Give it a generation or two...although that would certainly not be the measure of whether a place was changing.

One billion is a drop in the bucket. Texas spends that on high school football stadiums.

I would not be too sure about that. The younger generation is rebelling against someone else trying to think for them.... and they love to troll.

Not really. The most expensive high school stadium in the U.S. is Legacy Stadium in Katy, TX.

Not sure why we needed a $72 million stadium...but we got one. The facility is shared by eight high schools in the Greater Katy Metroplex.

They have a team that's usually in the running for the state title, and the voters approved it. There's really nothing else to be said.

From December 2018... Apple is Building a $1 Billion Campus in Austin, Texas

Tech giant Apple has announced plans to build a $1 billion campus in Austin Texas, along with smaller facilities in Seattle, San Diego, and Culver City. The Austin plans, images of which have not been released, will see the creation of at least 5,000 jobs in the Southwestern city as house prices in the San Francisco Bay area begin to discourage creatives from Silicon Valley.

...
In return for building the new facility, Apple is expected to receive up to $25 million from a jobs-creation fund in Texas, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. While significant, the figure is far below the $2.8 billion Amazon could receive in return for expanding its operations in New York, as well as the $750 million figure it could receive in Virginia.


We need to educate people as to why Texas works. We need to have an assimilation program for California and NE liberals as well as illegal aliens from the south.
Lol. Austin has been blue forever. Beto won Travis 3:1

I never even understood being this unhinged.

I cannot stand Trump
I cannot stand SJW types.

I can see someone wearing a MAGA hat or one of those "Check your privilege" T shirts and do something radical. See them, do a mental eye roll, then do absolutely nothing about it, leaving said wearer unbothered.

You're assuming the transplants can vote....between illegal immigration from south of the border and the flood of H1Bs, none of those people can vote. Just saying.

I assume the transplants that are being discussed are the ones coming from north of the border. The shifting hue of the state is occurring independent of the visitors from the south and overseas
