You left out a lot. You are right, there are tons of apartments. There are also 60k+ students at A&M.TKDMom said:
Big Bubba, you mentioned that students have to live somewhere. Fair enough. How about:
The Rise
The Stack
The Barracks
Calloway House
The Woodlands at College Station
Woodstock Condominiums
Falcon Point Condos
Springs at University Dr (technically Bryan)
Aspen Heights
The Standard
2500 Central Park Student Townhomes
100 Park
University Heights
Holleman Crossing
Sterling Northgate
Z Islander
The Point on Redmond
Broadstone Ranch at Wolf Pen Creek
Northgate Proper
Pepper Tree Apartments
The Trails at Wolf Pen Creek
Northpoint Crossing
Park West
Or any number of AgShacks that have already been built?
The traffic argument is very weak. Compared to the traffic at some other elementary schools, the traffic at College Hills is minor. Go sit at the corner of Rock Prairie Elementary or Pebble Creek Elementary a few mornings and you will see what I mean.TKDMom said:
Every morning children walk to school down Gilchrist and Francis. The idea of introducing even more traffic to that are will significantly impact the integrity of the neighborhood is concerning to say the least.

I grew up in that area and went to College Hills as a kid. There are a number of stealth dorms in the area already.
But, here is my big point:
The City has been all about money for YEARS. When the City wanted to Annex Wellborn I didn't see a bunch of College Hills folks leading the charge to help us out. It didn't affect you, and you couldn't care less. Some of the same folks complaining on this thread were saying : It's inevitable, progress, etc. HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW IT'S YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?
So now, this doesn't affect me. I. Couldn't. Care. Less. Buy up all the big lots on Gilchrist, Domink, wherever. Load as many loud, partying college kids as possible.
The city council and the mayor are elected by the townies, not the students. IIRC, a lot of them live in College Hills. The city staff and P&Z want one thing - moar revenue to fund more grandiose Fire Palaces, Senior Centers, moar staff, etc. Dense development and the tax base that brings helps fund that.
