I live near the San Felipe/Hines project site and drive by it daily – the incremental impact to the traffic should be minimal, especially if they widen San Felipe to 4 lanes between Kirby and Shepherd, which they should have done already. 9 levels of office space isn’t much.

I travel San Filipe all the time thru this area …. it’s not that bad at all. Now if you compare it to the rather private streets of River Oaks …. maybe. I mean, how will all the maids get to work on time???
Re: WR
Don’t forget the lumbering lawn care convoys.
If flood insurance becomes as expensive as predicted by the Chron article, it would make large parts of Houston financially uninhabitable. Folks owning property in the Heights now have even more reason to be pleased with themselves.
Somehow, when I saw the phrase “Reason Foundation” I had a pretty accurate premonition of where that article was going.
I wonder if those folks are aware that the modest suggestion based on the nutritional value of the children of the poor was satire?
a much better questions is why should san felipe not have more traffic. they said it themselves in the article, the streets around there are already choked. well duh, so shouldn’t we be making better use of the public roads that aren’t choked, it’s not residential.
