I disagree, diskojoe. I think Greenspoint has plenty of potential, but yes, it will require the demolition and redevelopment of the old mall into a good mixed-use development, in addition to "cleaning up" some of the more dilapidated old apartment complexes. There are enough office towers, enough middle class apartments, enough large corporate campuses in the area to make it good again, it's just going to take substantial effort on Houston's part to make it happen.

Of course perhaps I'm naive about this, though I hope it's true, given that I now work right on JFK a touch north of the Beltway!
