I don't think of the Woodlands as anything more than a mere suburb but it's one of the few suburbs in the Houston region that's doing it's job and pulling it's weight (the others being Sugar Land and Katy). The jobs, office space, and the like are necessary, there should be a major job center in every corner of the Houston metro. It will keep things decentralized, will keep the housing prices in check (further from DT = lower housing prices for new construction in undeveloped areas), and most of all it will keep the chokehold that is known as traffic from entering the loop more ferociously than it has been in decades past.
TBH I don't know what Parker and her constituents at METRO were thinking by delaying the LRT expansions of the Post Oak and Richmond lines, I wonder how often she actually sits in the traffic known as 610 @ 59 to feel for the people of her city.
