The entire article’s text is about development in the inner loop. There are multiple pictures as well.
But using the beltway which is 6x the area, the vast majority of development is still nowhere near a refinery, or on a 100 year flood plain.

Flooding is an issue but it isn’t existential for Austin/SA or DFW, and with the huge reforms in Austin recently a type of opt out style like the article is now there too that can compensate for sprawl. Worried about Corpus and RGV in the future though.
