[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=bearishgurl]I wonder how much longer new exurban TX “mcmansion subdivisions” will remain relatively cheap, now that the Chinese buyer is interested. Nearly all of them seem to be built around some kind of a manmade lake or pond, lol ….
There are a lot of good colleges in TX, as well and I’m sure that is attractive to the Chinese buyer.[/quote]
