Not many people, but the funny thing is that's not nearly all the way across the Metroplex, & its still over an hours drive.

How about McKinney to White Settlement at 1 hour 13 minutes or 1 hour 50 minutes in traffic?

Have you even seen the two new 300 something foot tall twin condos that were built just a few years ago right on the water?

How about the new 400 ft. tall condo in Clear Lake?

Shows how much you know.
Clear Lake =/= Galveston

Hell, who knows, Tyler could be a suburb of Dallas by then.

I'm not going to go back and forth with you all night, but you're choosing the extremes to try to make your point.

Your Galveston comment compared the distance from the far southwest corner of Houston to the beach. Why don't you measure the distance from The Woodlands to Galveston if you want your "argument" to hold water.

They will be connected....in the form of low rise to mid rise high level density, not skyscrapers. Its already quite evident this is happening in the picture above.

I give it 15-20 years. Houston's inner loop is booming & getting more dense by the day.

Yea, I was going to say the same thing, but arguing with this MM person is worthless.

We could always copy it for you. You big turtlehead you.

I've thought of doing ignore on several posters but that would take all the fun out of it. I kind of get a good laugh out of their preposterous comments. Everyone needs some laughter
