Is not part of metro Houston. Yet.
Probably can go ahead and include Baytown and Mont Belvieu for sure and within 20 years, Anahuac and probably Winnie.
I have a duck/fish camp in Anahuac and honestly never thought I would see progress jump the Trinity River bottoms from Mont Belvieu leaving Anahuac alone, but sadly, it looks like we are being invaded.

I think in 150 years. San Antonio, Austin, Houston and DFW will be a mega plex.
You'll need a shite load of immigration because the worlds population starts shrinking in 50 years.

Not really a fair comparison. Although I agree that the Louisiana politics would frick it up even if the two were 30 miles part.

I enjoy the hell out of my "bubble" in the suburbs of Houston but the moment my little town gets annexed by Houston, it's over. Thankfully I will be long gone by the time that is able to happen.

Same boat here. The growth needs to go in a different direction before it ruins our bubble. It’s on the verge of being too much. Praying that it levels out.

What bubble are we talking? Lowest property taxes in Texas bubble?

fricking can't go shopping without animals following you home to rob you at your house.
START packing when doing any high-end shopping or going to the bank.

I live in South Austin on land that was a horse farm 20 years ago and now, they're building, another, new Mercedes-Benz dealer around the corner. It's growing like crazy

It's a fair comparison. There are a lot of metro areas in this country that have grown into each other at great distances.
Philly to New York is 90 miles
Austin to San Antonio is 80 miles
San Francisco to San Jose is 55 miles
That very close economic and social link between the two Louisiana metro areas are there. The metro areas actually butt right up against each other already. The river attracts a certain type of industry, and we already have households where one spouse commutes to the BR metro and the other spouse commutes to New Orleans.
What we need are more highway, rail, and flood protection infrastructure. That's where the state fails miserably. The two cities often work against each other when they should be working together. They see each other as political competitors rather than partners.

Mexiplex would be more appropriate for Houston.
