Thing is, sprawl goes out to Marble Falls, Rockdale, and San Marcos.Yeah Austin's weird. But there are a dozen fantastic towns to live in around it. The libs like to congregate in large cities.Nah... Texas is still mostly empty it just seems like it's being eaten up when you are within an hour's drive of the big cities. Go a bit further down the highway, or get off the highway and it's still wide open country.I remember when Hwy 1960 was a quite country road we used to bypass Houston.
Now the cities and 'burbs are eating up all the best of Texas, like Atlanta did to NWGA.
A UT graduate, I left Texas and never looked back.
Austin is so Californicated it disgust me.
I tried to take my kids to Zilker Park, and there were geriatric queers in thongs playing Frisbee.
My kids are inheriting ranch land in another part of Texas; I might go visit them when they move; otherwise, I have no use for the place.
Yeah,sadly enough you dont want to live in Austin.
It's depressing what they've done to that town.
I think 20 million people have been added to Texas since I graduated.
Yeah but it's still pretty much empty. Just a bit more crowded around the big cities. You have to be willing to move once every 15years or so to keep out in front of the herd leaving the hell holes.
