More people, more problems. More everything, both good and bad, because "wherever you go, there you are". Like the song says, "they pave paradise and put up a parking lot.".

[@JustLikeHeaven77]

Go back to fkifornia

[@theredcorn8656]

The hill country used to be a place to escape the city now it’s overcrowded and getting taken over by San Antonio & Austin

[@ryanrendon-RealEstate]

This is true, some weekends more than others.

[@JustLikeHeaven77]

No, fukifornians

[@fifilafleur5555]

Also Californians & people from other far away states. I’m not a happy Texan.

[@lennyjonas5417]

Farming??? Not anymore, unless you are talking about all of the wineries. I remember when Fredericksburg was known for peaches. My family has been in this area since the 1870's but I'm considering somewhere farther out. Kerrville used to have a small town feel. Now no one knows their neighbors anymore because of all the B&Bs. Don't get me started on things like police corruption in the city of Kerrville or other things we prefer to keep out of the news. The newbies around here are in for a rude awakening if they think it's all hugs and smiles. Nope, it comes down to how deep your pockets are and what can be squeezed out of you.

[@safeandeffectivelol]

The same thing happened to my small town McKinney. Over 90% of the families moved out of the small subdivision. We're known as New California now.

[@ripperrex7883]

Whats going on with police corruption in Kerrville?

[@lennyjonas5417]

@@ripperrex7883 Maybe corruption is a strong word but let me give an example... KPD loves to catch people with those stupid vape devices that all the kids suck on these days. Many convenience stores in town sell them. The problem is that anything over a Delta 7 gets the holder charged with a felony possession. The courts love this due to the profits they reap. KPD gets an atta boy and goes back out to bust some more vape criminals while ruining many youths lives. The stores get a free pass to sell and sell again. Thats just ONE thing off the top of my head.

While 5 people leave, 105 people arrive. All the issues that this video shows are Global. The TX Hill Country is still a great area to live in, just to be clear. But let’s not turn it into California please ;-)

[@Cycology_Major]

It is already.

[@codetwohigh]

What’s wrong with ultra conservative Californians moving to these areas? I’m a military veteran and ultra conservative. Wouldn’t you want people like me instead of liberal shitbags??

[@JustLikeHeaven77]

Thank Richard Linklater, Robert Rodriguez and Chris Christopherson.

[@Calvillo19282]

This is all due to the politicians and the only concern for them is to make their bank account grow no fu… about the people

[@boblittle6849]

Hell, these are the same problems all over the nation. Hopefully, now that we have someone without dementia the country will get back to normal!

[@davidb9166]

And don't forget about the high property taxes which is a problem throughout Texas.

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

But we don't have state income tax.

[@hangarby10]

For me, it was the constant surge in property taxes from Hays County; I had a nice 3/2 in Wimberley but decided to relocate to North San Antonio (Hollywood Park), plus be a little closer to medical facilities, etc as I'm getting older. I loved Wimberley and the people - awesome place but just became NOT affordable. On the good side, there is a new Costco in nearby Kyle to offset rising food prices from HEB.

[@ryanrendon-RealEstate]

It really is shame, I love Wimberly! Beautiful town!

[@nrolled2888]

If you’re going to be a farmer you can’t worry about the weather.

[@Garybob-e9q]

Yep. Too many Neighbors. Development completes with Agriculture for Land Prices. They're wise to "Wagons East" toward Oklahoma or Arkansas/Missouri where it rains more in The Ozarks and Ouachita Mtns.

[@craigscott7315]

I see people moving into the Texas Hill Country for everyone moving out. Interest rates and inflation have affected people everywhere.

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

I grewing up camping at Enchanted Rock when my dad would rent the trailer from the rancher who owned it. Now Fredricksburg is like a mini Austin or Dallas. So to all of those non Texans who jacked up land prices, don't let the screen door hit you when you leave. Those who embrace Texas heritage and will protect our wilderness are welcome to stay.

[@fifilafleur5555]

I’m happy to see them go. As are most native Texans.

[@dwmcever]

Building million dollar homes all around our subdivision in North Travis County.

[@jna9664]

If you can AFFORD it, then the hill country is for you.

[@gardengatesopen]

No. That's exactly who SHOULD NOT move here!

[@katemurray3627]

Too damn many new people...ruined it.

[@kathleenmartin7498]

This is happening in mzny, many other areas of the US, not just Hill Country

[@davestockton5340]

didnt you guys deregulate your electric utilities a few years back? did your electric bill blow up?

[@herbrice8933]

Texans aren’t complaining. All the Commiefornians need to go to Chicago or New York.

[@georgiadancer8666]

Hell yeah! Go somewhere, anywhere but here!!! Go home or to hell, don't care. If you don't like it here, LEAVE. Us that were born here would be much happier also. Win win 🤠

[@turn-n-burn1421]

Nope. Why would I want to be anywhere near Austin?

[@markrouse2416]

Austin = Gridlock

[@turn-n-burn1421]

@@markrouse2416 I think regardless of how you're looking at it; you got my query backwards. Traffic or none; you couldn't pay me to live near Austin. Get me out in rural Texas, fine, where real people are.

[@gumecindogarcia1070]

The Hill Country is better than ever, Bandera and Real county, maybe Medina county

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

REAL county is real cheap thanks to border crisis.

[@mboren8777]

I live in Medina County by Castroville and Medina Lake, so many people are out here now there’s at least 2 accidents a day on our county roads due to people not knowing how to drive out here. We’re also running out of water, many of my neighbors wells have dried up. Our infrastructure is horrible and they keep building and building.

[@lg7014]

Who wants to live with Texans and wanna-be Texans?

[@davidzuniga6362]

Not you, thank God.

[@fifilafleur5555]

No wanna be types. Must have birth rights and family who has been here for generations. Better yet an ancestor on the monument at the Alamo.

[@sbcburgos2300]

Bro, how do you stay so pale under that Texas sun? Better put on that beard again!

[@jimthecraftyguitarist878]

You should move to California bro. I think you'll be much happier.

[@GuerthysGrowlers]

Yeah of course we need water in Texas asap, if we don’t get water soon then this mouth breather is likely to choke on his eyebrow dandruff.

[@markwolfshohl6562]

People aren’t leaving the Hill Country, genius

[@georgiadancer8666]

Us Hill country natives wish they would!

[@Big_munki]

Right? Sounds like the place is only improving (minus the obvious drught)

[@Beaconsea]

Leave

[@TheTexasDuke]

Good Grapes don’t grow in Texas

[@georgiadancer8666]

Can tell you aren't from here😂

[@georgiadancer8666]

I beg to differ. Never have watered mine that were planted 47yrs ago. Hill Country 7th generation native here. 😂🤠

[@vikm1341]

Texans get offended easily

[@dsoule4902]

@@georgiadancer8666.... jealous. Visited for a funeral... God's country. Couldn't have imagined the topography and why it's named hill country. It's beautiful.

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

France would not have a wine industry if they had not bought Texas wild grape root stock when a disease was destroying French vineyards. No Texas brag just a fact. Look it up.
