  • Friends in High Places
    18 CITE G3 SPRING 2005 Let high-rise apartments really catch on and same imaginative entrepreneur will rent the San Jacinto Monument and have it converted by Christmas. - Larry McMuriry, t968 WITH ITS MINUSCULE population den- sity and predilection for a diffuse form of urbanism that distributes itself over a vast metropolitan region, Houston never developed much ot a need lor high-rise living. This is a city where the single-fam- U " II ily house on a suburban lot reigns as the prime marker of domestic aspirations. When high-rise living was thought about at all, it was framed by a bias that such substandard forms of habitation probably belonged to overcrowded cities up east or in other parts of the world; either that or as a temporary living arrangement. But Houston has been changing. People no longer see the suburban com- mute as a necessary price to pay for the good life. In a graph prepared by Stephen Klinebcrg for his annual Houston Survey, the rising trend of suburbanites interested in mm mg into the a t i <.n issed tin I.ill ing trend of city-dwellers interested in somed.i) moving to the suburbs ai around Iti percent. It's not so much the com- mute that explains these trends, Klinebcrg notes, but that many people in the sub- urbs are eager to live near urban ameni- ties, cultural and recreational venues, and to feel a sense of solidarity with the ethnic diversity of the urban scene. In other IIP • words, Houston's population is becoming more urbane, and at the same time the city itself is solidifying its identification with images of a more urbanized setting and lifestyle.
