I guess Austin home values will rise to infinity and beyond.

That is amazing if it happens.
People are smarting up by building chip factories in the USA.

I just don’t understand the fascination with Austin for tech growth. Dallas makes so much more sense.
Austin is a congested homeless encampment without the roads for any more growth.

“Austin is a congested homeless encampment without the roads for any more growth.”
You got some points. We need more highways, but we get more bike lanes.
Homeless encampments have been going away since Prop B.
“On May 1, 2021, Austin voters approved Proposition B, making it a criminal offense (Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine) for anyone to sit, lie down, or camp in public areas and prohibiting solicitation of money or other things of value at specific hours and locations.”
I love Austin. My son is at UT. Been here 19 years.
I do live outside the city limits (extra-territorial jurisdiction its called). I don’t vote in Austin city elections, but I don’t have their crazy laws.

Moved away to Fort Worth 3 years ago. Was in Austin for 20 years; never looked back. I hear they’re going to do a major overhaul of 35, which I just can’t imagine. It’s already bumper to bumper 24 hours a day.
The traffic in Austin (and the culture shift to a mini-Portland) drive us away.
It was already a giant parking lot in 2019, I can’t imagine how bad it has become.
