True but houses are considerably easier to build down there as they don't have thing thing called cold.... I don't believe they have basements (at least in Sugarland outside of Houston) which is a big part of the construction costs here. Finally, factor in the cheap Mexican labour in the area = ridiculously large houses for seemingly cheap prices.
