(9,118 posts)I dont live there, but Ive stayed there. Yes it is on the edge or inside of metro Houstons sprawl. Folks of all colors who cant afford their houses closer to downtown Houston or the Loop are going to buy there. A lot of 1st and 2nd generation immigrants, prosperous, educated, are also buying homes and setting up businesses.
Latinos (And in Texas, that means of Mexican ancestry) are also moving there thanks to prosperity and some fair-housing laws.
So these guys are facing the obvious and blinking: the days when Fort Bend County was a collection of small, white-dominated towns surrounded by farmland are over, gone, and done with. And they arent coming back, no matter what the Orange One, Q Anon, Faux Noise, and other purveyors might try to sell the on.
