good call. certainly the rust belt fall of cle and stagnation of cinci dont support columbus as much as the general rising boat of texas does for austin. i could have put up an arguement back in the north dallas 40 era, aka the 70s, when austin wasnt anything like todays austin, but since then no, not by a long shot. so yeah there is a real good case here to say the austin boom is really the texas boom.
