Austin:
- Big oil $$$$ from Houston and tech $$$$ from Dallas is #1 reason
- "Business-friendly" state
- Long a "tech" location (IBM, Tracor, Texas Instruments, Dell all between the 1970s and 1980s; Samsung and Apple in the 90s)
- Attractive location for young workers (college town... UT main there and TAMU nearby, indie vibe, liberal for Texas, cheap 20 years ago, natural surroundings)
