I’d also say “less.”

God, I hate to see the Katy prairie completely disappear. I can remember clouds of geese (snow geese, I think) landing in the rice fields.

It’ll be great, though, won’t it? Rows and rows and rows of houses with convenience stores at the entrance to the neighborhoods.

The Katy Prairie will be JUST FINE. At worst, there will be 4 toll lanes going through it that will see a car every 10 minutes or so. There will be NO DEVELOPMENT at all in that corridor for decades.

EXACTLY the same thing happened with the South Loop here in Houston. 20 years ago they decided to build it as a toll road...only now is the first development (to speak of) taking place. And this is less than 10 miles from downtown Houston...and this is NOT a Cintra road, with their tolling rates.

Believe me, once people understand the Cintra tax that they will have to pay NOTHING will be built in that path until Cintra either sells off the road, or their 75 year contract expires. For you, it works out great - for me, I don’t really care either way, but it will be nice having some concrete that bypasses Houston when I take long trips.

You could call it WaWa Acres or AM/PM Estates or Circle-K Corners.
