Rediscovering Urban Life

hat's it like for the people who live downtown? The answers range from pretty good to pretty great...But living in the heart of Houston also has its disappointments...In any case, Houston still has plenty of dirt downtown to redevelop...Many property owners cling to the notion that some developer will make them rich by building an office tower on their property. These owners are not being realistic...The redevelopment process is in its early stages, and the work to come will take just as much creativity and hard work as has the recent substantial progress. My biggest fear is that people are going to think that now that we have the rail and the hotels and the sports facilities, downtown will take care of itself. It won't.
