still breaks my heart. Not to mention the demolished buildings behind the Lancaster Hotel. The old Incarnate Word and old Sacred Heart as well. So much potential for all of those buildings. We have saved quite a few buildings as well but it just sucks how much potential those buildings all had to add to the vibrancy of downtown.

    A sculpture in the middle would be nice, something welcoming people on to the corridor.

    This is one of those little projects that adds to the neighborhood without destroying its character and history. Good job by Harry’s

    So BikeHouston was given a grant to build bike racks for businesses that want them. If someone in the area lives close to this business and doesn’t mind asking, let me know.

    Welp that’s unfortunate. Are there plans to build something in it’s place or is this going to be another parking lot?
  14. j_cuevas713
    Wow I had no idea this was being built. This is an incredible addition to our zoo.
  15. j_cuevas713
    Anyone know what’s happening here?
  16. j_cuevas713
    That's why I don't get why the developer of this project couldn't have used better judgement in the layout and use of the land. If the goal is 2030 to remove all parking mins, then that's too long. I say no later than 2025, and I'm being kind.

    Yeah this is stupid. A gas station in a premier urban area is embarrassing.

    What a disaster other than the student housing I guess. We had a great opportunity to build dense with no parking requirements. None of these parcels have any infrastructure for pedestrians, just cars.
  19. j_cuevas713
    I think that's the most important thing. The parking is in the back and pedestrians don't feel like an afterthought for the neighborhood. I actually like the design though.

    I hate when highway access is a highlight of the property
  21. j_cuevas713
    The food may have been good but the design concept was terrible. Anytime someone decides to paint a palm leaf roof, it's a recipe for disaster. Not to mention painting the thing black of all colors. The space just didn't seem inviting nor eye catching. I use to live down the street at Residence at the Heights. This part of town still has a ways to go.
  22. j_cuevas713
    Just when you think we're making progress smh

    Looks like a great spot for a mural dedicated to the Museum District

    I probably should have been smarter with my words. What I mean is that those 2 issues are some of the most important with the current layout of our city. I do agree though, I have no idea why a boundary wasn't better established. Houston at one time was a small dense city. What I've seen happen is people who don't live in Houston or live out of state think Houston is 600 square miles of sprawl but that's actually not the case. Much of the area is undeveloped land, another chunk is sprawl, and the other section is The Loop which is Houston proper. It would have been nice for the city to cut itself off at The Loop but it annexed a ton of land for tax revenue purposes. While I'm not a fan, it gives the city leverage with how it wants to utilize all of that land, like one massive real estate agency.

    I actually don't remember Parker's stance on much. And tbh I think SJL is going to win even though I completely agree with your point on the other two candidates. Whitmire is the only candidate that in my opinion is very moderate on everything. While he has a stance on public transit, it's a very basic outlook of simply getting people to work, school, etc. but I don't know what he believes in terms of expansion. He come's across like a guy that believes in roads first.
