Here it is October, posted my previous posts defending Frisco back in January when many were predicting Frisco's quick and ultimate demise. FWIW, I have had my best year selling cars here in Frisco in five years of selling. Funny looking back on an old thread.

Those of you who think Frisco will ever die, are clearly delusional and obviously devoid of any knowledge when it comes to the infrasturcture of cities.
Frisco is just too established - with it's own economic support bases, high median incomes, and popular destination for relocatees (Frisco was the fastest growing city in the US a few years ago) for it ever to fall into oblivion.
Frisco will continue to grow as Dallas continues to grow.
I don't think any suburb in Dallas will ever "die". There will be shifts in population, and some areas will fare better than others, but the low cost of living relative to the median income in many Dallas suburbs will ensure that communities continue to survive.

Renting out rooms in Mansions/McMansions is not unprecedented - it's happened many times in many cities over the years. This is probably how Frisco will decline because from what I have seen and heard, most of the homes are not that well built in the first place. Also Frisco is completely dependent on highways, gasoline and automobiles.
HOAs may or may not be able to stop this trend. Would they rather have foreclosures or rooming houses?
