Re: Look out Tejas!!!
Nothing new about it, theyāve been coming for several years. It probably has accelerated since Covid however. The real estate developers donāt care though. Theyāre bulldozing trees, flattening the natural terrain, filling in ponds and lakes so they can build more houses. The poor saps that are buying those houses have no idea the home was built on āfillā - itās a foundation repair waiting to happen.
The looming problem is thereās not enough water to support all the growth. The underground aquifers are being rapidly depleted as the cities and farmers pump more and more water from them. There is only so much area available for building reservoirs for surface water. Yes there is a lot of land in Texas, but much of it is arid west Texas. And nobody wants a new reservoir on their land. Water and water rights are the next big fight coming to Texas. Those moving here I droves donāt know it - yet.

Californians know all about lack of water. Now Texas just needs mudslides, earthquakes and wildfires to make it a California Paradise.Mumbleypeg wrote: āTue Feb 18, 2025 9:43 pm . . .
