Houston, we’re taking the real estate conversation to the RADIO! 🎙️

I’ll be joining Ernie Manouse and Tessa Barrera LIVE on Hello Houston today - Wednesday, October 14th at 11:25 AM!

We’re diving into a topic that’s been on just about every buyer’s mind lately… INTEREST RATES!

Should you buy now or wait? What do changing rates really mean for your buying power? And how do you know when the timing is right for YOU?

I’m looking forward to sharing what I know, answering some of the questions I hear most often, and helping Houston buyers make more informed decisions!

Set your reminder and tune in at 11:25 AM!!

Swipe through all five. Same Bastrop Promenade. Same eado_hou (MIS) Management District. Same maintenance budget. Same sprinklers, probably.

Slides 1 & 2: Bell to Polk. Grass. Shade trees. A playground. Mowed, edged, watered, cared for. Proof that the @ eado_hou (MIS) Management District knows exactly how to maintain green space, because they are doing it right there, one block away, today.

Slides 3, 4 & 5: Polk to Dallas, Dallas to Lamar, Lamar to McKinney. A barren desert of crushed granite. All three blocks that the @hc_hsa used for the @fwc26houston Fan Fest.

We've been told the granite drains better. One block south, the grass handles the same rain on the same street in the same soil and has done it for years. We've been told granite is better for markets and festivals. @discoverygreen hosts a few hundred thousand people a year on grass, a mile and a half away. We've been told the district had no control. Their own agreement gave them sole discretion to have it removed, & their own July minutes show them deciding to keep it.

So what's actually different about those three blocks?

Not the climate. Not the drainage. Not the budget. Not the district. The only thing different about those three blocks is that somebody figured out you can rent them.

Grass is a neighborhood amenity. Crushed granite is an event venue. One of those makes money, & it isn't the one the kids play on.

They didn't lose the ability to grow grass in July. They lost interest in it because of 💰🤑 .

Four blocks of the same Bastrop Promenade. One of them still looks like a neighborhood. Restore the other three.

@tess1tess2 with @hellohouston.show asked why I got involved.

It's more than a green space.

I mean — it is a green space. My neighbors and I would like to have it back. But if that were the whole thing, I'd have given up in August like a reasonable person.

It's about people who were put in positions of power making decisions that make life worse for the residents who live with them.

Nobody elected this board. You can't vote them out. And not one of those non-elected board members lives in this neighborhood.

They met with @friendsofcolumbiatap & @eadocivic and assured them the green space would be restored. So when the July board meeting came around, those civic leaders had no reason to be there. Why would you show up to defend something you'd already been promised?

That's the meeting where the board concurred to keep the crushed granite. No motion, no second, no vote, no public input. And by the time anybody found out, the window to object had closed — literally. July 20 to August 14. It opened eleven days after they decided, and shut three weeks before they met again.

And the posture through all of it has been: this isn't yours to ask about. Residents don't fund us. The @hc_hsa had control. We don't have the resources. Details to come at a later date.

Then came September 9. Twelve neighbors showed up and gave public comment, with the promenade on the posted agenda. Not one board member responded — because they simply did not care.

That's the part that keeps me going.

Because whatever happens on our three blocks, there's a district doing this somewhere in your neighborhood too, with your streets and your sidewalks and your shade, and the only thing standing between them and whatever they feel like doing is whether anybody bothers to show up and ask.

So we keep showing up. We keep fighting the power that be.

Restore the green space on the Bastrop Promenade.

1 in 3 murders in Harris County is tied to #domesticviolence.

District Attorney Sean Teare and I are stepping up to fill the void left from dangerous federal government funding cuts.

The Protective Order Extended Team (P.O.E.T.) will make sure every Harris County resident, regardless of background or status, can get help.

Ending #DV makes all of us safer.

This Bastrop Promenade fight didn't start in July. It started with a promise.

Ed Pettit with @friendsofcolumbiatap & another neighbor sat in the @ eado_hou (MIS) Management District's own board meetings before the World Cup and were told the green space would be restored after the @fwc26houston Fan Fest. Not hinted at. Told.

So residents did the thing you're supposed to do. They showed up. They asked. They got an answer, and they took it in good faith, and they went home and waited through three months of a closed park because the answer was: it's coming back.

Then on July 8, the board changed its mind.

The approved minutes of that meeting record the executive director explaining that "pursuant to the Agreement with the @hc_hsa, the District may retain certain improvements that are eligible to remain in the space," and the board "concurred to keep all eligible improvements on the Promenade."

No motion. No second. No vote. Under an agenda heading that read "World Cup 2026." Five directors present, one seat vacant, four absent.

And none of the people who'd been promised otherwise were in the room, because nothing on that agenda told them they needed to be.

That's the agreement on screen in this clip, by the way. We have it. Section 3.A gave the District approval over the plans. Section 3.H kept maintenance with the District throughout. Section 3.G gave the District sole discretion to order the granite removed between July 20 and August 14. Section 1 made restoration the default.

The District could have kept its word. It had a signed contract that let it, and a window to do it in.

Instead the board met eleven days before that window opened, decided to keep the rock, and didn't meet again until three weeks after it closed.

One more thing. The @hellohouston.show host, @tess1tess2, said she'd like to talk to the District about this. That's an open invitation to explain it in their own words - no records request, no countless unanswered emails, no running into anyone on a sidewalk.

Restore the green space on the Bastrop Promenade.

Self-confidence is one thing; believing you’re a superwoman is another.

This week, during Mental Illness Awareness Week, I sat down with NPR’s @houstonpubmedia to discuss the idea that Bipolar I did not always make me look like I was falling apart, and what diagnosis, sobriety, and long-term stability actually look like in real life.

Thank you to @hellohouston.show for providing space for these critical conversations.

Thank you, Tessa & Michael, for having us on your @hellohouston.show this morning to share the bait & switch done to the Bastrop Promenade by the non-elected board members of the @ eado_hou (MIS)Management District.

The board broke their promise by not restoring the green space along the promenade after the @fwc26houston fanfest ended. We welcomed the world into our neighborhood, but the non-elected board members betrayed us after everyone left town & the cameras were turned off.

Thank you, @robertgallegos7724 & Ed Pettit with @friendsofcolumbiatap, for being strong advocates.
