Endless suburban sprawl, no thanks. I upgraded by moving to an older smaller house in a smaller city where I can walk to things but I still have a backyard.

Why is this happening?
People are moving to DFW because it has significantly lower housing prices than a lot of places with high cost of living, and an economy that lets potential homebuyers maintain enough of their income to come out ahead.
Those people are expanding the metroplex northward because people buying homes want new construction in suburbia.
