I am talking about BRAND NEW communities
not something that's been around for 200 years and has been gentrified multiple times.

In this new economy I don't see how a community that was cut out of bush and forest just ten years ago can "bounce back".

All the nabes I'm mentioning now are in Houston area and were all just built between 2001 and 2006.

Hell, some that were built in Cypress (NW Houston) just a few years ago are starting to look like shit just from the main road.

Asians don't make up enough of a population to have this problem.
I wonder if Latinos have this problem?
