Turner suggested future bids be controlled and run from city hall instead of other organizations, like the Houston Greater Partnership.
"Too many parts are controlling the whole," Turner said. "What has happened for too long and too many years is we have deferred. That time is no more."
Turner said he was forming a task force to figure out what went wrong and how to improve in the future.-

Stirring write-up Timoric with little direction. We have boxed ourselves in with Katy Freeway, We have boxed ourselves in with the Light Rail, and we are already heading down the same path with the bullet train. People in leadership get there by pandering to those with the loudest voice. That voice is typically not one of reason, so you can expect their decisions to be short sighted and knee jerk. This is the path Houston is headed down and unless there is a stern leadership change, the sprawl will continue.

Exactly what i was saying about the people in leadership. If we have been steering the ship wrong and completely missed this "Wake up Call" opportunity, what changes that will wake us up?

I wonder if these little "second headquarters" (i.e. BACK OFFICE) competitions become more and more common as tech companies shift out of the high cost states. We are probably bound to get one sooner or later, even if we miss this one.
Bechtel and Chevron did the same thing. They keep core folks in San Fran but run the main work out of their satellite offices in Houston and elsewhere.

So, im curious how the new tax plan will benefit houston. I even heard that that there were opportunities to reduce the corporate tax rate if you build in a low income area (5th Ward, East River?) Does anyone know if this is true or if there is a net positive affect for the potential for Houston Development.

Whoa.... I dont think apple would be as good a fit for Houston though. With our heavy industry market, we can at least provide logistics experts to Amazon. Apple would be a better fit for Austin.

Great addition to the neighborhood.

I think the City Center would be for residents of Lake Houston and Fall Creek. But I agree, the area is very easy to get to on counterflow. I lived on the east end and the straight shot up 59 for my roommate and I was a breeze. To be honest, I rarely see traffic going to down town before 7:30am either.

Wow, this reporter basically said she couldn't think of a question so she asked who McCord voted for in the last election. What a bimbo.

a draft of Houston's plan calls for about $268 million in inducements,
I think Greater Houston Partnership is really trying to sell the Innovation Cooridor and not the East River Property. The East River lot would be good because it would have 2 TIRZ located on the lot and would be able to immediately funnel money back into it's development.

just get so tired of this forum always "letting other commenters" get away with some very right leaning conversations, yet it's so very interesting how whenever someone from a different perspective tries to add to the conversation or "correct" any obvious right wing propaganda, they are shot down. I find that not only curious, but not in keeping with the idea of free and fair discussion. And, yes, politics is a part of our history and our growth no doubt about it, and of course, that relates to our wonderful architecture and this forum. I dare anyone to prove otherwise.
Yes, I'll rein it in as you have said. For the good of the forum, but not the incorrect yet subtle lies I read, and therefore not bowing down to specific commenters. Good day.
Try posting a dissenting political opinion on offthekuff. They delete anything remotely non-liberal.

There is a new Mega Church off 59 North and Beltway 8. Too much competition for money grabbing snake charmers.

It seems like this development is waiting on something else to happen before committing to further development (maybe oil prices). They seem like they are very close to pulling the trigger on a lot of nice things in the near future.

So shortlist is supposed to be our in January?

Tout Suite will be gone, but I bet they get a sweet deal from the city on another location in the east end. Maybe somewhere along the green loop

Houston Ranked #23 behind a well placed Austin #6 and Dallas #7. Atlanta seems to have the best chance with a 2:1 odds favorite, followed closely by Austin. Hopefully we get high speed rail out of all of this. Houston, Dallas, Austin.

Spoke to the Owner of Ly's Liquor a week or 2 ago and they will have a spot at this place. Which, if you haven't been is a great bourbon and whiskey liquor store.

Why does that look like the Ivy Tower that they were going to build in EaDO?

Wow @CrockpotandGravel good find. How did you find out that they were tied?
Also, something that I noticed is that the park they have identified on the mid-western portion along the Bayou is about the only portion of the site that falls within the 500-year flood plain. I think they will lower this to the bayou as a boat dock or the open patch to the north could be used for the infamous swimming hole.

Maybe they are waiting to see what happens with the Amazon Bid. Its a long shot but it would be a smart temporary hold.

At this point, developers are just placing their variance requests and plans for development to help bolster their payout. The real challenge will be to see how these companies survive with 10 years of construction out their front door.
