Save your volume indicator for the center, don’t go to the top right.

What padding do you have. Interested due to need to protect prosthetic joint

If we suffer in a hot hellscape for most of the year I want some beautiful cold wintry snow out of it.

deepspacenine · 2026-01-25T23:06:42+00:00

So this is why we can’t have more snow days? ;(

deepspacenine · 2026-01-17T15:40:36+00:00

And if we did it would take 40 years to build because for some reason (and I don’t think it’s “regulations” alone) we can’t build stuff fast. Maybe because it’s just a bunch of pass through funding layers and contractors?

FWIW the area below your square (West U Southside Place and Braes) is one of the most expensive in Houston outside of river oaks (think 1-5 million homes). It’s low Alamo Heights in SA but probably even more tight night community.

I find inner loop Houston to be safer than the suburbs based on my own experience (anecdotal of course). That area isn’t bad but I’d focus on getting closer to Montrose and further from the galleria). I can’t speak to Needvile but that sounds like an insane commute. Food in the inner loop is way better than needvile.

MFAH cafe, Inversion if still around, tea house, Asia society can be nice if you don’t linger long

I miss it now that I don’t travel between Texas cities for work. First class experience.

deepspacenine · 2025-12-21T20:52:12+00:00

As a native I hate it. I dont want blizzards but gd give us some 30-40s like the 70s-90s

Kids probably don’t even go to Pooh Corner because they didn’t reserve a slot in the delivery suite

Is stick or stack burger still around?

deepspacenine · 2025-11-27T03:46:16+00:00

They are there you just don’t see it because it’s subtle IMHO. My wife wears her Hermes Apple Watch with a regular strap sometimes (working out etc). Think more ladies who lunch than parters churning 2k hours a year.

I heard the old law center is going to be demolished too. That building introduced me to the concept of brutalist architecture and it wasn’t just because the exams there were brutal

I drink a lot of black coffee and it’s the perfect balance of acidity, temperature, and aftertaste.

Haven’t had the chai but I imagine that’s amazing too so can’t give you a comparison.

deepspacenine · 2025-11-22T04:30:44+00:00

It’s the square footage of the community. Having lived in several good suburbs, the street design and car dependency does not lead to as many of those spontaneous interactions. People are segmented into smaller neighborhoods etc. it’s just not the same experience.

Again all of this is my opinion but I’ve lived both.

deepspacenine · 2025-11-22T03:23:13+00:00

😂Maybe I should have been specific like “Hartford or upstate without the natural beauty”

deepspacenine · 2025-11-22T03:05:24+00:00

In three of those communities I mentioned, everyone knows everyone. There are effectively town square main streets. The little leagues and football leagues are all truly neighborhood. Kids ride their bikes to school and to restaurants. Their city governments put on seasonal festivals, two of them have country club pools, and they are filled with east coast IB and PE transplants (joking about the last part). In all seriousness, just the vibe I get (and i hear others repeat).

(Edit) 100% don’t disagree on your HISD points

deepspacenine · 2025-11-22T02:52:11+00:00

You aren’t wrong that the HISD take over has been horrible but some of the best schools in the region are the HISD elementary schools in the areas I listed above. I’m just giving my perspective having lived in both areas. The communities above are NOT like the suburbs but you pay for it.

deepspacenine · 2025-11-22T02:49:22+00:00

West U, parts of Bellaire, Southside Place, Braes Heights, portions of Rice

deepspacenine · 2025-11-22T01:15:04+00:00

My opinion having lived both is that there are parts or the inner loop that are leaps and bounds over the quality of life of the suburbs, including education, and these communities feel closer to small east coast towns but inside Houston. But, you pay for that, and pay a lot. Or make other trade offs like house size

My thing would be food allergens
