Texas has doubled in population in my lifetime. It hasn’t been good.

Date: March 20th, 2025 1:39 PM Author: Vigorous lettuce round eye Texas is a bizarre place that has had explosive urban and suburban growth across its major Texas Triangle cities for the last 50 years. These places are all almost unrecognizable compared to what they were in 1975. In DFW, there were no southern suburbs, and the the northern suburbs stopped at Plano. Now the northern suburbs go out to Melissa and Prosper and Denton. Fort Worth has expanded west and Weatherford and Azle are now suburbs. It’s expanded south into Johnson County. Dallas has expanded south to Red Oak and Waxahachie. On the east side, the Dallas suburbs have stormed the Rock Wall and reach all the way to Greenville. In Houston the northern suburbs extend past Willis. The sprawl does not stop until you hit the sea 100 miles to the southeast. From Mont Belvieu to the Brazos River. The stretch from San Antonio to Austin and up to Kileen is almost one big mega city sprawl now too. I haven’t driven it, but it seems like there’s no end on 35. Something like 25 million people live in the Texas Triangle. In these places the weather is bad, the cost of electricity is high, the cost of insurance is astronomical, the people are weird, the food is bad, the landscape is awful, the business climate is weird and cliquey. It is a truly awful subregion of the USA. |

They keep building these neighborhoods with houses that I cannot imagine anyone ever wanting to buy and live in. They're also building single family homes that are supposed to be rentals? It's horrible tract housing out in the middle of nowhere. Not only is there no train, but there's not even a bus option. And the commute is 90 minutes under perfect conditions, 2 hours on an average day, and could be up over 3 hours on a bad day. And this is each way. Nobody's going to want to be in their car for 4 hours a day. Yet these houses keep going up so either these people just don't have jobs or work from home. Either way it creates a weird community.

Houston is a sprawling mess that is now proudly the most diverse city in America.
Dallas has historically been viewed a a punitive place to work (“equities in Dallas!”).
The state comes with a huge hidden tax burden in the form of property taxes on overpriced cardboard-clad developer houses that require massive amounts of air conditioning.
The only redeeming factor of Texas today is that it votes consistently conservative, but their conservatives are these weird pro-police state neocons who think businesses can do nothing wrong. |
