I just think it could work and have it connect to the transit center at the loop and ten. Then build south using the uptown line, which IMO, has a better chance than Richmond. Once the people come to, build on Richmond. Rail needs to go west asap if it wants more support. People out west aren't convinced and don't understand why two lines went east.

He has the Villages and river oaks in his district... Guy has deep pockets. I say eff him and build rail west on Washington. Is not in his district.

Those signs aren't there anymore.  I'm one of the few that still go to games even if it is just for the view lol.  Here's a pic I took 3 weeks ago

how many people could live there? 10?

I am the owner / builder of http://devmap.io and I'm really excited to see all of your contributions! Please feel free to give any feedback / suggestions, I want to make devmap.io a really simple, collaborative reference for all things development. Also, if you'd like an easier to remember way to get to Houston's map you can use http://houston.devmap.io.

Well, this woulda been nice to know!!! Greatly appreciate the openness to sharing.  Collaboration is key. HAIF 2017!!! Sorry, I got carried away 

Haha, thanks for the comments yall! I was procrastinating a jazz test online lol, got an A, so no worries.  Lemme know if I've missed anything or would like to see something added. All I need is a height and address for the most part.  

They have nearly everything we need to know on their website and even data to download to explore and manipulate if you have ideas you want to share.  Still can't wait for the verdict

Some of the colors have been adjusted to make it easier to see.  I don't exactly know how accurate the height of the Crawford apts are.  I used the rendering and the photo to guesstimate.  In the rendering it's a lil bit shorter than the Inn at the Ballpark. The photo gave me an idea that since it's a block behind the 4story bldg it may not look like 3 stories taller.  The structure is 120 ft tall in the original that I posted, granted that may be a lil high.   Realistically 10-12 foot residential floors plus the small decorative top would still only put the apts shy of 100' so I went back and scaled them down to 100 for optimistic purposes .

Just to give a rough idea of the changes in DT

Sorry, but I'm pissed with them as it is.  You expand the Katy Freeway and the HOV lanes only to let people purchase their way onto them?! I use the Addicks P&R and I just don't understand the logic, other than to make money, for opening those designated HOV lanes for lone drivers to use just because they can afford it.  Let that be an option mid-day, fine.  But to let lone commuters use the HOV during PEAK RUSH HOUR is complete and utter non-sense.  The HOV and P&R's are supposed to encourage those in the burbs to use them during the rush hours to lower the amount of cars on the road resulting in less congestion.  Simple.  I'm sick of getting stuck in traffic on the HOV headin home on the bus because of the sheer amount of lone commuters willing to use.  RAISE THE PRICE OF EZ TAG FOR THE HOV!!! Not on the P&R users.  If you can afford gas from Katy to DT on top of the, what, $14 dollars it is round trip to use the EZ Tag, each day, then you have enough money as it is.  Raise the price on that demographic, not the one that is tying to save money so they can commute to work everyday.  METROMORONS

I was thinkin something similar to the Rothko... "The Underpass Chapel"?  Yeah? Yeah? Anybody? hehe

Wow, great pic.  First thought that came to mind was how ironic it is.  You have the Dome next to Reliant with a dirt field and red flowers in the foreground.  It can go both ways: 1.) it demonstrates how Houston is constantly changing with new construction, ideas and the Dome as a symbol of previous progressiveness that was a catalyst for Houston's development or 2.) the dirt field is foreshadowing the Dome with the flowers serving as a memorial to Heart of Houston being lost. 

Sorry, but this pic really got me.  Didn't mean to be a Debbie Downer guys

That is on the north side of the bayou next to the skate park.

When might we know what they'll do to it?  Thought it reminded me of the overpasses and underpasses with there multitude of columns and arches. Seems pretty Houstonian to me 

Think I saw this from I-10 today while on the bus

There is...

It will be interesting to get some height on that side of the freeway. I wonder what regular non-architecture geeks like us think when coming in from San Antonio for the first time.

-See BP: "OH hey! We must be close to Downtown!!"

I still think they should add a "Welcome to Houston- Energy Capital of the World" sign or something like that on the Highway 6 bridge/overpass for those heading into town

kinda reminds me of CIA HQ in Langley right now

holy heck those were nice videos
