Tighter tables mean you should be open-raising more hands and attacking their nit'ness. Like raising KJs UTG.

I think it's dangerous to automatically bundle the table dynamic "weakness" into the table dynamic "tightness". It may be correct to raise that hand in a weak/tight game. It would not be correct to raise that hand in a tight/aggressive game.

We also shouldn't discount the factor that hands like this clearly fall into the gray area in terms of profitability. Those with solid post-flop skills are going to make these hands profitable while those with mediocre/poor post-flop skills are, at best, just adding variance to their game; more likely the bad players are turning a zero EV decision (in folding) into a -EV decision by playing the hand OOP.

That's a good point. So, I would add that most of the tables I play the preflop action is typically aggressive. If not, I adjust and begin to play looser.

Thanks for the link I will check it out.
