  1. We had a supply problem with lower rates... its is going to get worse now.

    Although it is ultimately a local issue, nationally, we have a zoning issue. Zoning/entitlement needs to be changes/altered to allow for denser housing development nationwide.  Every developer in the world would rather put down three (3) cheaper units as opposed to one more expensive unit. It's simple a matter of buyer pool and mitigating risk.  Driving down the cost and the hurdles to build more units will ultimately lead to more units, which will drive down the cost (flatten the rate of increase).

    More housing units need to be built, and allowing for more density ultimately drives down the costs for development, while supplying the units the system needs.

  2. This sounds like a ground lease so the 25-year term, is actually rather short. Theoretically, they are leasing the ground and if the ground lease isn't renewed you the vertical improvements would revert back to the land owner. What kind of renewal clauses are included in the LOI?  Although half an acre is too small to support a grocer and retail center.... are they trying to acquire/lease this parcel as part of assemblage? What is the full scale of the project? Is his land going to be used just for parking?

    I know nothing of land values in Alabama, but the dominate retailers and grocers are always going to drive the market. Does your dad own any other adjacent land to this tract or does this deal encompass all of his holdings? If he owns more, the value of the those parcels are sure to increase significantly with the use being proposed.

    Also, is that Gerry Hamilton in the background?

    Yes. GH in his element.

     

    His ankles are too fat though.

    I understand, but the DC is the same, so the scheme hasn't changed.  Plus, Texas and Sark have demonstrated the willingness/ability to find high quality replacements for departing position coaches.

    That has not been shown to be the case at either ou or USC.

    2 DTs in back to back drafts.

    We need to go after all these DTs in the portal, no matter the cost. Even if some of them never see meaningful snaps it means that other teams don’t get them. I want a 12 deep at DT that costs 5 million dollars a year. It will all pay off when we’re in the playoffs and other teams are starting linebackers at DT because every human over 300 pounds in the portal came to Texas. Chess not checkers.

    Free only for now would you like the paid stuff to show? I thought that would be frustrating but it may be a good advertising tool with the blurb of the title and premium tag. 

    Maybe the latter? I didn't realize how much premium content was posted until I muledicked for a premium account.

    Instead, it is a world-class parking lot:

     

    I mean a good chunk of the larger sites are owned by developers and absolutely will have vertical mixed-use built on them. Just need the capital markets to loosen a bit.

    Yeah, I'm an asshole but one thing I'm good about is not judging fellow parents.  But if you come up on a bird that size that is bigger than your baby, and said bird is eating an animal it mauled who was also bigger than your baby.  I'm probably not walking that baby that close to that situation.  But that's just me, I'm not a gambler. 

    I don't have to outrun the eagle, I just have to outrun you carrying your baby.

  8. We have Nico for another year. Then we can worry about paying him. Assuming he doesn’t flame out next year the dude is going to get paid as a #1. If he produces again, we should be the team to pay and keep him.

    We have pass rushers, assuming we sign/tag Greenard. 
     

    We need DB help (speed), we need interior DT help, we need interior OL help (maybe OL health takes care of that), we need WR depth, and we need RB depth/speed.

  9. We have our two edges. We need to resign Greenard. 
     

    Interior DL, Interior OL, DB (speed) are areas in need of upgrade.

    That said if Keon Coleman is there at our pick in the 1st, I don’t know how you don’t take him.

    Lets see how FA goes first and the. Use the draft to gain BPA.

  10. Need some interior OL help. We were down a ton of bodies there this season, but could not move anyone with a quality dline. Shaq Mason was solid, need another proven interior vet to go with the young guys. If we can get a run game going, even if it’s just “average” our offense will be top 5 in the league.

    Need a player at safety, someone with speed and ball skills. Petrie isn’t it. Had two chances to make plays on the 1st drive of the 2nd half and could do either. He is one dimensional.

    We need help at DT. Maybe someone like Murphy. We need an interior guy that can get pressure as our ends are going to cause so many step up’s.
     

    Need an answer at RB to replace or go with Singletary. 

    I would like to get some more speed at corner as well. We seemed slow on defense.
     

    I have confidence we will get more folks willing to play with us on prove it deals just like this year but more and of higher quality. 
     

    Finally a capable GM, paired with a competent and likable coach, with a franchise QB. The future is bright.

  11. Well the trust that Janice technically controls, owns the Texans and Carls business interest. 
     

    This could be him ensuring his business is protected secured as much as anything related to actual control of the Texans. 
     

    We shall see.
