Looks like they nixed it last rendering I saw.  I could be wrong. 

I have an idea. Wash it all down, invite people people to spray it, like the factory just off 45 to the south, and then when every part of it is covered with whatever the artists' want, then glass facade it up. It'd be a great historical object. 

I guess what I'm saying is while they're doing this they should anticipate the movement of the freeway and add another color at the sliver on top. 

I'm wondering why they don't extend it farther north to where the highway will be, and not where it is currently. Or am I somehow misreading the map?

If you go into that foreign company's country, make it to the mouth of their volcano and throw an ancient deed into the flames, you free those surface lots for development

Oh boy look at these

I'm making a French Revolution reference for Twinsanity. Georges Danton, by all accounts a hideous man, remarked that his executioners should show his "head to the people. It's well worth seeing" after it was chopped off. 

Don't forget to show my upper floors to the people. They're well worth seeing. 

From my apartment's parking garage I saw an excavator on this property.  

Okay, so what I don't get honestly, is all this very theoretical density and the same huge parking lot east of the ballpark. It's kinda funny. 

I'm gonna second intencity77. 

Maybe it'll be a simple brick building with the tiniest bit of massing and oak trees where the palm trees are. We don't know. It ain't built yet. 

Saw the tree.

Every time I go by 1825 I think an upper floor apartment facing west would have a great view of bell tower of the Cathedral. 

And a large but elegant Australian invasive species cat it is. 

Yeah, it's a sea. 

I'd like to point out what doesn't come through in the pictures (though it's there). A quarter of the chase lot has a two story steel construction. You can see it in on the right in the second and sixth pictures. 

I kinda sorta like this building. I'd like in a street grid certainly. Pity they had to show me the great keeling ship building they had planned

The like button seems not to be working but thank you ekdrm2d1 for the pictures. 

Sometimes a berm is close to a river bend. I don't know about here. But the "Crescent" in New Orleans, the part of the city they built on originally is on the bank of the Mississippi. 

The land next to White Oak on 19th wasn't flooding, but a block south it was, and at 11th it was in houses many blocks deep. So it's not so much about how close land is as how elevated land is.

Not sure if this is news, but it it is, wonderful. 

What get's me is when people write "additional stops between the two cities, such as in the city of Byran/College Station, have already been confirmed," when they must be talking about Roans Prairie. I went to A&M and Sam Houston State, and neither of them is within walking distance. 

Love to get a live mic for the feds in my apartment living

Maybe phase 75 is a metrorail station

i mean it's awesome that most of europe has 100' wide thoroughfares but they also have an innumerable amount of much narrower, pedestrian-friendly streets that houston lacks entirely. 

 

you're like a staunch anti-urbanist.

Those narrow pre-19th century streets that dominate much of major European cities. 

So a fact about Paris. Paris' grand boulevards were an invention of Napoleon III and his city planner, because the exclusively narrow streets were so easy to fill up with barricades. He wanted boulevards the width of a cavalry company.
