Cresta Bella isn't very close to Camp Bullis. It is across the interstate from Camp Bullis! The Rim is much closer and much larger. The Army needs to get their problem situated as there are numerous developments that have already begun construction. It sounds like the city and Army should have begun working together about 40 years ago to prevent development around Camp Bullis. It is unnerving that they have waited until now to complain.
They should sell sections of the 40+ square miles of land (areas that border The Dominion, The Rim, and the huge area that borders Stone Oak) and use that money to purchase a new military training reservation (specifically for crucial night-time medical flight training). The remaining portion of Camp Bullis could still be used for numerous other operations. I'm not sure how close to the city they'd be able to put it, but this time they can plan it out and prevent development. Sure the development is sprawl, but at least it's the best sprawl in San Antonio. It isn't just strip-malls and parking lots.
