You're right that $200K won't buy a house with a pool in most desirable parts of Texas, but your quip about $1M houses in Frisco is misleading. Frisco is not just a "random suburb nobody outside of Texas has heard of." It's a very desirable suburb on the fast-growing north side of the DFW Metroplex.

There are dozens of burbs just like Frisco, and that’s just DFW alone.
