I use Kuykendahl almost daily but never venture further south than Creekside Park but 1488 is becoming a disgusting monstrosity.

i am more talking about the start around 45 to grand parkway stretch.

I'll take Houston traffic any day over dealing with parts of 1488. Truckers with Oilfield pipe battling it out with moms leaving HEB to get Suzy to Gymnastics. It is a shite show over there

Based. The burbs are terrible and bankrupting us all. Old frick Whitmire selling away land in downtown to expand 45 to bend the knee to the suburbs is such horseshite.

Abbie voted against it thankfully. Why the frick can the City of Houston not stand up for itself and tell the suburb bros to get fricked?

We do not need more lanes and more frickin highways in the city, we need less

same for the shepard redesign. frick whit for stopping it mid project.

Even if you hate it, absolutely retarded to stop construction 1/3 of the way into it. The finished parts of shepard are so much nicer now too

Exactly. My girlfriend lives off of 20th so I have been over near that area more recently and it is so much nicer.

frickin retard dinosaurs stopping shite that is making the city better. So frustrating.

Thanks obama

The only thing I have done is to immediately buy any land in my area that comes up for sale in order to prevent development. Once a developer has purchased the land, stopping the downward spiral is much more difficult.

People like you and other NIMBY's are the reason why we have a housing crisis bc every Betty and Joe doesn't want new housing built by them. Well F*CK Betty and Joe. We need as much housing as possible to increase supply and lower price. F*ck any NIMBY that doesn't want new housing by them. I hope they implode with housing in your area.

Found the person who has never owned property in their life or if they have it's a POS in a POS area

Same thing is happening here. Apartments are going to be outside of the city, but in the school district. Don't know how big it will be, bit it probably won't be the only complex in that area.

I don’t want Section 8 and ghetto or apts near me. If it makes me NIMBY, good and don’t care.

I'm a NIMBY and proud of it. Anyone who wants to see their home values remain steady and rise as opposed to plummet SHOULD be a NIMBY. Screw all you morons who want to put cheap, high density housing any and everywhere you can.

It is about building multi-use neighborhoods that put people first and not your shitty F-150. Building a neighborhood where all your necessities are within walking distance is how cities were designed before cars.

The suburbs are dumb and gay and going to bankrupt us all. You can skyscream all you want but suburbs were a terrible idea.

It's more about value going lower and being forced to be around people who will make the area worse and contribute nothing but crime.

My area was more rural than suburb. That's changed now.

So everyone should be forced to live around people whose values they don't share? I have no desire to live next to criminals. I'd rather drive 15 minutes to HEB than walk there and get mugged by some low life piece of shite thug.

Some people don't like city life or living on top of each other. Deal with it.

I think the fundamental problem is that people can't accept that things aren't equal and they never will be.

Some people work hard and are successful. Some are born into money. Some are born in the hood and make their way out through hard work. Everyone's path is different. We can't magically create an even slate for everyone at birth.

I was lower middle class and worked my way up a notch to middle/upper middle. Will I ever be rich like some of the folks I know who inherited 1,000 acre ranches? No. Deal with it same way people born in the hood have to.

Should I be able to put my couple acres in the middle of some ranchers; land at a below market price? No. It's not apples to apples scenario because it's not my land where the new apartments are going but the point stands that it makes no fricking sense.
