1557 Stacy BlackardI live on Bartlett (in between North & South Blvd.) and DO NOT want this high rise built. There is way too much traffic as it is and this will just cause more problems than the streets are equipped to handle.
1558 THINK IT OVERYou guys have it lucky to be living in a posh neighborhood as West U, consider all the open space in houston today and compare it to other metropolitan cities around the world. As we keep growing in population, the natural course of people of people will be to continue to migrate from large city to city to look for new opporutinty. Allow those that move throughout the world a place to buy and call Houston a home as well with these types of Condo and high-density developments. Living in a building with common use features like condos and townhomes offer more than just large shadows across the landscape, they take less resources to operate for the greater number of people. Sure there is money to be made by the developers, with condo prices well above $250sqft in some locations and large monthly maintenance fees, but in the overall content, the impact is less on the planet, than your single family home that covers over 8000+ sqft.
1559 Preserve Houston!I thought it over and sure enough, still feel the same. Somebody just doesn't get it. Pul-eeze! Anyone who can afford to live in this high rise can certainly afford to pay a mortgage on an existing single family home or rent one, if they want to live in this area so badly! Cutting down beautiful, aged trees and creating more traffic and exhaust are not steps taken forward where preserving resources are concerned. What we'd like to see is a neighborhood preserved. It's a simplified notion to imply that rich West U people just don't want to be bothered with this development. I do not live in West U, I'm a Montrose girl, yet I completely understand the significance of this location. For many of my 33 years in Houston, I have taken pride in this area...and I don't even live there! If you truly get the culture of our Inner Loop area at all, you would know that this development proves detrimental in more ways than one. Shame, shame shame on those who think this is no biggie or that it is somehow a plus for the community. What's even more shameful are the developers who continue on with this disaster of a plan even with all the yellow signs of protest as far as the eye can see.

1566 AnonymousUntil the roads are improved its not prudent to continue the building pace in the area. Just drive down Kirby and you will understand.

1571 KevinRice village and it's surrounding areas are some of the most beautiful parts of the city. Leave the beautiful old parts of the city alone and redevelop areas that are falling apart. Build this high rise by U of H.

1575 Nancy FarrI can't imagine anything more undesireable and unattractive than a highrise with 9000 square feet of retail space in one of Houston's lovliest old neighborhoods. Such a structure would destroy the whole tenor of the Museum District and Southampton.

1578 Monica SledgePreservation of the existing neighborhood is far more important to me and my family than expanding it for more traffic and the disrespect of a quiet area. Houston's character has changed enough in the last 20 years. There's no reason to reinvent the home.
1579 kate kingTwo middle aged houstonians who erect cheap apartment complexes in the suburbs are now destroying one of houstons oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods. Horrible. Their poor children.

1584 Mary Flood NugentThis project threatens the beauty and livability of the Southampton neighborhood, Rice University, the Village, and surrounding areas. It does not represent good planning for the area's economic vibrancy, social equity and land use. It is out of sync with the people who live in the area, and will not enhance the experience of business owners, residents or visitors to the area. Please exercise your expert judgment as representatives of all the people of Houston to stop this project.
1585 Amy LiuPlease stop the high rise development in the beloved West U area to preserve its character and integrity.

1589 Benjamin TerracinaAs an intern architect, the architects responsible for this project give us a bad name. Their insensitivity and greed is unacceptable.

1600 JonathanHigh Rises should not be built as analternative to preserving historic neighborhoods. They should only be built in NEW developing areas.
