We looked in Bridgeland. Really liked the neighborhood, but ultimately felt like The Woodlands had more to offer. I work in Cypress a little and have plenty of co-workers that live there.

Liberalism has successfully vilified our critical Institutions by pandering to the criminal class at the expense of Law Enforcement and The Rule of Law. A cop is the symbolic personification of everything these people despise. Authority, Civil society,respect for the rights of others, etc. And now we are getting the results. It has never been more "heroic" to kill a cop amongst the shite birds and there has never been as much moral relativism floating through the Zeitgeist fanning racial and anti-cop angst.
It's really fricking tragic. And not just for this guy's family, but for American society.

I grew up in Cypress (or as it was called it then before they adopted the trendy name "Cypress": Katy north of I-10/Bear Creek/Addicks.
It was nice back before all the farms were bought up around the turn of the century and turned into mega-super-cheap tract housing. Back when Gerland's was the only grocery store and Copperfield was for "rich people".
It's fricking awful now.
I'm sure peripheral neighborhoods like Blackhorse are still nice, and Bridgeland probably too, but everything else west of Eldridge, north of 10, south of 290 and east of 99 is a new thing I call a "suburban ghetto".
When gentrification occured at the same time that the government started pushing what would otherwise be Project-Dwellers into really cheap houses that could only be built way far out on what had been empty land, you ended up with what had been an inner-city problem for Houston and, formerly in many cases, New Orleans, tossed out into Cypress and what few good neighborhoods there had been were summarily surrounded by ghettos and ruined. Ironically, as a lot of inner-city neighborhoods became much nicer and whites moved back in, formely nice suburbs like greater "Cypress" got trashed.

We have a home in Lakemont. The entire area is ghetto now. It started about two years after moving there back in 2005. Yeah the area looks nice but as an example one of the houses was raided for hosting a cock fighting ring.
I maybe banned for saying this but the area is mostly black and Hispanic now which has brought with it certain elements and those elements are slowly creeping into the nicer parts of Katy. Drive up and down mason road to see what I mean.
Cypress is definitely suburban ghetto like another poster mentioned. Section 8 housing and the push to force neighborhoods to diversify is killing many nice neighborhoods.
I just shake my head every time I got back to Houston now.

Dark completed is pretty vague for a discription being that ever race has dark and light skim color.
Posted on 8/28/15 at 11:12 pm to tylercsbn9
Almost 15 years in law enforcement and until now I have never felt the need to carry off duty.
I fear it may get worse, especially if attackers start to get away with it.

It costs 500 for a year long concealed carry permit and in band holsters are about 50 bucks. Working on getting mine after 9 Louisiana cops have been killed so far.

I carry, legally. Each time I see an officer on a traffic stop lately, I slow down far more than normal and observe what's going on. I'm not sure what the hell I'd do if I actually saw one in need of assistance in a life threatening situation, but my conscious thought is to stop and do whatever is necessary to have his or her back if necessary.
It's a damn shame I even have reason to think that way.

Mason Rd south of I-10 looks cruddy but it doesn't at all feel unsafe. It simply lacks landscaping and the cleanliness that nicer parts of Katy have. The big threat though is all the frickkng apartments going up. Developers don't give a shite and the cycle of nice areas turning ghetto just never ends.
