NO DATA CENTERS IN SMTX
NO AI 🤖 on this PLANET. 🌎
San Marcos TX: 13,000 years of continuous habitation. Crystal-clear springs that flow year-round at 72 degrees. The longest-inhabited community in North America. Night skies that take your breath away. Rivers where generations of families have made memories.
**WHAT THEY’RE OFFERING:**
Data centers promise 20-40 jobs—that rarely go to locals. They demand BILLION-dollar taxpayer subsidies. They’ll drain our aquifer, pollute our water, and destroy what makes this place special.
**THE REAL ECONOMICS:**
Tourism generates $97 BILLION annually in Texas—and growing. Eco-tourism is exploding 10-30% per year. As everywhere else becomes urban sprawl, the Hill Country becomes PRICELESS.
Property values. Quality of life. Sustainable jobs. Clean water. All of it depends on preservation.
**THE CHOICE:**
Richard Florida’s research proves it: talent chooses PLACE over tax breaks. Creative workers move where there’s natural beauty, authentic culture, and quality of life.
That’s what we have. That’s our gold mine.
Some things are worth more than money. Some places are too precious to sacrifice.
The Texas Hill Country is one of them.
Show up. Speak up. Protect what makes us human.
🔥🔥Be an ancestor worth remembering.🔥🔥
