Well the Austin- San Antonio corridor is not fully connected yet, there still is alot of open land for development in the future.

I wouldn't say they were connected like DFW or Houston-Galveston, but it seems like there's definitely a lot of development along the I35. I would call them semi-connected.

I agree. Would be a travesty to pave over the hill country with concrete.
I would rather Austin and SA grew mire compactly with sparse development in the hill country

still doesnt escape the fact that the development is rather narrow strips. Dallas is much much closer to fort worth physically. To add to that there is over a million people living in between the two. There is tons of commerce including a massive airport in between the two.

There is less than 200k between SA and Austin. It is rather far compared to other multipolar metros. There is little to no commerce in between the two. Austin is growing towards the north and east while SA is being spread along the 1604 arc.

The area between Dallas and fw is obviousky driven by commerce.
The area between sa and austin is growing like the rest of Texas is growing. Austin and SA is connecting in the same manner that the Texas cressent is connecting. This is a phenomenon more of megaregions than just an SA to Austin thing.
All these metros are running together from Beaumont to Houston to college station to Austin and SA to Killeen to Waco to DFW to longview/tyler and eventually down to Nacogdoches and Lufkin

Seriously...pick somewhere else to live. Austin, Houston, and DFW are becoming unliveable due to the crushing congestion, constant road and utility construction, drought, and increasingly unstable electrical grid.

Go elsewhere. We're full.

Don't blame them for moving here, blame the city governments for promoting mindless, uncontrollable sprawl instead of efficient, well planned density.

Maybe you could write to Rick Perry and tell him to stop going after our jobs.

LOL like he'd listen to me. I've never voted for him and I don't plan to start now. He doesn't care one whit about what's good for the people of Texas. He serves a different master (big business).
