Just reading through some of the posts here, if the loss of a bucolic environment is truly distirbing, elevate the road surface and deface the minimal topography.

Have you been to BCS lately?Quote:
It would be sad if BCS became a suburb of Houston. You'd see the local flavor disappear. Vernacular architecture replaced by strip malls and generic suburban housing. Local restaurants replaced by chains. Unique shops replaced by Target, Wal-Mart, and a Mall.

Since when is this a bad thing?
This might be a great idea if the people of the Grimes county go for the proposal.

Bcs is too far to ever be a suburb of Houston.
Unless trends change BCS will be a suburb in 100 years or so. Magnolia is practically a suburb now and that city is halfway between BCS and Houston. Houston has been expanding almost 1/2 mile a year for decades now. The invention of air conditioning after WW2 altered population trends in this country.
One day all of Texas will be just one big city.
With a few 10 acre ranches in between.
Maybe we can get them to go around Rock Ridge.
That was horrible sarcasm then
Going to call it the petteway tollway.
That means someone is going to have to go back for a whole ****load of dimes

Most of that country is rangeland or pasture. It's supposed to be that way.
We'll always have West Texas and a few SuperFund sites for people who like to play cowboy and ***** about development.TAMU_91 said:

We won't if you mother effers keep moving out here!
Please, and with all respect due to a fellow Ag, stay in your own crappy part of the state.
Quit moving to Houston and Houston will quit growing.
I don't think the dozens of people moving from west TX to Houston is your problem, but that's a good deal as long as you keep your ass east of the Pecos!
Interesting perspectives. Germany manages to blend agriculture, rangeland and urban development relatively well, as does England, Denmark, and the Netherlands. One sometimes wonders why "it jus' cain't be done here"..
Isn't that what we are calling our run defense these days?Quote:
The Aggie expressway
The tollway from Seguin to Austin is deserted asphalt that promised to take traffic off I35 ......
It is making a good 200 mph test strip for Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge though.

The most beautiful thing about land is what gets done with it when it's developed.RPM said:
It's not a new highway. It will connect SH249 to SH105 east of Navasota and cut through a bunch of beautiful land that will eventually get developed and no longer be beautiful.

They dont build crappy track housing that turns onto glorified govt housing after about a decade forcing people to keep moving further and further out. And until recently, they had control of "the faucet" pouring more and more folks in...
either trolling or you live in a soulless burbs like Katy, Sugarland or one of the Dallas burbs.phatbeast said:The most beautiful thing about land is what gets done with it when it's developed.RPM said:

You can go right to hell, buddy!
Ever been to Yellowstone, Glacier or Leakey to Medina?
I've always hated nature. I only hope that longevity technology will advance enough that I live to see the entire earth covered in concrete and turned into one gigantic city.RPM said:either trolling or you live in a soulless burbs like Katy, Sugarland or one of the Dallas burbs.phatbeast said:The most beautiful thing about land is what gets done with it when it's developed.RPM said:
