Austin is incredible.

From all the skyscrapers going up and planned, including maybe 2 supertalls with ATX East Tower and Waller Creek. A brand new rail transit system with a subway, sleek trains, and glass panel security platform doors. An extension and additional line on the commuter rail system. The mega job growth. Major corporate HQ relos like TikTok, etc. Prized economic developments from Apple, Tesla, Army Futures Command, all three of which looked at the entire country and maybe the entire continent to expand to before all of them selected Austin. Austin either THE LEADER or among the leaders in the US for GDP growth, total personal income growth, population growth, job growth, airport traffic growth, office space construction, apartment construction, single family home construction, foreign investment, etc. It’s one of the top 10 cities in the world for semi-conductors, video game development, digital animation, artificial intelligence and machine learning, programming, software development, tech hardware manufacturing, and in the top 15 for VC funding into startups in the world. Has one of the best universities in the world and is one of the most educated cities in the world. Has one of the youngest populations in the US. Has a renown music and art scene and a vaunted food scene. Only place in the US for F1 and MotoGP and is now attracting pro sports in MLS and soon will attract the attention of MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, etc the bigger and richer the metro area becomes. And now it’s attracting billionaires at a breakneck speed.

There’s never a dull moment in Austin.
