Given what appears to be a vast amount of unbuilt property north of 466A, what do you think the timeline for developing south of 466A and around Brownwood would be? It would seem that building Brownwood without having a critical mass of housing around it would not be wise. Yet, I don't see the ability to complete the areas north of 466A and then creep south to the Brownwood area in any near term to medium term scenario.

That leads to my other question: why would the developer put Brownwood on its far southern border? It would seem to make more sense to put it closer to 466A so that it could be surrounded by villages. Since I expect that houses close to a town square can be sold for a higher margin than those away from a town square, it would seem to be more profitable to keep Brownwood in the middle of things.

Perhaps there may be some truth to what I saw on TOTV awhile back - that the currently declared southern border of TV is really not the final southern border.
