Popular Post j_cuevas713 Posted October 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) This area feels great. I hope some new developments can close the gap between DG and Main St. There was some nice energy Saturday evening downtown. Also that cooling plant needs good sidewalks. I have no idea how they’ve been able to get away with 3 foot sidewalks on each side covered in mud.

thatguysly Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Looks like they have 10-11 floors to go. I drove up 288 and through town on 45 and could see it peaking out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmitch94 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Why were so many blocks leveled, was it apart of the disastrous unban renewal movement? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) 1) Houston Center development tore down a lot. It was going to be much bigger than it ended up. 2) Parking makes more money than most tiny buildings or old houses that were torn down. 3) Zero preservation laws. We are a developer's wet dream and a preservationist's sad tears town. 4) Lots of land speculation that bombed with oil crash. Nothing of note was built in Houston, especially downtown from the time I was 12 until the time I was 25 or so. Edited to add 5) 1970s Houston was much different than today's city. The inner loop, especially the East side, was seeing population loss with a ton of white flight. Most things East of Main was seen as the ghetto. This magnified with the oil bust.
