Lisa Gray writes, “Houston gripes, anyone? Mine is how often development wipes away soulful stuff. Latest case in point: The Bellaire Broiler Burger — a portal to the 1950s, complete with excellent chili cheeseburgers — is closed."
Here's some other new development/construction woes.....
Cutter writes, “Highways, highways, highways. Sometimes it feels like a city for cars here. People are an afterthought. We're all assumed to be in a car!
JoJo writes, “I live in Montrose...They wiped out a whole block at Westheimer and Montrose... Gone was Disco Krogers, Spec's, and Half Price Books ...Now I'm hungry, thirsty, and reverting to illiteracy …And for good measure they knocked down KPFT just to make sure my heart was broken. ”
Rachel writes, “I am sad because skyrocketing property taxes, business owners retiring or dying, and galloping gentrification/yuppification are knocking out the institutions that have given our neighborhood its character, scale, and funkiness.”
Michael writes, “Houston is spending hundreds of millions on Intercontinental airport but they aren't addressing the problem: access. It's a tough drive to get to those fancy terminals and you only have one option: to drive! The original plan for IAH included rail to downtown but the cab companies killed that. Dedicated bus lanes from remote parking are needed.”
Got something you want to complain about? Are you also over all the new development? Gripe to us houston@citycast.fm
