I always thought Dolphin Drive was a cool name even though we are inland lol.

Yea that's a fun area to go through like on Clawson, Lightsey and Bluebonnet. My hood is just south of Ben White off Banister.

I'm having to plant a lot of tall evergreens and let the bamboo spread along our north fence because they built some 2 story houses only feet from the fence line. Now I'm all for increased density, however there are a couple of issues I have about the way that the builder went about it. Its greed plain and simple at the cost of existing neighbors privacy. They won't be having a clear view of my back yard for long. Instead there will be a wall of evergreen bushes and bamboo 30 to 50 feet tall.

For example here is a pic I took when the electrician left the lights on. My yard goes to that fence. The house including an overhang second floor are about 8 feet from the peppery line.



We complained about the lights being left on citing light pollution and since then, they have been kind enough to keep the upstairs lights off.
