That one is Canyon Ridge. Wilderness Oak is another that looks really amazing. Hardy Oak is the same plan as Stone Oak and Roan Forest, I didn't think it was as impressive as the others. Right across the street from Hardy Oak Elem is the new Lopez Middle School, it's also very big.

And the are all filling up too. Great schools, huge - but still capped.

The most important feature I saw was how the schools are built for children safety. If the schools are capped, maybe they should build one centralized elem school to anticpate the growth.

Honestly, I don't think the city should issue building permits to builders/developers until they have paid for their "impact", ie. the land and construction of a new school.

If schools have to be capped, the developers shouldn't be able to get development permits till population subsides, unless they are willing to pay for a new school.

Well, the school district just waits for the homeowners to cough it up. I'm sure they welcome the developers with open arms.

There is a huge development going in at Hwy 16 and 211. It is my understanding that the developer has given 17 acres to NISD for an elementary. Of course this doesn't cover the millions it will cost to build the school but it helps.

IMO...I think the developers should be made to pay half the cost of new schools that will be necessary due to their new subdivisions. I think it is unfair to heap the cost onto the taxpayers. Also, I think they need to be responsible for the cost of all new roads.

Well, then the price of the home will reflect all that. We still end up paying, it just depends who you want to write the check to.
