Relative to SF it's been smooth. MoPac's kinda an enigma and I'm not sure there's a good solution there. Either exercise eminent domain or watch the traffic take control of the city. What I meant is that Austin has become a City rather than a city, all while keeping an amazing cultural scene, a few "ethnic neighborhoods" (sorry but it gets the point across), international influences, etc. In my opinion it's been a smashing success so far. One thing we have in common with SF is people getting priced out of downtown. I don't know why anyone's surprised, honestly. That's kinda what happens everywhere. SF has its Google transports and $8 coffee shops; we have our condominiums all along the lake. But minimum_wage's (and everyone else's according to the votes) refusal to acknowledge that these things are linked to very specific and obvious economic benefits is baffling to me.
