• C� • Minutes, Public Hearings La Porte City Council July 20, 1983, Page 9 and Regular Meeting One other thing he'd like to mention: he did not appreciate a citizen in the audience clapping when Deotis was making his comments, and it's a land seller to begin with. I kind of think they are feathering their own nest, and us doing what we're doing with these small houses. The more slabs we put on a piece of property, the less saturation space you will have. I don't agree with the small houses; I don't agree with the small lots. The people of Lomax have fought this for a number of years, and when we came into La Porte we went from a house of 1250 sq. ft. to 1050, which the citizens were not happy with there. I think if we pass or approve the request that has been made tonight, it will infiltrate over into La Porte, and I don't think we should take Pasadena's problems. If they want it in Pasadena, let them keep it. And speaking of Pasadena, I want to mention South Houston, too. I'm real proud and priviledged to serve on this Council because we're getting along real good. It seems • like every time I read the Pasadena paper there is some- thing in it about Pasadena and South Houston fussing and fighting, and I want you to know what a privilege it is working with us, because we settle our grievances and do not go before the City and it's not published before the entire country. Long�ley� He feels toil roads are a very good way to i�nance projects, although he used to view them in the same light as a State income tax. 24.
