I don't know about you, but their is a huge difference between folks living West and East of the Trinity River. It must be the water....

Welcome to Austin.
I notice that, too. Seems like when you go further east in the DFW area, attitudes change. And I'm pretty sure there IS something in the Trinity, but it's not killing us, so I'm ok with it.

Phoenix and San Antonio grew the most over a 12 month period. Followed by Ft.Worth. Ft Worth grew by 20 percent between 2000 and 2006. San Antonio's boom started in mid 2005, so once 2007 numbers are in it will probably be one of the fastest if not the fastest in the state.

The fastest growing U.S. cities - Jun. 28, 2007

The fastest growing of any of the cities of more than 50,000 population was McKinney, Texas, which lies in the path of the outward expansion of Dallas. It has nearly doubled in size since 2000 to 107,530.
Other growth spurts occurred in Gilbert, Arizona (73.9 percent to 191,517), North Las Vegas (71.1 percent to 197,567) and Port St Lucie, Florida (61.9 percent to 143,868).
North Las Vegas led the nation in growth rate for the 12 months ended July 1, 2006. Its population increased 11.9 percent. Second was McKinney at 11.1 percent and Port St. Lucie was third at 9.9 percent.
Twelve-month numerical leaders included Phoenix (43,192), San Antonio (33,084) and Ft. Worth (30,202)

I've lived in both cities. And although I must say I would pick Austin over FW, mainly due to the fact that I love Austin's natural beauty, I've always maintained that Fort Worth is Texas' best kept secret.
