    Keep Houston Houston has a good thought exercise posted on SF density constraints.

    I think a pizza hut used to be located here.

    If it looks dangerous to you than you're probably a puppy. Nice word change.

    I highlighted the operable words here.What is practicable is staying alive; riding in the gutter is asking to get side swiped for which you have no legal protections. Also reasonable flow of traffic means no freeway riding since ONLY freeways have speed minimums. There's nothing against the law as far as driving slower than the rest of traffic, my grandfather does it all the time. IMO the laws need to be amended to better protect bike riders; that's why I'm waiting for a good ole case of Texas justice to arise where a bike rider shoots and kills a driver who appears to "threaten" the rider. It's just a matter of time; so to all my bike riding friends I say "roll strapped!" Take that as fair warning drivers, I'll shoot you 1st and ask questions later.

    Another corollary thought is that perhaps one way to alleviate some of the problems of elevated inner city freeways is to repave them with polymer aggregates to improve porosity, runoff, lessen tire wear, noise, bass vibrations etc.

    @Niche A passing thought in the greater context.. http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/12/health/diesel-fumes-cancer/index.html Good point. I was thinking this is not a bad idea (the roundabout loop) but we probably are quite a ways off before it's even necessary. Hopefully automated cars will solve most rush-hour congestion issues in the next coming decade. As a resident, the problem with a demo of 2016 Main St. is that it's not a true steel curtain wall bldg. It's a solid, slip-formed brutalist concrete tower that would take a lot of jack hammers to take it down without closing the freeway and adjacent Gray St. Implosion is really the only way and then it would take a lot of cat herdering.

    Now that diesel exhaust has been medically and therefore legally determined to be a known carcinogen then it's highly unlikely that any vertical expansion of the PE will pass any DEIS. They just don't build'm like they use to.

    ^That's the vets place on the other side of the spur. Richmond Landing is only a couple floors outta the ground.

    The first spandrel glass panels have been affixed at the top of the eastern curtain wall. I'll post pics later tonight.

    It would be cool if we had a Wuppertal Schwebebahn-like train over the bayous instead

    They've also developed some real beauts in trophy locations.

    Your more likely to give money to someone of the same race as yourself than someone of a different race.

    Reminds me of a sketch from Lars Lerup's After the City that describes this area as the "zoomorphic."

    All malls/shopping centers must renovate periodically or be deemed obsolete; this has been going on roughly since A/C was invented. 2027's headline: Midway proposes Fuller-esque geodesic dome to condition outdoor space of City Centre complex.
