While the new development brings in new retail and grocers some of the upscale businesses in the older areas pack up and leave in order to follow the new growth. the voids are often filled with places like Fiesta Mart. taqueria arandas. Pollo places, Tatoo parlors, 24hr video stores, Liqour stores, Check cashing places, GAME ROOMS, 3.99 hair cut places, Washaterias, Carnecerias etc.

If you want to see good examples of this go look at the 1960/Champions area, Mission Bend/Towne West, Alief amd the list goes on.
What are you saying? That Sugar Land is/will go downhill? What Sugar Land has that the areas above don't have is that it is it's own incorporated city with it's own zoning. Honestly, the house prices in Sugar Land seem really high. You're a Real Estate Agent. What are you saying? That the area will go ghetto and housing values will decline?

Ah, so Fiesta is a Hispanic grocery store - I don't see anything wrong with that, given Houston's population. It's not like that'll bring additional crime to the area.

You must not know "Francisco" well enough for him to be comfortable calling him "Paco".

Too bad we have to move soon...

Please explain in more detail how/why this "demographic shift" would occur in Sugar Land, as I am a bit puzzled...
