A lot of projecting in his post

Because hardly anyone smiles and most of the women have resting bitch faces.
I have been to places where people seemed genuinely unhappy, and the people in the Kingwood and Atascocita area are quite pleasant.

Opinions vary.

The real issue with Kingwood is the lack of community. People live in their own little bubbles and only interact with their peers and neighbors if it involves their kids.
But Kingwood is not unique in that sense. The issue is more or less common in suburban America today.

you could say that about all of the Houston area to varying degrees

That's a good question. More of an ideal-type from the past or something like that. You know ... Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft and all that. Not sure Kingwood fits either mold, we need a new word. Maybe "Getrenntzusammenschaft."

I am convinced they have the most miserable residents. They pretty much all have an over inflated perception of self importance.
So you’ve met the thousands of people who live there to come to your conclusion?

Curious if this got 10 upbites and zero downvotes. It’s the most nothing post I can possibly think of

I am pretty sure this describes most of America - especially non ghetto America - in 2018.

Or, congrats on that big-arse private school tuition (and you have to pay property taxes to Houston ISD, too).

Living in Dallas, Kingwood is probably the only place I would visit in Houston

I'll give you an example.
My family moved from the New Orleans area to the Kingwood area in 1998, when I was a kid.
Kids used to always be outside riding bikes, playing sports, whatever. Parents used to always be outside socializing.
I can remember many nights we'd have block parties where all the neighbors from the street would come down to one end of the street in front of someone's house and everyone would bring food, set up tables, play music, socialize, etc. while the kids would all be in the street playing. Reminded me of the 4th of July scene from the movie The Sandlot.
But it's not really like that anymore in a lot of places. People would rather stay inside playing on their iPad.
And one point about Kingwood... it's not really that old. It was built in what.. the 70's? In 1990 Kingwood had like 20,000 people. Today it has something like 80,000 people.
So the people who live in Kingwood haven't lived there for generations like towns in other places. So you don't have that long history of community where people have known each other's families for generations.

A very good point.

Back in the 90s, I spent a lot of time in Kingwood. My boss lived there so just about any meeting involved golf at Kingwood Country Club. Back then it was a good place to live. Like all places, the demographics change so don’t know what it’s like now, but back then it was great.

Kingwood was nice, until Houston annexed it. Naturally the democrat mayors ignored the streets (and who knows what else) so now they're just awful, especially Kingwood Drive. Place is slowly turning ghetto, and the massive flooding may have hastened the decline. No doubt the place was ONCE top notch. Sad.

I lived in BR over 40 years, and now in NW Harris county (Houston burbs) 12 years. Your statement above is true.
Except for the seafood.
