And congrats to whoever was fighting for this. It's interesting to see people's perceptions and also to see them complain and get it their way for once

I'm so glad for the residents of Sugar Land. This is why Sugar Land will continue to prosper, because the city and it's residents protect their investment.

Trying to convince Harris County to do the same is like arguing with a tree.

Perhaps you can cite some precedence where zoning is done at a county level.

Maybe not zoning. But Harris County needs much tougher building codes to prevent huge apartment complexes.

Some apartment complexes remain nice, others not so nice. There are too many factors that go into how an area gentrifies.

Just because someone is rolling in the dough today does not guarantee that the same ones trying to throw a stone will not be in the same boat someday...just look at the enron collapse...when some people lost everything with the tap of a keystroke......

Where's this at again? When's the groundbreaking? I'll help build this thing. I'll even sign a waiver saying I won't rob anyone or break into any cars.
Way to go dude!! rather than have a sense of compassion or empathy or for that matter: there but for the Grace of God... .pass me the shovel...!!

Thumbs up Great news!

Just received word from Robbye Meyer at TDHCA -

Likely due to pressure from area residents and revelations brought to light by the area civic group United77498, Goldshire has officially withdrawn their application as of today!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to send in opposition letters to TDHCA. Final count was 2,605 opposition letters!

You can bet United77498 will be keeping watch on future developments in this area and keep working for you, the residents. Stay tuned.
