I really hope this gets built. Fear of the unknown is what causes people to be prejudice and having low income people around you will show you that they are just like you. I hope this is the beginning of several apartments to be built in the Katy area. If you don't like it then move. You really shouldn't live so close to the city if you don't want to be near low income people.

i do too. don't know all the details of the project, but if it's putting low-income kids in better neighborhoods with better schools, i'm all for it.

Haha, fear of unknown... you're funny. It's not unknow. They already know it. It's Houston.

I agree with this. I think another would be nice smack down in the middle of River Oaks!

I just hate the condescending attitude of people on here and act like they're better than others. "Only poor thugs shop at Wal-Mart!" or "Eww building one of those trashy slums with poor minorities!!"

Yet these are the same people preaching to Houston bashers about Houston's open-mindedness and laid-back attitude.

I couldn't agree with you (or y'all) more. I hope it gets built, too.

Unlike some posters it seems, I don't want this thing to be built to spite others. This location is ridiculously close to the Katy Mills mall and the crap load of chain restaurants and various stores that have sprouted up due to the mall. Those nearby residents have long had a time to cry out "declining property values, increasing crime, and increasing traffic" when they built the mall, then all that commercial development that came along with it. The school is issue though can be legitimate.

Not everybody wants to live in a ghetto. Why not build in in Houston? And it's pretty racist of you to say Section 8 = Minorities. That's very low.

Racist?? It's been mentioned many times on here that the areas that people find rather depressing or unsafe are majority minority areas.

It's obvious you don't know what a ghetto is and was sheltered your whole life.

I think every person who lives in Houston knows what a ghetto is. Especially since we are talking about Houston, not New York ghettos.

BTW. I don't preach about Houston's open-mindedness and laid-back attitude. I don't think the other posters who said this every "preached" about it. And I don't even live in Katy.
I actually think you know very well what their point is and why they are against it. They talk about it in the article. You would do just the same.
