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.

This is bullshit is what it is

That is extremely disappointing.

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.

I live there. I'm actually an old famous mystery novelist summoning my younger wife's lover to play a deadly game of cat and mouse.

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. -

So I know the people that own the shop. I don't eat out much because I'm a poor adjunct professor, but I love it there.
What y'all mind find interesting, is that the people who run Maryam's have been planning to build this for a while. They've mentioned the multi-floor building. A bigger kitchen space. They also, at one point, mentioned having underground parking, but this seemed like enumerating things that would be nice to have. Boy I hope they get the off with the streetfront parking. They have a bunch of spots about two hundred feet west down the street. -
So, they're moving around dirt on the property. They have a few excavators and bulldozers.

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

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.

This forum worried so much about it looking awful, that it forgot to worry about it looking out of place.

It's like they're raking a giant zen garden
