    Amen!

    My guess is the population jump will only be striking in Downtown and Midtown plus maybe Museum Park/Med Center in 2020; new developments replaced older, smaller properties particularly in Uptown, Heights, River Oaks/Greenway, and Washington. Also, gentrification and changing demographics skew numbers slightly. With that said, going forward, population should rise quite quickly with any new dense development in these areas--most older housing properties have already been replaced. Also, the rapid de-industrialization of the Inner Loop and industrial boom in the suburban fringe in recent years will add to the population increase over the next ten years.

    A summary of the last few pages in this thread.

    I personally like it when parking is mixed--some garage, some out front, some in back. This way employees and delivery trucks can park in the hidden spaces and patrons can use the more convenient, visible spots. With that said, placing structures closer to the street has been proven to slow drivers overall. Drivers tend to speed at higher rates in places that are seemingly wide and open. Regardless, this is good infill on a small lot. These small, former car lots in this area are quickly going away. One side effect, which the neighborhoods will quickly realize, is that this lot currently holds ~50 bar patron cars that will now be parking on the residential streets. The residential parking permits won't work well on many streets due to the City's current method of defining these permit areas which tend to only benefit deed restricted neighborhoods without scattered condo and commercial structures. I can't wait to pop the popcorn and watch FB/ND blow up.

    Infill retail/office: NW corner of Washington at Bonner. Another small vacant, asphalt lot bites the dust.

    I didn't see a drawing--only a photo of an existing HHA project used as artwork on the Report Cover. Is there a rendering? I would assume this would be a dense mid-rise or something similar like the one planned in Uptown a few years back.

    I think these apartments are going in directly west of the townhome site. There is a stormwater prevention sign titled "Alliance MF" or something of the like right about where the western property line of those townhomes are going in...there was definitely clearing happening---but yeah, the photo mostly shows the townhome infrastructure now that I look at a map.

    Looks like the Admiral Linen facility (on 1.5+ blocks at Harvard/Center) is closing in January...just one block north of the new mixed use/H-E-B building at Buffalo Heights: https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/11/02/linen-and-uniform-rental-co-to-close-houston.html

    Kroger should be rotated.

    Haha---Dolce deserves a little more respect. Le Palais on W. Gray started a full year before, and it's still under construction.

    Along with this City-funded portion between Dickson and Washington, TIRZ #5 is planning the reconstruction of Durham and Shepherd between North Loop and 11th. Based on their current budget document, Shepherd is scheduled for construction in 2020 and Durham in 2022. That would leave the heavily traveled portion between 11th and Washington unplanned. https://www.houstontx.gov/ecodev/tirzdocs/budgetsfy18/tirz5.pdf

    I hope everyone can get a refund on all preorders of yellow foam board and stakes.

    Hmmm...I cannot see the link, but I am 99.9% certain this is being mixed up with ~800 apartments planned for the 17000 block of Bissonnet in Fort Bend County in the Camelia development just east of FM 1464.

    Insert Houston Chronicle joke here.
