Description ▲
More than the historical profile of one city, this well-illustrated book documents the successful struggle of a new suburb through a bitter incorporation war with the adjacent metropolis and then its survival through the use of revenue from traffic fines, a strategy told, uniquely, from the suburb's point of view. Also analyzed is the growth of Balcones Heights as one of the most densely populated cities in Texas and the bonanza of sales tax revenues which brought not only municipal affluence but also the problems and challenges of cities many times its size.
