Honest question: Have you lived in Austin?
Because there's no way it's going to survive the influx of people it's seeing, in part because it faces the exact same urban development crisis that other cities are facing and making the exact same mistakes. For every person that points to Houston or Austin as being exemplary examples, I wonder if they have actually tried living there. This is before we even start talking about the dire nature of trying to walk anywhere in these cities.
- abernard1 7y agoHonest answer: I have lived in Austin for 10 years off-and-on (I had a startup where I had to drive 6 hours to a different State every 2 weeks for 3 years). I have lived there permanently for 7 years. I have also lived in Houston, 2 other cities in Texas (including Midland), 6 other states in the U.S., and was not born or raised in the United States. For the last 7 years, I have also worked for companies where the tech headquarters were either in NY or SF.
