If you are talking about the walmart that's just inside the 610 loop, that is not downtown. There are no suburban wal marts in downtown Houston. Once again, you have lied. And I said they are building town homes in the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Houston. Just like every other city is doing or historically did in the nation. You also do realize that Dallas has a wal mart neighborhood store not very far from downtown.
Correction I said the core not downtown so no it wasn't a lie, I've said from the very beginning that this discussion is about the citie's core.
Of course townhouses create density but not to the level a 10-20-30 story building would correct? I'm not arguing that the core of Houston will never see 10,000 + ppsm as I'm sure it will, but I am arguing that cities like Atlanta and Dallas that use better planning and zoning will create a better utilized use of land in the core giving those cities more density and a more lively downtown core.
no you arue which would hit it first.. given that Houston already has the highest level of It right now, then by logic is all stay on course Houston would hit it first... Just common sense

You were yalking about the core when you said ppsq .. walmart was nowhere near that ...You said Donwtown when talking about walmart.. just say you were mis informed be done with it geez.. Instead of trying to keep of this charde that you are a Houston expert based on the fact that you lived here like 10 years ago are something... Just say hey I heard that , I guess It was bad information

But you said on the last page:

even walmart has build suburban walmarts in downtown Houston, something the other 2 cities wouldn't let walmart get away with.
Keep digging that hole. If you're talking about the reference to the tow homes, I was speaking about what is being built surrounding the downtown core, not in downtown. And most of the growing population if the areas immediately surrounding downtown is in the midrises variety such as post oak developments.

Well I was mainly talking about the townhouses, in this day and age the fact that Houston is building them in the core says a lot in which way Houston is heading vs the other cities.

Greater Density ???? Which you just confrimed Town Homes do add to density not even four post ago ??
Yea it creates density I wouldn't call it great though
Why not ???? What does 25 townhomes on a block lack that A seven story does not ?? . Exceptly given that these townhomes sit in major urban areas, robbing them of known of the amedites that go into urban lving, like bars in walkable distance, retail, access to mass transit, restraunts..etc
in fact most times they are being built next to each other
You know who mostly buys town houses the empty nesters, and the 7 story with a bar on the ground floor young professinals.. Why would I not build to meet that market.. with all that disposbale income.. They are the one who will be at the corner cafe at 11 i the morning, they are the one who visit mom and pop places for shopping...
