Musk headed to Bastrop

Remember when Bastrop was just a small rural place? It is now becoming Austin east...

There will soon be just one big metro from San Antonio to Waco and Bastrop will be swallowed up in it.

What would make it "not" a suburb of Austin? The distance is the same from Dallas center to Prosper, and that would be considered still the suburbs up here. I haven't traveled that area in a while. Is it just the lack of urban sprawl between them?

I can't see Musk putting the company there if the infrastructure wouldn't support it.

Idk. Musk himself has made a hard right turn lately. And at least at X/Twitter, the lefties have been being fired and voluntarily jumping ship. I guess it comes down to how many California employees come along...

Depends on who he brings with him.....

Valid question. Answer, time.

Urban sprawl and suburbs. I see you are in Frisco. First time I drove through Frisco, in the 70s, it was not a suburb. Population under 2K, with 2 operating gas stations. Preston between Richardson and Frisco was a 2 lane bar ditch road, gravel in some places. Prosper was under 500 occupied dwellings. Now Prosper, as well as Celina and Gunther are suburbs. Simply a function of time.

He seems to be a believer in the idea that noone is irreplaceable.. And as hard right as he's heading I doubt he isn't cognizant of where he's going and why. If he liked lefties he'd have stayed in Cali.

We wouldn't have so many 'suburbs' if the c-19 jab had worked as planned...

I was there not long ago, it's getting pretty jacked-up. Now it's going to spread down 71 and screw up LaGrange.
