Texas Sprawl Pushes Into Smaller Towns
When the interstate came to Texas' rural Comal County, it was suddenly in communting distance of San Antonio, San Marcos and Austin.
"In Comal County circa 2002, the Old World, small-town feeling is largely a memory. The new reality is urbanization, and the big question is what else to do about it... many believe San Antonio's northward sprawl threatens Comal County's unique identity, as well as its water supply and the natural beauty that makes it one of Texas' favorite playgrounds."
