I just went there for the first time since I moved out, 10 years or so. That city has exploded, I was shocked at how much has moved in.
Only cause of Texas State.
The whole area exploded. We got all sorts of people fleeing other states, such as New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, Oregon, and Washington.
It also doesn't hurt that Texas was one of only 2 states who were not effected by the housing crisis and the Great Recession that ended (finally) in 2016.
Every city in the area exploded. Including La Vernia. *** La Vernia! Whose only reason for existence is being between Victoria and San Antonio, but damn we had to put the rejects
somewhere. Might as well be there!
In the past 10 years we have had 15 major corporations move in with various industrial plants, the largest one being Caterpillar. Only real problem we have is too many mini-malls!
God damn mini-malls!
