Your park is about to get a whole lot smaller
So okay—you know how Houstonians feel about green space, right? Especially when it's *Hermann Park*? That jewel right there, across from the Museum District, where families picnic near the Reflection Pool and folks jog by the Japanese Garden? It’s sacred ground. It’s one of the few places in this concrete jungle where you can really breathe.
Wait wait wait, let me back up—Harris County commissioners are actually considering *condemning* land in Hermann Park. You know, to expand Ben Taub Hospital. Now, I get it, Ben Taub serves *so many* Houstonians, especially those who need it most. And the reports of hours-long waits, patients in hallways—that's rough. That’s a deeply Houston problem, and we *need* to address our healthcare infrastructure. But taking a chunk out of Hermann Park? That’s like asking if we can just trim a bit off the top of the Rothko Chapel. There has to be another way. Houston doesn't have zoning, but we *do* have beloved landmarks. This isn’t just about land; it’s about what we value as a city.
H-Town on the wire—no limits, no zoning, no excuses.
