    With a spike in the working poor and racial poverty, Dallas ranks 274th — out of 274 — in ‘inclusive recoveries.’ https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/09/11/boomtown-blues-dallas-worst-sharing-prosperity-people-color

    The plan is to "Re-life or replace" the subway train system. • Design Services in FY-2020 • Construction in FY-2022

    Why would the Freed Library be moving?

    Cool. Thanks.

    Very exciting! Thanks for the thorough report, wilcal. Whose open house was this?
  6. Houston19514
    Indeed. I think you can already count them on one hand, most of them multimillion estate homes south of Bissonnet (and none of them on the subject block.)

    Where are the single family homes on the block in question? I cannot find any.

    Here's another suggestion: Chronicle

    I think the latest information is that they hope to start construction in 2019 and it will take 4-5 years to build.

    I kinda doubt that Wyndham is long for this world. Probably not worth applying lipstick.

    It's going to be more than 12 stories, is it not? I think it's about 16 stories (on top of the existing structure).

    I think they do: https://www.hines.com/properties?isSidebarOpen=true&loc=-48.92249926375823|-149.765625|78.20656311074711|169.45312499999997&product_type_name_in=Condominiums

    It came from this New Development Map that was referenced in another thread https://www.berkadia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Q2-2018-New-Development-Maps_Houston-FINAL.pdf

    2nd Quarter, 2018: A net 502 units were absorbed in the CBD, while 220 new units were delivered. Absorption accelerated from recent quarters (1st quarter absorption was 205). (Assuming 1.4 people per occupied apartment, downtown added almost 250 people per month during the 2nd quarter.) Occupancy rate increased to 78.5%. At that pace of absorption, and including the 271 units that were under construction, we only have about 3 quarters' worth of inventory. Time to start building some more! The "Central Houston" market (downtown, Montrose/Museum/Midtown, Heights/Wash Ave., Highland Village/Upper Kirby/West U, and Med Center/Braes Bayou) delivered 410 new units during the quarter, with 1,097 units net absorption.

    Just a Back of the envelope estimate: I'd say right around 7,500.
  16. Houston19514
    That's the plan

    Actually, on a per mile basis (and one presumes per Dollar invested) , it is projected to serve significantly more people than the University Line.
  18. Houston19514
    Yes it is. And in the presentation they made a point about how many people would benefit from this service.
  19. Houston19514
    Why would the travel time double? The purple line extension to Bellfort is only 2.5 miles with 4 stations. Another mile to Hobby.
  20. Houston19514
    It seems the red line extension is not at all for connecting Hobby to downtown. The purple line would be much more direct. Maybe 35 minutes?

    You want the Texas Bullet Train Terminal there because mail used to travel with passenger trains???? ;-)
  23. Houston19514
    But this line is not planned to run alongside a freeway. I suspect it will have fewer stops per mile, but still, 12 minutes seems ambitious. I hope it's feasible.
  24. Houston19514
    LOL oops. I even did a search for "393".
