    It's planned for N Main up to Airline currently.

    They can waste their own money all they want. The problem is they're wasting other people's money.

    This also isnt actually all that close to the Sawyer Target. It's actually a little further than the existing one at Westheimer and Shepherd.

    Hubris? At an architecture firm? Perish the thought.

    Wow, that's surprising. Put them everywhere then! Simultaneously fix the problem of puddling at ramps every time it rains!

    I was genuinely wondering what was taking you so long to correct my imperfect use of "value engineering" Luminare. From what I've heard, the change in architects was somewhat of a surprise to at least some involved though. Not value engineering in the technical sense, but morally equivalent (just at a much earlier phase in the design process).

    ...are they... going to fix it?

    Ok this might be too many Japanese restaurants on this stretch of westheimer

    Actually this is the result of value engineering. Otherwise we would have gotten James Corner's original design. Maybe the lesson is actually start with best project you possibly can so it stays impressive *even after* being value engineered.

    I can live with it at this location.

    I think they're also still building out the charging system.

    With the little peaks they're showing into the windows it looks like at least 8 units. This is such a fantastic scale. That's my biggest disappointment with the livable places/multi-unit residential platting update ordinance - the 30' height limit. Hug improvement over the current 2unit limit, but id love to see these little 5 story guys made as easy to develop as possible.

    Hmmm. These are some of the best late mid-century apartments in this part of town. I have a bad feeling anything replacing them will be worse.

    Ugh what a stupid mess. This should all have been clear when the agreement was made, and airing it in public like this is a *bad* sign.
  15. Texasota
    Eh, anything would be better than the "decorative" nonsense that's there now. Close the tiny bit of street that separates it from the apartments/restraurant and make it a usable space. Paving, seating, more trees...

    I actually don't mind the small block staying a lawn. Not generally a fan of green space for its own sake, but this is well placed and a nice size.
  17. Texasota
    Ok that seems like a banworthy post to me.
  18. Texasota
    Why do I feel like they've done this poorly and are just going to dump runoff into the house's foundation.

    People are afraid of house parties. Perhaps Montrose really is dead.

    I don't live in the suburbs. I don't live in Houston either currently but I lived on Stanford (among other places) for a while. I have immediate family and close friends in Montrose and Rice Military so I'm in town quite frequently. The details definitely matter here, but there basically are none in that article. Is your opposition to this specific person, or to the general idea of short term rentals?
  21. Texasota
    To be fair, I hate that they tore down the existing triplex/fourplex. Hopefully it will be replaced with something bigger at least, but now they have to add off-street parking somewhere.
  22. Texasota
    Um, based on the information above I'm inclined to support this project. Dedicated short-term rental/ quasi-hotel options are super useful in Montrose.
  23. Texasota
    Luckily Metro is planning to fix at least that problem - the green/purple tracks will become transit only as part of the Inner Katy BRT project.
  24. Texasota
    They should replace one of the parking lots with a fenced dog park.
  25. Texasota
    oh come on.
