Yeah, I just read that this morning. I hope the Taco Cabana doesn't pull through.

Anything more on this?

Fort Bend nonprofit tries again after homes for abused women blocked - Houston Chronicle

Last summer, the Fort Bend Women's Center seemed to be on secure footing in its effort to build an affordable housing development in the Richmond area. The nonprofit had land under contract and had secured about $15 million in state-issued tax credits to help finance the project.

Future residents of the 104-unit development, Magnolia Gardens, would include women who had survived domestic violence, along with their children. Often, these women are poor because their abusers have prevented them from working or going to school. The women's center was struggling to find safe, affordable units for its clients elsewhere in Fort Bend County, so it decided to build a new facility.

But residents of Long Meadow Farms, a master-planned community near the site, responded with alarm when they learned about the project. As I explained in a column last August, the residents' online petition cited issues frequently raised by opponents of subsidized housing: traffic congestion, flooding, overcrowded schools. It also mentioned "concerns about future expansion or other support for low-income families."
In other words, Not In My Backyard.

It will be interesting to see the new concept store, but that 10 minute parking lot will be a joke, no doubt.

Thanks!

It's going to be weird adjusting to life in the suburbs, all these concerns I have never given a thought to before.

Any word on the incoming stores around target and around the theatre? Raising Canes coming. Lopez coming.

those suburbs are in no-man's land in terms of just county governance, no city and with the abundance of open land and less restrictions makes it more attractive. And those types of places catering to these issues are no longer an "inner-city" issue.
