Parrothead Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I drove through Memorial Bend today (the section inside the Tollway). I was saddened to see at least FOUR homes that have been bought up by a company called Metropolitan Homes for tear-downs. Not necessarily MCM's, but that's just because MH hasn't had the right opp'y to get one and shred it. Apparently Martha Turner Properties has all the listings for them. I am quite down about this; though it isn't entirely unexpected, I am a little surprised at the lack of voices being heard (if there are any) in the neighborhood against this type of thing. Something akin to what the folks along Bunker Hill Rd (N. of I-10) are doing, a "grassroots" type deal. :closedeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdago Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 These developers could give two @$#% about the neighborhood - they're just after the money. Besides, "working class people" don't buy $900,000 houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin'enKan Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Parrothead-Please elaborate on the "grassroots" work the folks on Bunker Hill Road are doing, has it been successful? Goodness knows there are plenty of MB owners who want to save the architectural heritage of the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Apparently. they are looking to expand Bunker Hill from I-10 past Westview--and it will not only take out homes in the area, but the elementary school and all of the huge trees that line it. They have a big awareness campaign that they are trying to promote, but mostly it is seen along Bunker Hill with tons of signage about it.Time will tell!
