I think the southeast eat will be booming really soon in 15 or so yrs when you drive to Galveston it will look like you have never left Houston at all
I also think the southwest will be booming to look at all the open land close to south main & the beltway so when you drive from Houston to Richmand Rosenberg down south main it will look like you never left Houston

I hope you see traffic jams and car pollution as well.

I think all areas will grow because Houston (in general) is growing rapidly. I think the north parts will change the most, and the west parts will spread more. The innerloop will fill in more since my generation prefers city life to life out in the burbs.

Fort Bend County is a dark horse in all of this. Technically, it would be west/southwest and would include obvious places like Sugar Land, Richmond, and Sienna but also Fulshear and the southwest portion of Cinco. Highest median family income of all counties in the Houston metro and one of the highest in the state. Closer and more conveniently located to areas of interest in Houston such as the TMC, Museum District, Galleria and the EC than comparable places like The Woodlands. Has its own business base as well, mostly in Sugar Land and Stafford; several large companies and a few HQs. High educational levels and one of the lowest obesity levels in the state.

Actually all of Cinco, except for an exclave in Harris County around the South Fry Road & Westheimer Pkwy intersection, is in Fort Bend County.

Sounds like Fort Bend is in for a boom on top of a boom.

No, there are more areas of Cinco Ranch in Harris than that.

Does this mean that we'll be getting a Whole Foods in the north side soon? Katy has one!
