What can we do?

I might try it.

Hanging out at 2 am with groups of people drinking 40's, stealing shopping carts from the Target nearby and leaving them in the their yard, several people coming in and out at all times of day with cars driving up - stopping for 3 min while someone from the house comes up to the car window and then leaves, etc

enough?

Yep that should do it.

I hope at least several 30+ resi and/or office towers spring up. Perhaps 60/40 resi.

lol

Not good.

Cool

It'll be our own little hobo trail of tears. We can call it the "Trail of Beers" but only because that sounds better than "Trail of Mad Dog 20/20."

Awesome.

Oh and the renderings are cool too.

We should all do more to support this thing. Even if most of us have to drive 47 miles to get to it.

I opine it is way to far from Central Houston to seriously be taken as main street America.

It's too bad that the mayor of Houston doesn't have veto powers over skyscraper design. I know of one city where anything over 14 stories needs to meet with the mayor's asthetic approval to be built. At least then we'd have a name to hold responsible, and not some faceless company.

Interesting. What city is this?

Tell me more about the very shady element living in them. What makes them shady, exactly?

They use umbrellas during the day - even if it's not raining - and wear shades at night.

Day WO pay, eh? They should try

1. a MONTH WO pay

2. 33% reduction on pay

Most grocery stores have recycle bins for plastic bags, dry cleaner bags, shrink wrap -- the thin, filmy kind of plastic that doesn't go in the curbside cans.

Yep. Im unsure why they make it so tedious though. One bin... for ALL recyclables. ALL OF THEM.

I like that.

Actually, if you look at the full-size picture, there are 3 red dots in the western half of South Union (between 288 and Springhill).

According to the legend, each dot represents 25 families...somehow I've missed the 75 white families on those 10 blocks.

I don't think the info is accurate even if each dot represents a single family...at least for our neighborhood.

EDIT: Just realized this is based on 2000 census data...I wasn't here until '03, so never mind. Probably all the white people moved out after I moved in.

I'd be interested to see a comparison of 2000 to 2010 maps...or even better, to see some older historical maps.

OR

We can attribute this to lazy, incompetent, and slow Census workers/updates.

Baytown? Really? Wow.

I did not expect anything such as this from those goons.

Where would I fall on this rather useless poll if I said:

Most people should NOT be allowed to do whatever they want

???

I'm a latent anarchist. When I see people take to the streets and riot when they're screwed by the powerful, it makes me happy for humanity. Americans are so pussywhipped.

A latent anarchist. Interesting indeed.

Wow, three downvotes. Lighten up: it was only an idea, not something going into effect.

I just gave you an upvote.

Any one been yet? They are open, but haven't done a thing to advertise themselves through the social networks so I don't know much about them at this point....

Use the force.

Barf.

You misunderstood. It was more of a shot at the bland, boxy architecture.

Ah yes I did misunderstand. But yes. It is nothing more than bland, boxy, safe, architecture.

I love this tower.
