They cannot afford the gentrified prices and won't send their kids to AISD if they can help it. It isn't going to happen. However, you can sleep easy, since the city's subdivision and site development regulations are designed to prohibit Smart Growth. Last week when I read the articles about the two new condo projects on Town Lake I felt like crying. This week I read the City Council passed the first step toward one of the condos being built and I felt like throwing up.
Town Lake is that place.
Now with all the accelerated building going on, more and more encroachments to these sacred areas will happen. Pretty soon the only view of the lake the average person will have will be when they drive over the bridge. Without a G-String. It's enough to make me want to get in shape and wear a G-string. The whole issue was great except for the misquote of my book as the first line on the Tommy X piece.
