Well, it's a bit like nirvana compared to 1984, if you remember that. The city was in a real estate crisis, and you didn't have much of an industry here. I don't really think so. I think the adjustment that Austin is going through is not unlike what other cities have gone through. At its core, Austin is a wonderful place to live.
People love being here. . . .
It's going to attract new businesses, and I believe it's ultimately going to yield to this question of balancing growth and infrastructure and the environment that allows that to continue occurring. That's certainly my hope, and we're going to do everything we can to help that happen. All rights reserved. By using Austin360 you accept the terms of our visitor agreement .
