I agree with you on the fact that Killeen is diverse. Growing up in that area and still having ties to it, I find that Killeen and Waco have more in common as far as demographics and other stuff than Killeen and Waco have with Temple. Temple IMO seems kinda pretentious. Killeen really needs to diversify its economy more and not rely so much on Ft. Hood. Imagine what would happen in the event of a major military cutback there. It would be economic disaster. Unless Waco starts growing more than it currently is I see Killeen surpassing Waco probably in 10-15 years. I like Killeen, but I would never live there.

Well, despite its severe lack of ammenities, I love Killeen and visit every chance I get. The hills are such a breath of fresh air from flat Houston.

No No I grew up in Waco, but have friends that lived in Killeen. They moved about 3 years ago. Thats the last time I was in Killeen.

Yeah the topography of that area is beautiful. Especially along Lake Belton.

I lived in Houston so I can sympathize with you on hating the flat terrain.

Oh, yeah. If Houston was as hilly as Central Texas, I would have no complaints. In fact, everything else the city lacks wouldn't even matter to me.

Anyway, guys, the Texas Triangle wouldn't be totally saturated. There will be still be acres of rural land that probably won't be built on in our lifetimes. The I-35 corridor is seeing growth in the cities along it, but I just don't think that the entire stretch from Austin to Dallas will be totally urbanized.
