But Comcast customer service is exemplary! No way could THEY be at fault!!

Waugh at Memorial/Allen Pkway = office building central and this one wont even be the tallest.

LMAO at the idea of Chevron relocating their Houston presence to Conroe

What's the deal with the random roundabout that was added at Minimax and Salford. First time Ive ever noticed that.

Lets talk about something important, like how ridiculous it is that I-345 has its own interstate designation instead of just being designated I-45 or US-75

Sue him for libel!

Also, I'm shocked by the libel on these boards. I sure hope everyone on here knows what they are doing.

Lol

I support the right to give an opinion that someone else is a jerk and hypocrite. After all I might need it here.

Every neighborhood for all time has had nutcases who stick their noses where it doesn't belong and try to run other people's lives "for the good of everybody"

Some neighborhoods don't give those people power and some do.

I agree that it comes from a sense of smug superiority and arrogance rather than an actual economic decision for most of those people.

I just mourn for those that were truly inconvenienced. Those who had to drive by and look at it.

Ideally, some of the funds we sent to Washington DC in taxes would come back to us to fund transportation projects. Well, ideally, the funds would just be given back to us.

Probably not a good idea to waste money on rail then.

Perhaps this thread should have been discussing the impending invasion of about 43 CrossFit affiliates into the heights/West End/GO/OF areas.

It makes a hell of a lot more sense for the extremist urban planning view that the apartment shouldn't have a garage for cars at all than complaining about a benign skywalk that wont even allow you to bypass any semblance of urban business, just allows you to bypass a quasi courtyard pass through.  This development is transit oriented! Lets rail on the developer for thinking of his pocket book and putting in a useless amenity like parking when tehse tenants should be forced to walk and use the convenient train station!!!

Hines must not know how to play this real estate game on a professional level...

Man she really tore the sash guy a new one compared with what you said she should have done.

All she had to do was just say that she was unable to get the Sash Guy to do the work and needed someone else.

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who is good at repairing old windows? Unfortunately, The Sash Guy was unwilling to help us (despite the fact that I recommended The Sash Guy to a big group of people at the Historic Preservation Fair when the man leading the old window repair session said that he did not repair old windows for others professionally himself b/c it is too tedious/time consuming/expensive).

2 highrises in that model already exist.

I think the CoH should preserve this road to nowhere.

Always good to see new ideas.

I think its obvious that eliminating the through, elevated portions on the boundaries of downtown would decrease congestion and improve traffic for those who commute to and from and around the CBD.  Whether or not it would cause problem for point to point commuters and through traffic  would then depend on the carrying capacity of the new through traffic networks, primarily loop 610, which has its own dubious capacity in certain areas,

Ideally the major freeways in Houston I think would not be so close to the CBD, have 3 major interstate corridors all intersect within 1 mile of each other seems a bit excessive, but that's how its happened.

Seems like you'd just need to bury 59, increase capacity, and run 45 and 59 concurrently underground there on only one side of downtown rather than bury both sections. Just eliminate 45 on the west side of downtown completely.

Having studied the application for the abandonment of Allston St. between 5th St. and 6th St, my priority is to ensure that the neighborhood remains safe and accessible for my constituents. Allston St. serves as a connecting street between 5th St. and 6th St, and its abandonment will negatively impact the quality of life of the surrounding community. Therefore, if this matter comes to City Council for consideration, I plan to vote against the closure of Allston St.

Wait, Allston doesn't go through from 6th to 5th does it? I was under the impression that it runs into the Fixtures International yard back there. Doesn't it just end into a roadblock?

Any place with a semblance of skyline view and the realtor always gets that shot, and sometimes many shots to put on the listing. Sm3h has admitted as much earlier claiming that the views were exaggerated by the realtor. And how many shots of 2200 Harvard show street views of the surrounding neighborhood that is so desirable? Surely the realtor would want to put something as grand as that in?
