Ah, the SSC. I lived about 20 minutes from Waxahachie in the early 90s, cancelling the project messed up the local economy. My family’s house was suddenly worth way less than when we had bought it. We wound up moving away in 94 and had to pay the difference.
I think a lot about what the area would have been like if the SSC had been completed (and how bad the traffic might have been).
