The urban sprawl here is because all the Republicans moved out of Austin. Most of the city is liberal, and the outlying areas are basically Conservative. Every time the city decides to annex more subdivisions, urban sprawl starts up again.

I lived just inside Williamson County up until 1990, and then moved further out, but back into Travis County. I wish we had stayed there, but the schools lacked the quality we wanted for our only daughter, so we moved to a smaller town a few miles further out.

The small town I live in, voted about 70% for President Bush in 04. There were very few john/john yard signs in our area, but plenty of Bush/Cheney signs.

Same here in Indy. However dem control of the city is dragging it down. We did finally get rid of a Dem governor and got Mitch Daniels. He is bringing a lot of jobs and a big boost to our ecomomy. You know, the dems are so backwards and gripe about every new opportunity arising as if it is BIG Government. You give them jobs and opportunity and they moan that the people that are doing this are big oil, big drugs, big auto. Can't have it all. But at least we got rid of those that were keeping our state in the stone age. For the time being.
