No need to tell us about the hordes moving into Austin.....that is old news. I'd be interested in hearing about folks moving into rural Central Texas. Here is my offering:
Last Summer I visited with the owner of the lumber yard in Hico. I asked him if the skyrocketing lumber prices were hurting his business, figuring projects had been put on hold. He told me just the opposite. Said there were lots of folks from California buying up land around Hico and building their dream homes. None were deterred by the prices of lumber, as they all had big money to burn.
He said the local joke around town was that there must be a sign at the border between CA and AZ that says "942 miles to Hico" (or whatever the correct distance is).
Anyone else seeing an invasion into rural Texas?
