I browsed on this subreddit and saw tons of recommendations, but none of them talk about how much it cost. If any of you work...

And I’m intrigued what everyone’s thoughts on this topics nowadays are. I would say right now definitely East End is insane. There are so many new constructions and business that have opened up in the last 5 years. I k...

Project Brays CLOMR – Proposed flood map revision? https://houstonnewmedia.org/project-brays-clomr-proposed-flood-map-revision/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=project-brays-clomr-proposed-flood-map-revision Fri, 01 Apr 2022 16:17:40 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=adc774f242625d66dc05b619c34c8187

While reading about the Brays Project I found their CLOMR. If I understand correctly it is the proposed way the flood map would change once all the work is completed. If so, this would really really change things in Meyerland and Westbury. What do you guys think? Do you think this CLOMR is a best case scenario or a possible reality?

I've heard from people that flooded during tax day, memorial and harvey comment how after the mitigation project started they haven't flooded at all. But, it's honestly hard to say. Most flooding seems to be a case by case scenario

Bury power lines? https://houstonnewmedia.org/bury-power-lines/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bury-power-lines Tue, 15 Mar 2022 20:34:33 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=0f48050aca19f660cbb7386b2fac1b61

Has anyone buried their power lines? I'm asking because our house has power lines running from the backyard to the house, and it honestly looks a bit ugly. We obviously would be working with an electrician and a contractor. But, I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge to share on this matter

Edit: I want to add I want to know like how long it takes, price, and if centerpoint has to be involved or not

Looking to buy a house in Houston? https://houstonnewmedia.org/looking-to-buy-a-house-in-houston/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=looking-to-buy-a-house-in-houston Wed, 23 Feb 2022 18:20:43 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=c0bbd62d8a3c358a1c0b25d8536f60d3

DO YOUR RESEARCH! I mean it. It really amazes me the amount of houses that get sold in Bellaire, Meyerland and Heights that are inside the floodmap. I'm not sure if the people that are buying them are completely unaware or they just don't care. It really is true that if a house is too good to be truth, there must be something wrong with it. So, be super critical while looking for your houses

Non-mediterranean restaurants with halal meat? https://houstonnewmedia.org/non-mediterranean-restaurants-with-halal-meat/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=non-mediterranean-restaurants-with-halal-meat Fri, 17 Dec 2021 15:05:17 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=019d7d8d823a4988df06bfcf75fb11b5

Question is super self explanatory lol. At work we're organizing a lunch, but one of our coworkers only eats halal meat. But, he wants to try other types of cuisine. Does anyone know any restaurant that serves halal meat?;

Worst case scenario we can choose one and he can get a vegetarian or seafood option

Prohibited Yard Parking Ordinance and a RV https://houstonnewmedia.org/prohibited-yard-parking-ordinance-and-a-rv/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=prohibited-yard-parking-ordinance-and-a-rv Sun, 30 Aug 2020 21:54:32 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=a77452667d5b79d8d960593ec51afaf0

Hey everyone, my in-laws will be coming visit in a month or so, and they will be driving all the way from California in their RV. Ideally, we would like them to be able to park it outside the house, on the street. We live in a townhouse in EaDo so we don't have a proper driveway for them. I found out about the Prohibited Yard Parking Ordinance, and I'm so confused about how this affect it. Does it say their tiny RV can't be parked in front of our yard if our HOA applied to it? Is anyone familiar with it?

I've seen trucks parked on the street on the back where a warehouse is located, so I know they can park there for sure! Worse case scenario I guess they can leave their RV on an RV park.

Edit: we had decided to just ask them to leave it at the RV park and get them to stay in our bedroom while we stay in the living room. Thanks everyone who replied with information
