It looks like this project is basically going to be killed unfortunately. We’ll see next week but the FHWA under the rule of Pete B(who i am really beginning to dislike) has blocked the project. This is second project he’s done this to after working with California to stop the 710 south expansion. This is infuriating.

HOUSTON NAILS RANKING AS BUSIEST HOME CONSTRUCTION MARKET IN US

HOUSTON, Texas -- New single-family homes are popping up like mushrooms around Greater Houston, with the region nailing down its status as the busiest home construction market in the country.

Data from the National Association of Home Builders shows the Houston area issued 48,208 construction permits for single-family homes in 2020. That cements the Bayou City's status as No. 1 among U.S. metro areas for single-family construction permits handed out last year.

Following just behind is Dallas-Fort Worth, which issued 43,884 construction permits and thus landing at No. 2 overall in the U.S. for permits. The Austin area ranked fifth overall (21,653 permits).

Austin definitely picked the right time for this. Texas really should take advantage of the new infrastructure bill and go big. Build out the full HSR triangle proposal at once instead of just the Houston to Dallas line.

The Galleria’s skyline is about to change with the addition of a 43-story mixed-use project planned for one of Houston’s most prominent thoroughfares.

Houston real estate firm DeisoMoss is preparing to break ground next year on a residential, retail and office tower at 2120 Post Oak Blvd, located in the Uptown area about half mile away from the Galleria mall.

Wow, my goodness. That's a nice looking tower.

Its a real treat if you are a urban development fan, and live in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Salt Lake City, Nashville, or Charlotte these days!

And if you hate alcohol, stay in SLC. No high point beer for them. No doubles at bars, no ordering more than 1 drink at a time.

Funny you said that, because I drink every weekend, and I was born and raised in the SLC metro area.
