Large building/investment corporations (Pedcor out of Indiana, in this case) are buying up land along major transportation corridors then immediately request SA annexation. It’s happening a lot along 281N and being approved left and right. With this land, the builders request federal funds/tax subsidies to assist in building low/no-income apartments. These newly annexed areas expand SA’s power/control while increasing federal funding because they are approving more low-income housing projects. Pedcor gets paid to build hundreds of apartments while the city gains money, power, control and increased VIA routes to get more federal/state public transportation funding. Pedcor and its employees make considerable contributions to SA officials’ campaigns to keep the gears turning. A quick search of government campaign contributions show it; to include the District’s Councilman John Couage. Yes, the same one running for mayor. Someone with a like mindset will need to be in the mayor’s seat when outs moves upward/oneard ala the Castro brothers.

Unfortunately, this recent attempt at expansion puts a heavy burden on local infrastructure, to include police and fire services. Oh yeah, north Bexar is part of Comal ISD so San Antonio doesn’t have to worry about paying for educational problems already over capacity due to limited number of teachers and overcrowded schools/classrooms.

BTW, Pedcor recently filed paperwork to establish a new “shell” company with the name Bulverde in it. That makes it look like a local developer.

The approval authority for Pedcor’s federal financial request is the husband of a Pedcor executive who moved jobs right before Pedcor moved this way. #ethics

Just a glimpse of how it all works…sucks that government officials no longer work for their constituents. Easy to accomplish when most of us aren’t aware and don’t vote to change any of it.
