    Losing how?

    There is a serious fight against this project in the countryside, and the backers of the HSR don't have the funding to make it happen yet.

    PR BS. That fantasy train isn't getting off the ground any time soon.

    Don't know if this helps, but -- Christian Temple Assembly of God The merging of Oak-Lawn Assembly of God and Magnolia Park Assembly of God formed this church in 1976. Don and Susan Nordin are pastors of the church located at 9701 Almeda Genoa Road. (http://www.southbeltleader.com/churches.html)

    Truth hurts, but it's still the truth. When Target sees that it can make as much money as it deems necessary, it will likely open a location downtown.

    I'm sure if Target execs thought they could make good money in a downtown Houston location, there would be one.

    Who is protesting? I'm just disagreeing with you, because I think you're wrong.

    You're a liar, apparently, since you did just call me a name. Look, I know you probably are deeply in love with your idea of a perfect "downtown" filled with soaring skyscrapers, etc. It's also possible for others, i.e. me, to prefer development to go in another direction. Architecture isn't just about BIG buildings. I find great joy in a perfectly designed farmhouse and well-thought-out neighborhood of affordable homes. I wish the city government had spent as much money on revitalizing areas where poor people could still afford to live, but that's never going to happen when developers are the ones keeping the politicians' pockets lined with cash.

    Take away the tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks and subsidies, and it likely wouldn't be. You guys all seem to have hard-ons for downtown to be Manhattan Southwest. I would like to see it fade away into being just another part of Houston. We will never agree, so I will leave it at that.

    You seem to be unclear on the whole "jogging" concept. Most runners I know (hundreds) really prefer to have long, uninterrupted stretches to run on. Stopping every hundred yards kind of defeats the purpose. But hey, whatever kills downtown, I'm all for it.

    Main as a pedestrian/jogger/biker path, exclusively? Ooooooookay. Only 30 or so cross streets to navigate. That's gonna be one helluva joggus interruptus.

    That's gotta limit the walkability somewhat

    I drove by there Thursday. Wacky looking building, but I really like it so far!

    If you think this is going to happen without the eventual infusion of taxpayer dollars, you're deluded. Elon Musk's space ventures aren't trying to invade on private property, AFAIK, so I don't care how he wastes his money.

    I'm in favor of a good old bloody fight to the death over this useless boondoggle. Plus, I hope many of you lose your homes and property in similar fashion. You know, just to be fair

    No way on earth they should be granted any eminent domain relief for a private venture. As long as the landowners in the countryside between here and Dallas don't want this, it won't and shouldn't happen.

    Even better, the train will eventually be powered by unicorn wings. This project will not happen for many years, if ever.

    Name it "Boondoggle, Never Gonna Happen" station.

    Good old South West Trains. Definitely NOT India.

    Rich to me = people able to pay $3000+ a month for a 1000sf place. YMMV
