And as we were driving through the Mueller Development I felt a little uncomfortable in see that it was just down the street from Marlo Heights Community it seemed to me that it should have been a gate community due to the fact the it is all new and the prices of the houses are not that affordable for the low or moderate income members in the community around it.
I believe that the Longhorn Center of Civic Engagement wants to continue to help out Holly Street Community that they should help they deal with the open lots that they have in their community and transform them into community playgrounds or family parks. The biggest thing would be to come up with an idea to transform empty space once the power plant is out of their community.
