I will always hate the mayor because there is zero reason why a 10ft wide shared use path can’t fit in here, he’s just a awful spiteful person

If you care about building a safer and more beautiful corridor to Buffalo Bayou, tomorrow is your last chance to demand the Montrose TIRZ Board vote NO on the city’s dangerous redesign of the Montrose Blvd Improvement Project. 6:30p at the Havens Center or on Zoom montrosehtx.org/meeting/febr...

Linguistically, I find the whole insistence on using the new name for the gulf funny because the English name for basically every Asian country is an exonym established several hundred years ago

I can’t believe the timeline led to a series of events where Kathy Hochul is the good guy after all the congestion pricing shenanigans

I just hate how even TXDot is like “yeah shared use paths need at least 10ft”, like even TXDot gets it but the mayor doesn’t. It’s like he’s never been to Buffalo bayou on a Friday evening ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot-in...

I don’t know how the whole MAHA thing is supposed to work, when I was a kid they tried to limit the size of sodas in NYC and people lost their minds

Huge win for the polio lobby today

What I genuinely don’t get about Texas republicans is that like they complain but then don’t do anything to address what they’re complaining about. Like if you only look at this logistically there is physically not enough jail space but they don’t talk about infrastructure just complain about people

I’m not an economist but I don’t see how making steel and aluminum more expensive helps people build things in this country

I always find it funny how much local support sports teams have here despite the fact that we don’t do relegation like in Europe. Like the owners could decide to just pack up and leave a city next season if they think they get more money somewhere else

If the sunset district in San Francisco had Paris densities none of this would be happening

I like how, despite having basically no power whatsoever, the democrats secretly run Texas

Kinda feels like Trump policies are tailor made to exclusively screw over Houston worse than anywhere else

I just think it’s funny the republicans ran a whole campaign that was like “they just want to talk about genders and don’t care about the price of eggs” and now that they’re in charge all they do is talk about genders and don’t care about the price of eggs

I feel like the “privatize everything” crowd doesn’t get that for stuff like schooling the govt is still gonna have to pay for it but instead of providing the service at cost there’s gonna be a profit seeking middle man skimming off the top

Thank you Commissioner Ellis for the new bridge

Planes are literally falling out of the sky now, someoneplease put Buttigieg back in

And to think they cut mural funding last year

Ugh, they’re replacing the last people on TIRZ 27 that actually care about making Montrose a better place and instead we’re gonna get more mayoral lackeys hand picked by the mayors unelected advisor

They should take one of the bubble tea places in midtown and move it to the Montrose collective, but yall aren’t ready for that conversation

I think one of the most frustrating parts of living in central houston is you can feel the bones of this place it should be as important as Manhattan, but the combination of poor leadership and the fact Texas doesn’t want any real cities and it’s just the hollow forgotten land

I think it’s funny when non-urbanists run cities, like how do you look at blocks and clocks of parking lots and storage centers in the heart of you city and think that’s ok or a sign of a healthy market
