Ignoring that the city is susceptible to sinking like New Orleans, I'd say it'd be one of the more bragged about cities on this forum and a fine piece of urbanity.
well as long were talking about texas, im still waiting for the urban revival or corpus christi. that seems like a no brainer to me, but maybe its kind of remote for mass population gain. but its got a pretty setting and a diversified-ish economy. not sure what it would take to make things ramp up into high gear.
