The east to northeast side of Houston was never desirable. You had really poor minority neighborhoods that petered out into a kind of rural slum among dense pine forests. The roads are narrow asphalt lanes with ditches along the side and it has a deep south country atmosphere. It's where the junkyards and landfills were/are. The Beltway wasn't even completed in this quadrant until 2012.
Jensen Dr. in Houston looks like a scene from a zombie movie. It's not so scary as it is just sad. Everything is abandoned and there are always people who look like they are very down on their luck jaywalking across the road in a daze.

Stray dogs and chickens in the street. I drive past that area all the time between downtown and Kingwood and you can see the blight and despair from 59.
