No, actually, I was thinking of 1604 - I'm remembering the many drives to Sea World. It's exactly what the state legislature and developers would have liked 360 to turn into here in Austin (same terrain; very different development).

We've annexed just about all we can annex too - lots of previously unincorporated but developed crap has been brought within the city limits - but if you think there hasn't been any difference in the effect of policy in the two cities, you don't know much about the region. (Austin only got to keep about 1/3 of the land-use laws they tried to stick on our part of the Hill Country, so keep that in mind too - most of the other 2/3 was overridden by the state, then reinstated by the courts years later - in the meantime, lots of bad development happened, and the city has chosen not to make people tear down the stuff they built on the incorrect theory that most of them didn't know any better).
