    Private Mortgage Insurance and Consumer Price Index?

    I imagine (because this is the Chronicle) the author has no reason to believe that other states have not done the same thing.

    Where is that quote taken from?
  4. Houston19514
    The Chronicle has predicted about 25 the last 2 slowdowns; and it's always a nightmare, a disaster, a major bust.

    Other than the extortionists, I suspect that most of those in the adjacent neighborhood will indeed be happy with this. FWIW, I'm actually in an adjacent neighborhood. I and everyone else in the neighborhood I've spoken with are thrilled with this project.

    The word is Rice Management has "begged" Fiesta to stay beyond the end of their lease. This is a long-term development plan. If Fiesta left now, we would have a vacant building or another vacant lot, probably for a number of years.

    That is a logical theory. Nothing showing up in the county records so far...

    The Mayor, the staff. All have been working closely with TxDOT on this project for years and have caused many changes to the plan. The City has also led the public outreach/feedback efforts which have also led to many changes to the plan.

    There are four blocks that are entirely surface parking (or just vacant). There is only one block that is completely built up. All other blocks have substantial amounts of surface parking, most at or above 50% of the block. Your belief about the project only adding two HOV lanes is just incorrect. www.ih45northandmore.com

    False.
  12. Houston19514
    That's significantly overstated.
  13. Houston19514
    I think it's more like 16 blocks, half of which are surface parking. Funny thing: freeway opponents often tell us that nothing worthwhile can be developed adjacent to an elevated freeway. Here, freeway opponents tell us we must not replace an elevated freeway because it would destroy all of the wonderful development adjacent to the elevated freeway.

    I don't care what letterhead was used. The fact is, the City of Houston has indeed "pushed back" on the design in very similar ways. Note that Dallas City Council has not attempted to stop the I-30 project, only to modify the design.
  15. Houston19514
    I’m not sure that’s significantly different from the process the Houston project has gone through. TxDOT has made many changes in response to city and community push back.

    Under the Heading, "Stories You Won't See in Houston Media": Houston is one of only 7 major cities with increasing transit usage.

    We often see this claim being made, but when one looks into it, one finds scant evidence of any cities that are experiencing growth anything like Houston's who are not expanding freeways. And, for what it's worth, this plan includes tearing down, removing and burying freeways. Win Win.

    Where and in what way have either Dallas or Austin been "fighting and seemingly beating TxDoT in similar battles" in any way different from what Houston is doing?
  19. Houston19514
    I don’t think that is correct. St Thomas owns everything except the library building. The city owns the library building

    65% sold prior to completion, ,according to their website. That seems like pretty decent sales.

    It might be a niche, but it's getting to be a pretty big niche in central Houston.

    It has the look of a college design or business class project.

    I think the key word on the Instagram page might be "concept." According to HCAD, the owners of 1711 Indiana appear to own nothing else on Indiana Street, or, for that matter anywhere inside the Beltway (they own another property (a house) somewhere outside the Beltway).

    There are a number ways to fix this issue: Bush Airport: #1. Check flight status on-line before going to the airport. That will take care of the vast majority of delay issues. #2. Take the subway over to the Marirott Hotel. #3. Starbucks pre-security Terminal A #4 Starbucks pre-security Terminal D #5 Subway pre-security Terminal A #6 Peet's Coffee pre-security Terminal B #7 Starbucks Terminal E International Arrivals Hall Hobby Airport: #1 Check flight status on-line before going to the airport. #2 Pappas BBQ pre-security #3 vending machines outside of security Interestingly, the Fort Worth newspaper recently had an article discussing how little business the vendors do outside of security at DFW.

    By your own analysis, geography may be A reason regarding parts of the network but it is not THE reason. As you demonstrated, they pretty much gave away the geographical advantage they enjoyed or could have enjoyed at IAH, and now that is owned by American and DFW.
