Regarding Bayou Park apartments: the article specifically says the developer is not tearing down the existing apartments, just adding a high rise on an unused portion. Parts of this complex flooded during Harvey, not sure it all come back online. BTW if the entire parcel was redeveloped to townhomes, at the current max allowed per sq acre, you're looking at just over 400 units assuming you wouldn't eat up a lot of your land with the new streets you'd need....tearing down the existing 900 apartments to build 400 townhomes would at be at best a wash vis-a-vis density.

Whatever happens to that site, the surrounding zip code 77007 is still growing fast. The conventional wisdom is it takes 5,000 people to justify a supermarket, the area should already support 6.
