The big difference is the commute to work is such a major factor for all of the outlying suburbs that they have to incentivize people to sacrifice the location.
Ask someone who works in Lafayette and lives in Milton or Youngsville how that commute works out for them. No difference really there as opposed to a Sugar Land commute to and from Houston for work.

Let's clarify a little. Houston burbs and Dallas burbs are cheap with good amenities. Don't move to Austin where I live because there are no more cheap houses. When I moved here it was just like Houston in that you got a ton for your money. It's not like that anymore. 300,000 to 450,000 gets you in a decent new construction in the suburbs now (and you have to deal with Austin traffic). When a 200,000 to 300,000 hits the market it sells within two to three days and you don't want to live in a below 200,000 house or neighborhood.
Feel like the Austin area is sitting on a big bubble, wish people would quit moving here.
