In Texas especially, though...aren't some of these "move-in's" a response 
to the second-tier cities quadrupling their land area as well?   A old 
co-worker of mine used to live in Dallas; he mentioned that in the 1980's 
Dallas and Ft. Worth used to be an hour's drive apart...but by the time he 
moved up to Boston (2001) they are literally one long city along I-30.
