    No. The essence is that more skyscrapers should be built!
  2. LTAWACS
    You didn't specifically answer the question though. Is this during your work day or when you're off from work?

    My comments above pertain to the design of office buildings/towers and not to the overall design or planning of a city. Yes, a city should be more walkable and urban. Especially when you're not at work. No, it's not a good thing to walk most of the day between buildings - getting battered by the elements in the process. Especially at work.

    When I worked at Conoco over on Dairy Ashford, it was always a pain walking 1/4 mile to get to someone's office. Especially when it was raining, cold, or just hot as hell, since the walkway was exposed and uncovered. Same thing when I was at HP on 249. At least there, the skywalk was enclosed. Where I am now the shortest distance between all 7 buildings is 270 feet - unconnected. So one has to walk (or run) in the rain, cold, or the crushing humidity to get to any one of the other buildings. By the time one gets to the lobby of their destination building they look like the cat dragged them in. So, yeah. It's not always a good thing to have everyone in these boring buildings on a campus. I'm not sure that "Why, you could just walk to the building next door!" is as simple, easy, or should be as big a pro as one might think.

    That's fine. However, if it's not in the energy corridor... then their markerting fluff department shouldnt say it's in the energy corridor...
  6. LTAWACS
    So could it be said that this is not in the "energy corridor", but rather, north of it?
  7. LTAWACS
    I was under the impression that the northern boundary of the so-called "energy corridor" was I-10. This is way north of that.... on Clay Road at BW 8. Is this correct?
  8. LTAWACS
    Nice!
  9. LTAWACS
    Is this like gerrymandering?
  10. LTAWACS
    Mike, usually projects like this have a little lead time built in. Should probably be kept to a minimum but it happens.

    Are there any major Chinese oil and gas companies with a major presence in Houston?
  12. LTAWACS
    I wouldn't consider the wood lands "here". It is quite removed from the city.
  13. LTAWACS
    Perhaps they can be relocated to that new shelter under construction in katy.
  14. LTAWACS
    I have this strange feeling that it would.

    I think some interesting questions to ask I think are: In how many countries does the pedestrian have the right-of-way as in the USA? and In how many countries does the automobile have the right-of-way as in France?
  16. LTAWACS
    Well... I do agree that roads are for cars and not kids... and that in a land as vast as the lower 48 the automobile really did open up travel possibilities. I can see how pedestrians walking in between parked cars on the curb will want to "cut" through them to cross the street, they will encounter unsuspecting drivers racing towards an unfavorable sempaphore - and get run over. That would not be good.
  17. LTAWACS
    Something very tall would have to go here... Perhaps mixed use.
  18. LTAWACS
    It's still there. I buy tools from them all the time.
  19. LTAWACS
    Excalibur.
  20. LTAWACS
    Pulled out? Any reason why? Would u happen to know if the company is in the energy services field/industry?
  21. LTAWACS
    Hrm... nothing spectacular. Looks like maybe 100k sq ft.
  22. LTAWACS
    I think it should be eliminated entirely. I mean, why is there a train in the middle of this and other areas???
  23. LTAWACS
    Well at least it's taller. Taller > shorter.
  24. LTAWACS
    Frankly, I can't imagine that to be the case. Or at least I hope not. The tower itself reminds me of anadarko.
  25. LTAWACS
    Culberson and astounding lack of vision have done more harm than good. And whoever said we don't get excited about those buildings is spot on.
