Yes because the villages of Houston or The Woodlands is so different from the K-Town area.
You both are now just being homers; I love Houston just as much as you guys, but K-Town is no different than anything you find in the suburbs of Houston. It blends in with the rest of north Houston. Heavily forested and suburban.

Spring Branch area is more dense & diverse than those suburbs you mentioned.
I don't think he can even say it resembles the suburbs if he doesn't know what suburbs look like.
it is almost a universal belief on here that suburban is the opposite of urban. It is not.
so you cannot look at something and say "it does not look urban, so it is suburban. Many people too on CD has been brainwashed by northeasterners into believing a super dense area is urban, and if it is not superdense it is not urban (an as mentioned above they think if it is not urban then it is suburban). Kidphilly and Spade are notorious for making this mistake

An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets.
Urban areas are created and further developed by the process of urbanization. Measuring the extent of an urban area helps in analyzing population density and urban sprawl, and in determining urban and rural populations (Cubillas 2007).
Unlike an urban area, a metropolitan area includes not only the urban area, but also satellite cities plus intervening rural land that is socio-economically connected to the urban core city, typically by employment ties through commuting, with the urban core city being the primary labor market. In fact, urbanized areas agglomerate and grow as the core population/economic activity center within a larger metropolitan area or envelope.

Suburb mostly refers to a residential area. They may be the residential areas of a city, or separate residential communities within commuting distance of a city. Some suburbs have a degree of political autonomy, and most have lower population density than inner city neighborhoods
The suburbs can be superdense (as in the residential areas surrounding manhatten, or sparse as in most areas surrounding many sunbelt cities.
stop confusing yourself people. it is easier if you think of urban as areas driven by commerce and suburban as areas primarily geared to residences.
