I think I’m going to take up a collection and get some “Build Ashby High Rise NOW!” signs made to go place all around West U.
“Bad-faith 311 calls are of course a time-honored tradition amongst Houston’s douchier set…”
I prefer to say “amongst Houston’s more pretentious set” but not everyone is so polite I guess. No doubt the 311 system will be receiving so many complaints about 1717 Bissonnet the city may have to set up a seperate system just for them. Maybe they can use 1717. Makes it easier to remember.
It will be profoundly disappointing if our Legislature fails to address our state’s water needs. It’s really unforgivable.
Alligator Snapping Turtles are not endangered. Don’t journalists usually research their subject before writing about them?
