Everything we're saying has been discussed with city council.

We need the gays and socialites to step it up a notch and aim higher than having their pictures in the Houston magazine
Lol got any sort of objective data to back anything you said there?

Seems you are just ignorant about Houston.

HP will be fine. Hopefully new owners will breathe some new life into it and make better choices. Downtown will be fine. It will slowly improve upon itself as time goes on as the surrounding areas (Midtown, Montrose, east end, and west end) keep densifying at a much faster pace.

Houstonians do not have the potential? You lost me on that one.
And do you realize we are coming out of the worst recession in American History? What do you expect to see....a building boom?

That's explains a lot.

He forget's that Houston is home to the most Fortune 500 companies outside of New York and we have the largest medical campus on earth.
You know, 2 very little things we have here.
