    Hutto is not exactly a "brand-new suburb"

    It is a small municipality that has been around since the late 19th century: http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/HH/hlh59.html. What IS new(ish) is the ridiculous, poorly-planned sprawl that swallows up towns and makes them attractive to newcomers with the cheap McMansions planted there by environmentally tone-deaf, unscrupulous developers like Bradley, turning little towns into unwitting suburbs. I look forward to seeing this movie.
