I would not surprise if 20 years from now the border of Austin will also developing.

PJ, I"m surprised noboby responded to your March posting yet, but I'll do so.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
