Looks like recent immigration reform rumours making people to panic and effecting housing market. That may be reason for slowdown i guess.

I don't really understand the report.

Lawton, OK--where I went to high school and where my parents retired--was rated near the top, but the Lawton economy has been stagnant for a couple of decades. The main movement in the housing market is the repple-depple cause by Ft Sill army post, which naturally moves lots of soldiers in and out every year.

You are over simplifying the reason they move here. Its about more than prices. Why would you think they don't understand this simple idea that their move impacts the local market. You aren't giving them enough credit or prefer things overly simplified for other reasons.

A Fortune 50 company who moved here, as NYC the long commutes resulted in a 7 hour work day for the lower level staff members. Over regulation made doing business in the city a massive hassle and the NE attitudes toward a manufacturing company were down right hostile.

Are prices a factor, of course they are but hardly the only one

Sadly, I see some of this hostility towards manufacturing and production starting to creep in here as well. Maybe it is a function of the relocations or the general media fixation on "tech", but companies and professions involved in actually producing goods are consistently looked down upon.

People will drive down a new highway talking on a cell phone while heading to their brand new home and then deride the cement plant that produced the infrastructure materials, the drilling and refining activity that produces fuel for their SUV, the power plant that produces power to plug in their phone, and the manufacturing facilities making the drywall and insulation for their home. Not everyone can be employed solely managing data. We still need the capacity to produce goods and utilities.

Texas has "benefited" from the pro-business attitude, especially under Gov. Perry.

* The tax incentives used to lure major corporations to the state simply shift the burden to individuals (sales tax, property taxes).
* Real estate economists will tell you that for every 1.5 net new jobs (real wage jobs) you need another housing unit (apartment, condo, single-family dwelling). Until housing developers keep up with demand, there will be upward pressure on prices.
* As housing supply increases, there is an increased demand for government services...police, fire, schools, etc. In other words, more taxes. In theory, this should be covered by the new property...but the effect is disproportionate, especially for older residents.
* Roads are another matter as the Metroplex sprawls (i.e. Frisco/Prosper/McKinney), congestion increases, commutes suffer, and more toll roads/lanes are proposed.

Unless/until we see a significant slowdown in the economy, this isn't going to get "better"

I reject the idea that new jobs like Toyota do not help the metro. If you ever lived in a dying no growth metro you could see it too if you opened mind and eyes.

Job adds increase revenue thru property and sales taxes of the individuals alone that pay for the incremental cost of services provided to Toyota and it's employees when they are here. Tax abatement for relocating companies is not permanent either. Only an inefficient bloated gov would need more tax revenues to pay for the demands of new jobs and residents.

I have heard this false claim from the liberal no growth crowd and disagree with it.

These Toyota jobs are paid for by money from country wide car sales. This new money in our economy creates multiples of jobs by businesses supplying services to Toyota in my example an their employees. Those who don't like this or don't believe it have options, they can move to dying job states with no growth to satisfy there status quo desires.
