Oh cool, our police are more humane than the corrupt cops in India, Pakistan, China and Mexico. Awesome.

When the bar's set that low, it may be impossible to go any lower.

I know. It must be a terrible disappointment that we can't be more like the socialist utopia that your enlightened mind envisions.

Seriously, get over yourself.

Doubtless you'd be incapable of seeing the light with your blindfold on.

Clever.

The root of the ranking problem is a red X? Damn, it all makes sense now.

You've truly shown me the light.

As someone that lives and works in the area I have mixed feelings. I work for the college which has a branch just across the freeway (Beltway 8) and we were/are hoping for a revival of the area. It has such potential, but so do a lot of things I guess.

I do think a theater might be a good option. I do kind of favor the open-air, town center concept and wonder with all those acres, would it be better to build something like that...?

Considering the people who live in and frequent the area, the chance for any real revival is slim to nill.

I find it hard to believe that the mall will be able to survive without Sears. And a theater? In this part of the city?

Won't work.

The responses on this thread are amazingly retarded.

I just want to add some opinions of my own.

1. Don Elder represents the people of Katy. He was elected by the citizens of Katy. If the people of Katy don't want this slum development then they have the right to speak out about it. And so does the mayor.

2. Nowhere does he mention any ethnicity. Nowhere does he mention any nationality. Nowhere does he mention skin color at all. So out of one sentence you managed to deduce that he is in fact a bigoted racist who hates Mexicans and wants them all gone? Wow, that's impressive. I have to say you deserve some sort of award for that.

3. So what if he doesn't like illegal immigration? It's bankrupting this country in more ways than one. The fact that one man is being condemned for even mentioning it stuns and saddens me.

4. Who are you to determine what "hatespeech" is? Freedom of speech is pesky, isn't it?

5. Could we refrain from attacking the poor white people of Katy. They've never done anything to you, keep the elitism to yourselves.

Go Katy. Fight the developers and section 8. Don't let them destroy your community.

1. The US will suffer economic collapse.

2. There will be war in the Middle East.

3. They'll FINALLY close down the Sharpstown Mall.

Sharpstown could have a good future. BUT they need to tear down those apartments (and I do mean ALL of them), renovate the neighborhoods, and get draconian on transients and loiterers.

I came from a family with two parents who held college degrees that bought a house in the 70s in an area (SW Houston- Willowridge) that switched just like Westfield....the people moved as fast as they could and eventually began the Sugar Land migration....my old house has tripled in value, we have great highway access to every part of Houston now and lo and behold developers are building restaurants in the area now for a change...if you bought your house 10 years ago you can turn a profit easily

If your threatened by my skin color (lets be real, that's the story) then good riddance...you may need to study an area before you move and buy a billion dollar house and want to cry foul when an area changes

anyone with a brain who can see could see that the 1960 area was going to change back in the 90s.....ANYTIME a SUBURBAN DISTRCT BORDERS A MINORITY DISTRICT WITH ALOT OF MULTIFAMILY OPTIONS..THE SUBURBAN DISTRICT WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT

If I live in Greenspoint and I'm tired of the apartment living but want to stay close to the area for my family...where will a first time or move-up home buyer think on that side of town?

Will i move to?

Back towards Acres Home? Hidden Valley? (Aldine ISD)

Cy-Fair is kind of far...(no)

Humble? (maybe but still out there)

Hmmm....Spring is a nice area..Veterans Memorial has access directly to I-45....the Beltway is a good East-West Corridor..I see plenty of move-up options for me...Westfield High has a good football/basketball team so I can get exposure, etc.

also...they've built tons of apartments off 1960 in the past, alot of small starter homes and rarely do those areas remain the same so it was designed for Westfield to shift

if people would drive in their respective area/school zone before buying maybe they could make logical decisions....Spring's boundaries snake into Greenspoint...if you drive down Greens Road near Veterans near Claughton MS you will see alot of older Greenspoint neighborhoods zoned to Spring that's appealing to first time home buyers/rental opportunties, etc. so obviously Westfield will resemble that area..

I hate to bump an ancient thread, but that's simply not true. They could have fought the building of those monstrous complexes. They could have tried to preserve the character of the area. But they didn't. Frankly, I blame the lack of zoning being in unincorporated Harris County. I true tragedy of the highest calibur.

I haven't been there in a while, so I'm curious: how is the Klein area schools doing lately? I know Klein Forest is crap, but I've heard the rest of the district is starting to decline as well.

Really? I had no idea. It looked so great from what I saw of it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Okay, I currently live in Southern California, but I'll be moving to Houston soon with my wife and my parents. We've been looking for a new home for some time now, and recently we saw a great home for a really low price. I've heard that it's a fairly good place to live, but can anyone tell me more about it? Thank You.
