    Money is no object. We have the strongest economy in America. The 1% can pick up the tab. Greedy bastards! About time they built me a Texas sized indoor park so I can run around in the grass barefoot and not get chigger bites or heat stroke. Just kidding - I'm sure they'll work something out. http://www.chron.com/houston/article/Newest-Dome-proposal-to-be-announced-this-5712980.php

    World's largest indoor park. Trees, shrubs, grass and green space under a glass roof. Always 72 degrees. No mosquitos. Love it. Love everything about it.

    My source is my olfactory nerve. That's good enough for me and that's all that counts.

    Public transportation is like a public port-o-potty. People only use it when they absolutely HAVE to. At the moment, most Texans don't have to or want to. That being said, trains are cute. Unnecessary, but cute. And like mostly everyone else at HAIF I hope Houston gets more. If for no other reason, it might make you post a little less incoherent, pointless dribble at HAIF.

    WOW! People who fly a lot and who don't own cars and who don't care about getting around in style and who don't mind it taking twice as long and who don't mind frequent stops and who love sitting next to people who don't bathe are going to love this. That's right, all 6 of them.

    Jesus Christ this website got boring! As each day ends I thing this website get lamer and lamer. Are there any new towers or new cool businesses coming to town?

    Hm, I wonder what kind of "Wacky Shacks" they are building in Denver and Seattle these days?

    The one in Austin looks more like an F Hotel than a W Hotel. I wish the roof was flatter.

    In N Out and a W Hotel?
  13. Metro West
    I know. Why couldn't it have been shaped like a square box? We need more buildings with 4 sides and a flat roof.

    No! It might cause them to cancel the project and then the boom will be over! How'd you like THAT hanging over your head for the rest of your life?

    McSkyscraper?

    The experts are never wrong. They can't put anything on the internet unless it's true. The boom will be over before I finish typing this sentenc

    This is what it will look like when Disney holds their convention in Houston.

    There's more than one angle to look at a skyline.

    I think 99.9% of internet discussion board comments are 'infill'.

    Wow. There are still people who actually pay attention to a slick vic post? That's like playing with a broken Slinky™.

    Good God - who's comparing Houston to New York. I'm comparing Houston in 2017 with Houston in 2014. If anyone's waiting for downtown Houston's walkable urban 'neighborhood' to be bigger and better than New York, they are going to be waiting for a very, very long time. I think the most we can hope for is just a little taste of NY in a small area. Personally speaking, that's good enough for me. If I wanted to live in NY or wanted the NY 'experience', I'd move there - and would suggest anyone else do the same. Life is too short to wait for Houston to copy NY or anywhere else. What a silly thing to want anyway.

    NO! You may only criticize what I SAY you can criticize! Just kidding. But, what part of "Y'all can besmirch the architecture of the tower all you want" did you not understand? I'm not exactly thrilled with the tower's architecture myself. I just see it as a great project for downtown. It's a good step in the right direction for downtown. Anyway, who said anything about all of downtown. The area around Market Square IS the neighborhood I was referring to.

    Y'all can besmirch the architecture of the tower all you want (it's good, not great) but this tower (and the Hines a block over) is going to add a lot of downtown residents (good ones) and is really going to give downtown that much coveted legitimate walkable neighborhood that people have been craving for Houston since this website started. GAME CHANGER. O how those businesses already in that area must be salivating over this project. Personally, I like how this tower is going to extend the skyline to the north and make it look noticeably bigger from the west and east. Regardless of architecture style or materials, upon completion, downtown silhouettes just got more impressive.

    Tallest residential tower in the history of downtown Houston - game changer. BTW, since when does a 40 story tower NOT break the 40 story mark? This tower made it to 40 stories. It did not break the 41 story mark, if that's your problem.
