Getting between San Antonio is currently a poor experience that really holds back that idea to me. I35 is absolutely no fun during peak usage and requires car ownership. The train is insanely cheap but too slow and leaves once per day at extremely early / late times between the cities. Nicer busses like the Vonlane don’t run between the cities.
High speed rails would absolutely transform the paradigm overnight. It would solve a lot of affordability issues in Austin while introducing more money into the SA economy. As it currently stands, SA has virtually no tech scene (relative to other major cities), is too sprawled out, and too much effort for people to want to commute between regularly in my opinion. It’s a hard sale for younger developers. There’s a lot of potential though!
