re: Building high density apartment complexes in affluent suburbs

That's exactly where he lives. Somewhere between Cypress and Spring of you're looking at it on a map.
I used to envy him considering the shitty Louisiana public school system. Now, it's basically as bad according to him. Rampant bullying and fights, the school system isn't doing shite. Like a low income avalanche of kids.

I seriously doubt that these people are moving for education. It's for free rent in a brand new apartment that they can destroy

We have one of those complexes too
There are divorced women and men in it, all driving luxury vehicles. I've heard it's like the Olympic Village in there, if you know what I mean.

We moved here for the schools, and the local high school was ranked 12th in the state (out of roughly 400). There were roughly 2400 kids in the high school and it was one of the most successful clusters in the state. About 20 years later, the enrollment is over 3400 and it's ranked 100th.
The added housing isn't section 8 housing, but it is high density housing, town homes, and apartments.

He's not a rich guy by any stretch, pretty middle of the road, middle class. But the low income element brought some serious behavioral issues from those kids. One kindergarten kid threatened to slit the throats of his kid and their family. Freaking kindergarten man. The school said they talked to the parents.

5 miles away? Wow, you must be in a really unpopulated area if you get worked up about some Section 8 Apartments being built 5 miles away from you.
In most metropolitan areas, literally every house is within 5 miles of an area that's already a full blown ghetto, forget about being within 5 miles of an area that's seemingly about to decline into a ghetto.

That's either Klein or Tomball with Klein the worst of the two

I think there was some form of 'flight' in the 50's and 60's that stymied this a bit back then

The more relevant point is about school districts

Tomball sounds right but I'm not sure. He's said the creep of the low income housing has basically trashed what used to be a great area. I think he's going to be selling and moving to Magnolia.
Edit: Just remembered, he's by FM 1960. I remember that now because when I first heard that, I had no freaking idea what an "FM" was.

Klein has gotten pretty rough from what i hear.
Blame the apartments all you want but the sub-divisions over there have gotten pretty hood too. Just take a trip up kuykendall
Houston metro has a new sub-division being built in burbs and exburbs every day. Each one has the biggest pool or whatever to attract people
The cycle of Nice Burb>affordable burb>ghetto can happen pretty fast

I use Kuykendahl almost daily but never venture further south than Creekside Park but 1488 is becoming a disgusting monstrosity.

White flight was ultimately a failure, especially when it fueled suburban sprawl and eventually led to cruddy car-centric suburbs that (surprise!) were never going to stay 99% white.

There are not many jobs here
I’m not sure that is going to matter to those that will inhabit those apartments.

It was semi rural. Imagine what Covington was probably like in the 80s. Progress ain't stopping. So many people moved here. Cookie cutter houses going up.
My neighborhood is all custom homes on half an acre. Hills, wildlife, very nice but the shite of the city is moving up closer and closer and will eventually surround us. Good news I guess is my neighborhood is huge. So unless you're on the far edge, there's a good amount of buffer. Most of the development I don't like is close to 281.

First the giant complex. Then when it doesn’t fill up, the section 8 comes. The final death blow will be the bus line. When you see a bus stop, time to sell if you haven’t already left.

The only thing WORSE for an area than a bus line stop is a highway/interstate off ramp. Quick in and out for the criminally minded people.
