Get ready developers, HUD wants your multi-million clubhouse to become an unsupervised daycare. This HUD memo was released today. My heart goes out to all of the owners and property managers who are no longer allowed to have a policy on unsupervised children. Under the terms of the agreement, the o...

First I propose that we just create a topic called HUD. There is a lot of crazy stuff to share.

Is their a standard used to determine a Proposed development from one that is In Progress?

Prior to April of 2016 acceptable public policy was: Landlords had the right to deny housing based on Felony Convictions and criminal activity that resulted in an arrest; as long as these standards were applied equally. This will now get you into big trouble with HUD. In April of 2016 HUD issued som...

This is going to be a very unique site given its length and narrow lot with. I see a lot of potential as it sits high before it drops down to Saddle Creek. I think it could be very cool in a row house design if they had parking access and underground garage entry from the Saddle Creek side, possibly...

yawn, boxy,

I so love a good mystery. Built as a church in 1941 Assessors condition report says “worn out” 10 rooms, 4.5 baths, over 3,000 sf on the main level Last sold in March of 2000 for $1,200,000 Taxes go to Cullan Kids Foundation All of the Foundation company contacts are Cullan’s The Foundations Directo...

I don't know why but I find this a fascinating project. I wish I could find the project links you are all so good at because I wanted to review the parking and consider the posts related to those concerns. But heck since tomorrow is a snow day (yea!) I made my own just to see how many would fit. I g...

I love the debate I see going on about this project. A very good use of the forum and everyone is being nice :) While I agree that the 1/2 block South of Leavenworth is mostly residential, I don't believe that all of the owners share the same level of interest in the area. There are a lot of great h...

But where are the 400 odd cars going to park? The parking will be underneath the 2 "L" shaped buildings and a large lot right behind 3 Happiness. It sounds to me like the parking is factored into the plans. The apartment residents are not going to be parking in the driveways of the houses.

I understand the frustration of neighbors who have previously enjoyed the view of the overgrown wooded lots next door. However, If you wanted to have row style townhomes next door then you should have banded together to buy and develop the area. I think you have a good neighbor in the proposed proje...

You mean these little guys?

Even if they are able to save the exterior of the M’s pub building (and I doubt that they will). Current city code will likely not allow the kitchen and prep area to be in the basement again meaning that they will likely need to expand to the east. The facade of the Specht building would fit nicely ...

If the zoo is going to invest in displays of animals they don't actually have I would like to suggest the following... Let's have a "fun raiser" for the Cryptozoology expansion. We can add all of the mega fauna darlings like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monsterer, and the Yetti. Businesses can d...

Nice piece on the former owner by the OWH. Old news but helps explain the large private site in the middle of the city.

The little commercial space in this building is well located as it is near the hotels. They can sell maps "Hollywood Style" of where all the historic buildings used to be and give tours of Omaha.

Then the landlord shouldn't accept Section 8 vouchers. How will the slumlords make all their money than??? When someone provides housing in a rental property they should not be labeled slumlords. So you consider each property owner where the shootings occurred slumlords? And as for section 8 vouche...

3 shootings at 3 apartment communities within the past week. Part of the problem is that the property owners have lost their rights to enforce rules within the community. Aside fro a threat of a discrimination law suites; we can thank the VAWA (violence against women act) it makes it illegal to evic...

It is truly sad when these events occur, the lack of comments when they do happen speaks volumes. Not only have we gotten used to the violence now it has become taboo to comment on it as well. I don't know how these shootings can be stopped and it certainly is not the fault of the apartment communit...

So what if grain elevators were turned into giant batteries? Is it possible? And then say to recharge and store energy with wind turbines? Could a bank of giant batteries actually power anything? This photo got me thinking about the possibility hope you don't mind if I borrow it. I think someone way...

I like the Bunny how cute this would be they might even pay for it. But I think you need to take the drum and stick and make them neon so that they show up at night and perhaps move back and forth like the drum is in use. Use the Omaha ! logo from skinzfan's avatar. I am not good at this but somethi...

Curious about this project I looked it up. I was very surprised to find that it is going to sit on a huge sea of concrete and faces the curve of a 6 lane highway on one side and a 4 lane intersection on the other. I guess I thought I knew more about the area. The guy on the bike in the rendering mus...

LOL! Lets clear up what looks to be drifting. The older photo shows the tower, The boatyard was NOT torn down. The towers were demolished sometime in 2003 If I recall correctly and is now the Creighton soccer field. Torn down because it was old and worn out.

I have had an employee do this to me as well. Police did not do anything for 6 months, a year and a half latter they finally arrested her as it turned out to be her 2nd time ripping off her employer for over 10K. Slap on the wrist and sent down the road - she never has paid back a dime. My solution ...

So will the city need to pay that 600 per quarter registration fee to themselves for abandoned / vacant property?

A place where sick people return if they do not get well the first time? Or that thing people do on Twitter?

These people are getting busy lately. Dirt work on the row house - funeral home site started, and piles of dirt appear at this site. Busy busy busy. Just conjecture.

Could it be that as the Creighton campus grows and absorbs more housing the former 68102 zip code is now recorded under the Creighton zip code of 68178?

Ok I know that it is just too soon, but I am going to put this out there anyhow. http://www.omaha.com/news/metro/omaha-woman-dies-after-she-lights-cigarette-ignites-oxygen-tank/article_e92e4372-5019-11e5-8364-4b8d0478ca72.html Why would the police schedule an autopsy? What would they be hoping to fi...

:lol: Save the Dundee! HELIX I can't believe you posted that! You are going to have the Dundee Homeowners in a riot trying to figure out if the city would allow that. They are probably holding an emergency meeting as we speak. I don't know how well that would blend but must admit the owner did say h...

Does anyone have a breakdown of the Creighton Campus housing Unit counts and such?
