Land In The Hill Country

Land in and around west of Austin and Waco has gone crazy with people relocating. There is an average of 40% more people buying in these areas from last year. And an even crazier note, people buying in West Texas has gone up 50%. Now, I lived in Odessa many years ago and it is not for everybody. Flat and dry and nothing to look at. But, there were usually no one around so it was very quiet. Not much to do either. Odessa is kinda different from some other West Texas towns but I have seen much of that part of the state and that is pretty much how it all is. From the Mexican border to Panhandle...and from San Angelo to El Paso...pretty much looks the same. When surveyed, people say the reason they are moving out of the cities is because of social unrest and worried their city is poorly managed (read defund the police/crime and homeless problems)
