Default Future Austin Skyline

I normally don't post location specific things here, but this is too cool... Check out this flash graphic - and check out how much activity there is in downtown Austin.

No offense taken - I didn't design that. I wish I had, though!

Hey Eric Bramlett;

That is amazing that Austin is growing that fast...

a) How are they supporting that kind of local growth? What is bringing that many folks in....or is this a "build it and they will come" thing??

b) How is it to get around downtown with all that construction?

Eric

Eric Blackwell -

Here's something to scan through regarding the population growth in the area:
http://recenter.tamu.edu/mnews/mnsea...p?AID=3&TID=12

The local job market is extremely strong - technology didn't go out of style, and there are a ton of major corporations (Dell, IBM, Apple, Intel, NI, Samsung, etc....) that have huge presences here. Beyond that, there seem to be a huge # of independently wealthy people either moving here or buying second homes. The city government has really supported downtown's growth in an attempt to combat urban sprawl - the mayor has set a goal of 25k downtown residents (from 5k) by 2015.

The bottom line, though, is that these suckers are selling out fast during pre-construction!

Driving around downtown sucks! It's not as bad as you would think, but I try to avoid it at all costs between 7:30-9AM & 4-6:30PM.

Ah, see - I like the boat. I thought it was cute.


We have the Great Steamboat race every year for the Kentucky Derby in Louisville - so thats probably one of the reasons I liked it.
