It's fucking retarded when you think about how many people are willing to put up with this.

Texans dont seem to care about distance as far as actual miles but rather in time. We know how many hours it takes to get to each city. If you think just driving to San Antonio is bad, I know people that drive from Houston to work in Austin. Thats why I said that distance is not really the issue that people are making it out to be. IN 30 years you have 3 to 4 million more people in the Austin/ San Antonio area. It will be filled in between the two cities.
