The selected names doesn't sho the administrators as very smart. What happened to all the nice names with Houston in it? I voted for University of Southeast Texas. It's will give the least confusion. How in the world will people running from confusion select a name like Texas Southeast U when TSU is about 5 miles away?

There's a story that Penn Governor have them put in place when slower traffic on left lanes keep slowing him down. Texas needs those. But hey, I find traffic laws in Texas so lax compared to other states or other Texas laws. Have them in Spanish too? You're shaking a bee's comb on that one. Other road signs are not in Spanish and your target audience obey them, those that want to.

Memorial Hermann website has a start date of Feb 09. It doesn't look like an actively updated info though.

The major constraint TMC has is space/land.

He has no idea why anyone will live outside the loop, as opposed to inside the loop. In other words, he prefers inside the loop. Sing that to musicman.

Outside the loop is not a suburb to me, Sugar Land, Pearland, the Woodlands, Katy etc. is.

Nope. Look at Houston crime map and similar maps for Houston suburbs.

Because their kids have 70% less chance of getting shot?

Oh really. I just got got a 10% off AA coupon mailer last night. When did airlines turn to department stores? Just wait till people make their choices about summer vacation this year. 3. At least one chain restaurant will file for chapter 11.

Is editor's "loop" not the I-10, I-45 and 59 polygon? what we call downtown?

Someone grab a pair of glasses and see the big picture. Westbury is a little suburb within the city, at best. It can't be lumped together with Sugar Land or the Woodlands, which are the kind of suburbs that most people here are talking about.

Finally, this thread did something good - it made mr. city to start posting. Welcome. And thankls a lot for articulating your points so logically. Now all the city-is-best-suburbanites-are-stupid HAIFers should stick this up their nose.

Correct. A classic suburb. Getting a few strip centers now. If you work anywhere near or in the loop you'd have to use Fort Bend Tollroad, about 4 buck/day. If you head toward Sugar Land/Katy you'd deal with pain-in-the-ass lights on Hwy 6, and 59 traffic.

Hey my BMI is boderline 19. Weight loss is unhealthy to me. Tip-top physical and mental shape is good.

What I'll like to see is a HAIFer run for mayor. S/he will be one of the best ever.

A July 1999 article on texasfreeway.com says it's 100 ft wide.

oh you want to factor in the time it takes you to get to zero mph? I'm only talking about when your forward inertia stops and your car's rear end "rests". The time it takes you to stop is very, very variable. That's more than 3 secs, even at 10 mph.

Right. I'd never heard this but you'll know when your car comes to a full stop when driving. The phenomenon called inertia in physics is what the cops are looking for. It takes 1 sec, no more than that, with a car.

I worked on Christmas day...some people are sick in the hospital.

Do you guys really think suburbs are nonsense? Seriously? Ok let's go point-by-point... You forget about good schools, low crime, great place to raise kids, and in Houston suburbs, 5 - 10 minutes from every chain restaurant, a mall, a town center, swimming pool, tennis courts and soccer fields are all in the subdivision. They sure market more than size. Your city-centric eyes need to more attention. Why will a family of 4 buy a 1200 sf 1 bedroom in museum district or midtown for 250,000 when they can get a 2500 mcmansion in Pearland for 200, 000. If you'll do that then only one word describes you s-t-u-p-i-d. So is the marketing of your highrise condo. Your last sentence sums up the rest of your post.

When I signed up for our house to be built I know immediately that half the homes in our section is going to have that plan, but i don't care. It is simply a great plan for the space. There are 38 homes on my street, 19 built by my builder. 5/19 homes has my plan. I know because we were the first on the street. But why would that bother me. I love the suburbs for what it has to offer, listed by memebag above. Crowd, crime and cramped space for the money are about my top three reasons for not living inside the beltway. But we go there to enjoy life when we're hungry for it. Ever seen a parent with two wonderful kids who will forgo fine schools because of cookie-cutter homes?

One of the things that guides medical practice is 'risk-benefit' analysis. Doctors do whatever they do on you and prescribe whatever because its benefits outweigh the risks. same goes for people's choices. suburbs are great for some, and sucks for others. make your best choice and don't critisize others for making their best choice. btw, Houston suburbs are fast becoming atypical with closer malls, fine dining, and proximal services. A nurse in Sugarland don't need to drive to Medical center to work in Methodist or go to the Galleria to shop at Macy's anymore. Why won't she and her husband choose to live there?

Edit: Messed up, refer to #5.

This is in reply to MidtownCoog about swimming in the murky lake at Discovery Green. I will be checking on the very early threads to see if anyone here has underwent metamorphosis.

Whoever have that dog probably read this forum. haven't seen mounds on my lawn in about a month.
