A Forbes reaction

Forbes published an article on our beautiful city of San Marcos and its rapid growth. This isn't the first time we've been written about naming us as America's fastest growing city but wheres the article discussing how the families and citizens who live here feel about it? San Marcos sits perfectly between Austin and San Antonio with the quaint cities of New Braunfels, Wimberley, Buda and Kyle surrounding. It for sure gets my vote for one of the best places to live in Texas. Its got a small town feel but has the accessibility to get to Austin or San Antonio in an hour or less (unless you hit I35 at the wrong time). Coming from a small town this is what really drew me to San Marcos. It was a familiar size but had the larger cities nearby so I could dip my toes in the water before jumping in full force (unless were actually talking about our river). Its a unique place to live and get an education and this totally explains our attractiveness to those looking for a new place to live. However, how long will it be that we keep our quirky city before it turns into the next major city? I wasn't born and raised here, I've only been a couple of years and yet I feel extremely protective over San Marcos while we watch the university's incoming student numbers get higher and higher each year, the city limits expand and more businesses open up. We don't even really have the space for the people here now, we can't keep up with incoming amount of people wanting to live here. I mean who can blame them but wheres the fine line on keeping our quirky friendly town and just another metropolis? How do the people who were born and raised or those building a family here feel? Don't we get any say on this rapid growth?
