    In a smaller sense I would point to Bob Schultz with the Mid-Main projects. That includes: Renovating existing buildings, Constructing new buildings Working with MATCH on shared parking and ultimately almost single-handedly establishing Mid-Main as a neighborhood.

    I believe that's part of what the office tower/ parking garage going in across the street will be for. Of course that hasn't broken ground yet.
  3. Texasota
    no, wait, roughly 100.
  4. Texasota
    ugh, the city will require like 90 parking spaces for this. that's a big surface lot.

    This is going to be fun to watch. It's overall my favorite project going up right now.

    ...it's residential above ground floor retail...

    i like it, but i wish the garage access and loading docks were all off of Rosalie rather than Milam and Louisiana
  8. Texasota
    That's actually an improvement.

    The midtown Fiesta is actually surprisingly fantastic, but it's too far away from downtown.
  10. Texasota
    bueno...muy bueno. The more variety downtown the better.

    Yeah I think the location was a bigger part of Little Bigs' success then they realize. I for one am much less likely to go to their new location.

    Eh, I went this year. At no point did anything seem remotely dangerous.

    Maybe not on Westheimer itself, but there's still plenty of gay community near the old parade route, and think about the concentration of gay bars that still exists along Pacific and Fairview/Tuam. Besides, its not just actual gay people who enjoy pride.

    its a carribean restaurant. behind jet

    This is a fantastic idea. Guerilla People's Pride Parade.
  16. Texasota
    Not sure. I'll try to look again this evening. Assuming its a bar or restaurant.
  17. Texasota
    This is a terrible idea. A huge part of the appeal of Pride is everything that goes on *around* it- the bars, shops, restaurants, house parties etc. FPSF leaving the city seems terrible too. Everything about this thread is terrible.

    It's coming soon apparently. Little building south of TC.
  19. Texasota
    eh, assuming thats $2500 after tax then its actually more likely to be more like $850 a month on rent. And actually people are spending more on rent proportionally than they used to; in a lot of cities its creeping up to 50%. Not that that's a particularly good idea of course.

    ooooh ooooh, he actually called 9/11 a "false flag"! That's pretty great. I don't think I've ever seen that said seriously before.

    Excellent job of completely missing what I said. Builders build what makes them the most profit, because that's the definition of capitalism. Generally they DO follow "what people want", or at least what some subset of people want, but they tend to take a very short term view of things. Builders do not like risk, so if they've been doing something that's made them money in the past, then they're pretty likely to continue doing it until it stops making them money, regardless of what people "want".
  22. Texasota
    Builders do not build what people want. They build whatever will earn them the most money. That's not always the same thing.

    Well, except for Post Midtown, if you don't think too hard about the social/moral implications of displacing what and who used to be there. But really any number of individual project built on the original street grid, taken together: Mid Main, the Match, the downtown Skyhouses, Hines Market Square, the Superblock, etc ...the Google crowd? What?
  24. Texasota
    It's really east and distinct from the Justice District. I like South Frost Town. Didn't part of Frost Town used to be called the Scorpion? How about the Tail of the Scorpion?
  25. Texasota
    Yes but what if you live in City Centre and want to walk to Barnes & Noble?
