Book Reviews community became a model for the nation. By the early 1990s, however, the suburban area reflected a lamentable self-selected segregation. On the other hand, under the title of "Urban Excellence," McComb comments upon the arts districts in the cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston as well as the continued popularity of Austin with young Texans. He concludes by noting that cities attract the creative classes but that Texas politicians blame the state's cities for poverty, racism, and budget problems. McComb points out that the legislature should be held as responsible as the cities, if not more, for these problems, rather than being the source of criticism and accusations. Finally, as a result of the urbanization of Texas over the last twenty-five years, McComb claims that Texans are beginning to reject the over-the-top myth of Texas exceptionalism as a product of the frontier that created an independent go-to spirit that cannot be harnessed, especially by government.
