I live in Fulshear, and I would say that is prob true. It’s crazy

 

Not a good thong.

 

Thing

 

Poor texas... you guys might be the next cali.

 

I certainly hope not. Its bad enough we have Utah transplants already meddling in our local elections.

 

Just to keep things in proportion, these are all small cities, if all the people who moved to these cities moved to NYC or LA instead, the population of NYC or LA would have remained unchanged.

 

In reality there are way more people in and around these cities than the census reports. I have been working in Kyle for the past 2 months and the traffic is congested. The city limits in some of these smaller towns hardly tell the full story, same with Georgetown, TX.
The whole story is the fact that 1,400 people are moving to Texas every day and dispersing throughout the state, hence the reason why so many areas are exploding including mine. NYC is losing population, these are based on % points gained, not whole populations. So yes proportion percentages are what are important here. These areas grew larger by percentages than any other city over 20k.

It's changing Texas for the worst because the majority are fleeing blue states.

 

My condolences. Probably all refugees from blue states who will appreciate your standard of living but vote for the same things they left behind. Cancer grows too.

 

Goodbye city identity.
All new, not local, same designs, with sprawl of supply chains with it.
High speed version of what I have witnessed in my area since the 80s.
Right now the divide and construct virus has gone full spread.
Roads for motorcycling at fun speeds are no longer safe, driveways put in all the wrong places.

Any of these TX small cities caught mid stride in sprawl when housing tanks.
Will have plenty of no income housing for crime educated.
It is coming.

 

I love sprawl. I love when people flee rundown blighted cities and create new “towns” of people fleeing the same thing. I like brand new homes surrounded by brand new stores and brands new everything. I like these new exoburbs in Texas where you have a nice home on 3-5 acres yet can drive down the FM road and get some Thai food at a brand new shopping center. I like the brand new schools.

Sprawl is freedom. It truly represents the buyer demand rather than the “urban planner” dictating where people, street lights and trees shall go all financed with bloated property taxes. Sprawl is good.

 

Why the facepalm? I’m being legit here.

 

LOL - You described my town. Development at any cost.

 

Yes, we ARE growing the fastest:

AND WE ARE FULL. GO AWAY. TEXAS IS AT CAPACITY.

 

Texas has pretty weak zoning laws.

 

Good. Zoning laws can be used for good, but almost always and generally for bad. If they threaten to put a section 8 slum nearby, I can always move.

 

I am not convinced that 'growth' is a good thing.

I live in a township of 135 people, this feels nice

 

California company moves to texas, interesting Cuban success story.

 

“ Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them”

Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them.

The “Texas Miracle” loses some of its magic as Oracle announces it’s moving its new HQ out of Austin and Tesla lays off nearly 2,700 workers.

“ In December, perhaps not coincidentally after Austin’s most miserably hot summer ever, TechCrunch wrote that start-ups were fleeing the city, which was “losing its luster.” Not surprisingly, some of the Californians who moved here during the pandemic realized they had traded Edenic weather for 110-degree summers and no income tax, and they decided that the income tax wasn’t that bad. That was reflected in the tech industry’s financials. Venture capitalists invested $6.75 billion in Austin start-ups in 2021, but in 2023 they invested only $3.8 billion. (Funding also fell in Palo Alto amid an industry-wide crunch, but the Bay Area remained king by far, with companies there raising more than $60 billion in investment in 2023.)”

Tesla moving engineering HQ back to California

The move back to California comes only two years after the company moved its headquarters to Texas in a bid to avoid the state's red tape.
