Do they forget about the Grand Hyatt?

Maybe they meant office tower? Because the Frost isn't even the first tower built since 1989 in like a two block radius, lol

I wish they could build around it to break it up like what the Weston does from the eastern elevation of this one.

Coming along nicely...Graham Weston gets it done.

Here is a nice drone video showing that shows the progress on the eastern façade- I believe all that exposed concrete will end up being a dark gray color based on the renders?

The brickwork looks pretty good. I wish this building had better street level interaction, but at least the general look of the garage is far superior to that of Frost.

Do we know what tenants will be going in the retail slots?

I blame inflation on everybody, from welfare queens, to insurance companies, from equity enterprises to going off the gold standard solely so the fed could print money.

I mostly blame us, the citizens for taking it in stride, and forgetting how to build our own 🞵🞵🞵🞵 anymore. Gotta have someone grow our veggies, kill and process our meat, build our houses, and it better damn well be available at the local Wal-Mart and done yesterday.

(I'm getting salty in my old age too.)

I'm very thankful for the people who grow my food, build the roads and rail lines, bring me the internet, etc. I would absolutely not want to farm my own food or do most of that other stuff that gives people jobs. I agree with some of the points you made, but I'm more of a political centrist.

Going to assuage your saltines. I teach highschool econ. We got off the gold standard because rather than having inflation, we had deflation. There is a finite supply of gold in the world but theoretically infinite growth. During the Great Depression, the dollar's value was tied to gold. It had a fixed exchange rate. Abandoning the gold standard helped the dollar recover. Further, the Fed doesn't print money. The US Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints money. The Fed adjusts the interest rates which banks can loan at which affects the supply/demand of money in circulation, and acts as the lender of last resort. Quantitative Easing, which is what you're thinking of as printing money, isn't actually printing money. It's the process of the Fed purchasing bonds to increase the supply of money in the market. They don't just invent the money out of thin air. The money they do get is from collected interest on their assets.

I think the rest of your post is about comparative advantage. It's actually cheaper for everybody to have goods produced elsewhere and shipped here.

Anyway, hope you liked my econ class!

The main culprit is COVID. Remember how the price of oil tanked during COVID? There was no demand. No new wells were being produced either. When we left the crisis, there was a surge in demand for oil but not enough supply to reach or pass equilibrium. Since quite literally every good produced on earth needs oil, everything else got expensive with it.

There's a few other culprits. The Fed held historically low interest rates probably too long, but that may have been necessary for people to keep jobs during COVID. It makes sense that they raised interest rates when they did.
