^ Houston has a strange palette for a faux "cleanliness" perhaps this has to do with it's obsession with the "ephemeral" (ref Cite) and Fox's "amnesia city". I'm from New Orleans where the opposite is the fact of life; dirty parts of town that reflect the "messy vitality" that is the life lived passionately. Although I must complement: Montrose, Museum District/Rice University, 3rd Ward, and the Heights neighborhoods.

why are developers so focused on bringing retail to downtown? downtown needs more easily accessable grocery stores imo

A FRIEND OF MINE ALSO RENTS AT HOUSTON HOUSE APARTMENTS FOR LESS THAN $800 FOR A SINGLE. THEY HAVE A DORMITORY FEEL TO THEM, BUT I'VE ALSO BEEN IN ONE OF THE PENTHOUSES; WHICH WAS RATHER NICE BUT SMALL.

THAT BUILDING IS A "TEAR DOWN"
