The property value in the community west of the entertainment district and north of campus is getting ready to explode. $$

What Moody Towers needed when I lived there in the 90âs
That place was torture. Most rooms have/had folding couch beds, except the two on both sides at the far end of the hall, those were bunk beds with more living space. Donât get me started on the community showers/bathrooms.
I did make some good friends, but I left and got an apartment after my first year. The Quadrangle was full.

I stayed there during orientation. It felt like Olajuwon was still on campus.
Itâs kind of benefits UH but hear me out.
Here is my Gemini assisted dreaming again⌠now that Texas Southern University has announced a new master plan with academic, athletic, and student living/support which includes a possible on-campus football stadium.
An ideal development of an on-campus football stadium would be a transformative opportunity to anchor a vibrant, walkable lifestyle district bridging Texas Southern University, the University of Houston, and the broader Third Ward community. By reimagining the current Graystone Apartments site into an intimate, modern athletic venue, the area could cultivate a bustling urban promenade that elevates both campuses spirit and local economic vitality.
Designing a 12,000â13,000 seat boutique venueâcomplemented by standing-room-only overflow, luxury suites, loge seating, open-air party decks, and state-of-the-art press facilitiesâestablishes a high-energy focal point tailored to the communityâs footprint. This venue would function as a central gathering destination, linking surrounding neighborhoods through shared spaces, game-day festivities, and community events.
Key Lifestyle & Infrastructure Integration
⢠Shared Infrastructure & Activation: Game days offer a strong opportunity for cross-institutional partnership. TSU could collaborate with the University of Houston and Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church to share structured parking assets, optimizing existing footprints while generating passive revenue.
⢠Urban Renewal & Corridor Continuity: Replacing the retail storefront adjacent to the fire station removes a long-standing visual break in the streetscape. Replacing it with a continuous, pedestrian-friendly plaza creates a cohesive entry corridor along Scott Street.
⢠Community Expansion: Relocating and modernizing the fire station further south to the intersection of Scott St and Blodgett St secures essential public safety infrastructure while opening up valuable real estate for stadium plazas, retail bays, and green space.
This strategic alignment of sports, shared infrastructure, and urban design would transform the Scott Street corridor into an energetic hub, driving long-term value for TSU, neighboring institutions, and local residents alike.

probably first mistake.
I would also double check distances. Canât have bars within 1000 ft of a school. Yates HS on one side and the Energy Institute HS on the other might make a narrow corridor for bars (I did not measure)

Thatâs burglaries, so yeah. Lots of ways to move variables and parameters on CLERY. Now do wrape (correct spelling is not allowed), personal assaults and murder
We are in good company.

Everyone on the top 10 is AAU but us? This should be a metric.

I remember 25 years ago in RA training the UHPD officers told us that other schools had just as many problems but they would not take as many charges so their statistics looked better, our officers are gung ho and the young guys would even go into the neighborhood looking for people to arrest.

Funny that you mention this however the new Lockhart Elementary School is practically next door to the Ralston Wholesale Liquor Store, Their listed addresses may calculate to over 1000 ft yet the campuses are neighbors. 
I know a liquor store and a bar are different but they both sell alcohol. Maybe the developer can use this type strategic placement to avoid this law.
Those were only burglaries. Look at his new lists

I posted those other graphics to show that UH isnât that bad crime wise. But I do think that the perception of our location is the reason the mythical âentertainment districtâ hasnât materialized. Plus all those stats I cherry picked has UCLA on it. Just for reference of course.

As an Auburn alum, this checks out.
