Surface parking is an untapped gold mine of value, especially city-owned lots. Here’s the surface parking acreage within Houston city limits. Some of the city’s most valuable land is parking lots generating little property tax and near-zero sales tax. Your taxes subsidize those lots downtown.

there are engineers who would kill for community consensus on safety infra like this and here we have the city and local development zone throwing it out.

therealspike.bsky.social @therealspike.bsky.social · 15/02/2026
think about it: we know those safety features the city has removed from plans all over the city save lives. its systematic neglect that results in excess suffering or worse. these are immoral people, its social murder in the truest sense of the term

the way in which the montrose tirz and its engineers use the language of safety while pushing through oversized roads and failing to use all kinds of safety infrastructure is genuinely disgusting

500ft from freeways to avoid traffic related air pollution. Air pollution kills millions of people every year! Stresses your body out, harder to breath, get sicker easier, heart stress. Don't live next to a freeway if you can help it

I need to investigate how Law Harrington Center ended up on Hutchins st. The best guidance on the locating of sensitive uses (schools, senior centers) says they should be more than 500 ft from a freeway (or road with 100,000 Average Daily Traffic). Does this look like 500 ft?

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

lambasting the toll roads is such a silly opinion. Its no pinata lol. Its roads that actually pay for themselves, unlike the interstates and state roads. Tolls raising 100M each year to be used for trails, sidewalks, etc is one of the good policies going on here!

Dirt and debris and water fill every single crosswalk in the city. It’s easy for me to go around cause I’m perfectly mobile and can step onto the curb. I don’t know what the city expects you to do if you’re in a wheelchair or have any kind of mobility issue.

CM Amy Peck has given up enforcing the no applauding rule. Lots of searing public comments. At one point the mayor left the room and the crowd started chanting + demanding he return and listen.

the bike lane hysteria is completely unacceptable. Park on a side street, learn how to NOT to hit the curb- get a grip. a 14 year old boy was abducted and removed from his family for weeks and the mayor called the system a "national model": www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

Houston police broke a family. Whitmire calls it a national model. | Editorial
At the end of the day, a mother is still without her son tonight. A scared teen is still without his mom. For no good reason. Shouldn’t that be of concern to Houston's leaders?

Speaker shares how the removal of Austin st bikeway has made it harder and more dangerous to get to downtown, discouraging visiting discovery green among other attractions. Points this the red line’s being sabotaged- what transportation options are still available to midtowners?

@PureJustice_HTX is here in numbers pointing out how seemingly ordinary traffic stops are resulting in violent police arrests, ICE calls or worse. This is what an enforcement only approach to traffic violence will result in.

@LINK_Houston presented their petition calling on the city to restore the red line’s signal priority. 670+ have signed pleading for reliable, speedy, rapid transit. The city has restored transit signal priority in most of midtown/downtown but not all of them
