I was told TxDOT plans a new loop around the entirety of DFW.
Furthermore, the speaker said 1 out of 4 Texans will live within the loop in twenty-five years.
I need to move.

A wall would be better than a loop.

Where is the Wise county portion? Those new roads take up a lot of land.

They did build a big loop, The Grand Parkway, around Houston. At quitting time, it’s The Grand Parking Lot. You can drop some $ on that toll road. I am so glad I’m out of that metro area.
When Houston and Dallas finally get so big, they should meet in the middle at about my place. I’ll be rich…and dead, by then.

The work on the new 287 interchange and I-20 will be going on for a decade.

Texas will run out of water and electricity long before that happens. I don't know about the water though I think I agree. HOWEVER, you're wrong on electricity. You must not have heard about the Green New Deal! I mean that's pretty much saving Earth and societies as we speak. Isn't it? Isn't? Oh.

I would off myself before "living" in anything that resembles DFW. Life is too short. Especially if you "claim" to be an "outdoorsman" Trafficdoorsman is more like it.....

As if we didn't know that already. Now telling us what you told us, never realized so many would want yout to move there. Never seen someone relish in what they bleive is the misguided lifestyles of others, never. Schadenfreude it is.

Off hours traveling through there isn't terrible. I have a lot of Dr appt's in the hospital district, so I try to schedule them accordingly.

They need less roads not more. The less roads, the less people will move there. Turn them all back to dirt.

I’ve got a map of all of it in my files somewhere, we’ve got to do some of the demo mess and it’s going to piss off a lot of people eventually They always do but this one’s a massive project eating up lots of high dollar private property.

Wow, I wasn't thinking it would be that far outside the metromess. That has to be a $Trillion-dollar project.
