Anthropological note: Just as is the case elsewhere in the so - called Developing World -- where the merest handful of $$$ Rancheros Cocoleros $$$ are openly permitted to maintain a hereditary stranglehold on both politics and money flow -- Brackettville, Texas 78832, is likewise cursed by poorly - financed municipal infrastructure.

Having lived, worked, or merely visited other parts of the Third World, this is only too familiar.

Nevertheless, I personally believe we need to look at the big picture: we're lucky to have a lot of good and hardworking people struggling as hard as they can to get by, and yet always ready to help their less fortunate neighbors to do the same!

As in any other medieval - style gnostic fantasy enclave -- at any time in history! -- this real - deal component of Brackettville society is what eventually turns out to be the most sustainable society...

And has so proven itself to be throughout recorded history ...:)
