Urban Sprawl must be Stopped

[Gregoshi]

Thanks for the invite sfts. I'll pack up my family of dirty yankees and head on down to friendly San Antone.

BTW, it is happening up here in dirty Yankylvania too. We breed like rodents apparently.

Nope, you're living out the American dream, that's living in a large house with a large garden far away from downtown. That it makes urban sprawl to a large epidemic problem is another issue.

But, yeah I know the feeling, suddenly the wild area were you've been into for several years is turned into houses.

Same thing has been happening in the area I live in the States. The wonderful hills and vallies have been disappearing to houses. Our township bought enormous amounts of property and turned it into parks in order to stop the development though. And they are wonderful parks with a nice view of the lakes, city, and capital on the horizon. You can do it to, minus the bit about lakes and the capital.

And now a rant. I live outside of 1604 in San Antonio TEXAS now when I moved here 9 years ago my mum wanted to move in closer becuase she didnt want to live this far out in the country. Me on the other hand loved it I use to be able to explore and find deer snakes and even a coyote now and then (dont worry I ran) Now here I sit and my beatufial hill country is being whored by dirty yankees and captilst pig city planners. I now live in a vitrual zone of suffacation. Not to mention its getting worse. I am now in fear of actually becoming a city slicker. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. Orgahs we think of how to stop this.

It's a sad fact this, but Texas is the 2nd most populous state and also takes the #1 slot as the fastest growing state. Even though Texas somehow is the butt of all jokes on the coasts apparently they all want to be a Texan.

You could always take a more zealous approach to your right to protect your property (love that law in Texas.) Buy a 12 gauge and couple hundred rounds and have some fun when someone strays onto your property. I usually go out to a friends down south of Wako on the 4th and its always nothing but wide open fields.

Though I prefer calivarous county in CA or northern CA/Oregon's rainforest to the wide open fields of Texas, I still find them an amazing site. It will be a sad day if they go the way of the dinasour (unless your a puritan, in which case I mean the way of the dodo).

I don't think you can equate that.
I don't think people are really moving to Texas to become Texans, they are moving there because apparently Texans have the best land. They will take their values with them, and over time Texans might not be the ones that currently suffers jokes at the mouths of these other people.
