Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@EvanVieth Pack’s defense is terrible. Did he play OF in HS? He sure looks bad out there. That’s his 3rd booted fly ball that I’ve seen w my own eyes no telling how many others he’s had?!

@data_atx They will sod most of the fairways and all of the greens. They will seed the rough areas

Great Hills Country Club is undergoing a major renovation, all the fairways and greens look like this Question for our Austin gardeners: How are they going to get grass back on here? It's way too much land to sod right? Can they grow from seed on this rocky soil?

A shaky front nine from from Ludvig and his lead goes from 2 to 3. Even when it’s not going well, it seems like it’s very hard for him to go backwards. Gonna be a very interesting back nine.

If TABC thinks poker is illegal gambling, why did it take 10 years to do anything about it? And why are 100s of other poker rooms across state still running?

This is wild. will have a big impact on the midterms and senate runoff TABC confirms lodge poker raid is related to illegal gambling and money laundering You can’t allow poker rooms to run for a decade+ and then randomly choose to go after one. It’s anarcho tyranny.
Poker Org@pokerorg

The TABC has issued a statement to PokerOrg following Tuesday’s raid on @LodgePokerClub. Authorities say the search is tied to an investigation into suspected money laundering and illegal gambling. Full story 👇 poker.org/latest-news/ta…

Last week, Austin re-upped its contract with Rec Trac , the software you use to book parks stuff, summer camps, and tee times Many parents have complained the software is not good, this guy gives a good overview from a golf POV Council echoed hearing complaints but they approved it anyways with the caveat that the parks department would have to get feedback from users and submit it to the vendor In the bid process there were other options with good looking software , but Rec Trac far outscored other options on ‘prior experience and references’ which is ironic given the complaints

@data_atx Can’t speak on the other things but for the golf side it is the worst program I have encounter period. Not even close. Would honestly be better if they just didn’t use it and had people call or show up to the course to make a tee time.

Can't agree more with this. May gives them a lot more continuity with broadcast (CBS/ESPN also carry the Masters), weather is more tolerable, right as the golf season is opening for entire country, etc. If I recall everyone complained incessantly when the PGA was in August.
Robert Lusetich@RobertLusetich

@JoshACarpenter Why would the PGA move back to August, where it was the runt of the majors litter, had to accommodate the Olympics, had limited choices on venues and had to fight for attention as NFL/CFB seasons ramp up?

@ElVerdeRican @data_atx Golf Course development and architecture has come a long way since the days of water chugging golf courses. This can be done with minimal/ non potable water that exits from the resort and surrounding commercial sites. My issue is it will probably cost $350 to play the course!!

How are new 18 hole golf corses still being proposed in this day and age? Central Texas is dry, very dry. A golf course of this size in central Texas needs around 90m to 120m gallons of water to be maintained every year. We already have a water scarcity problem. Why make it worse?

Circuit of Americas is planning to build a 1000+ room hotel, conference center, and 18 hole golf course and driving range on the west side of their property It's going to city council for approval next month and likely to pass. Will be very big for the area and for golfers.

@pati_marins64 To me it’s just the post about where US/ Israel are dropping bombs. It was counterintuitive to everything you’ve been reporting these last 4-5 days.

One of the most difficult aspects of writing about this war has been dealing with the American public. Not because the United States is directly involved, but because the country is so bitterly divided that almost any interpretive discussion, no matter the subject, almost immediately becomes either an apology for or an attack on the government. Common sense and intellectual coherence are withering in America like a plant deprived of water. Analysis of events in Iran should not be treated as a referendum on the U.S. administration; it should simply be the careful, independent examination of each event and the overall situation.

@pati_marins64 Wait though Patricia, you’ve said the US and Israel are not making progress in this war, but now we are wondering about their motives? I’m a bit confused. I’m anti war, but this goes against what you’ve been tweeting for days now.

@_delconte Hi Mr Del Conte. I sit in section 108 and have for the past 3 seasons. All 3 years the four seats next to mine have been sold/empty every game; is Texas still purging non attending season ticket holders? Would love those for my parents/brother/his wife siting in 101.
