You guys couldn't hit the Hanszen tower balcony with a gazilcher if you tried. Not that the "new section" doesn't need to be bulldozed anyway. ("Too old" and/or "not involved enough in daily campus life in the past decade" were the other two choices.) @Ross, Sid has always sucked.

During my time at Rice, Martel didn't exist, there were only two coed colleges, and Sid Rich was widely proclaimed to be the best college on campus, which is probably still true. 30+ years makes a difference.

It's risky enough building a project like this, so it's hard to blame them.

It's that simple. You may not like it (and I may not) but apparently buyers like it and that's who the developers are building for. Maggie: People build what they think people want. It’s that simple.

GEEEEEZ, everything looks the same here in Houston. Look at other cities and all the projects look different. In Houston, everything starts looking generic and uninteresting. It's going to look really boring in a few years when all the neighborhods start looking the same, from inner loop to Pearland to Katy. Ugh. Can we PLEASE get some creativity in design around here?

That said, I very much enjoyed dating women from there, and my roommate for Junior year was a Martelian.
