Again, if you recall, only one article from 1998 has ever suggested a number that means there are more people living downtown in SA. When and where are 25,000 residents projected? If you look at the only relatively unbiased piece of data, it shows that Austin has more people living in its downtown zip code than SA does. Either way, which city has a dozen or more downtown apartment buildings being constructed? Not San Antonio.
And, yes, Austin is different in planning its infrastructure - it has a commuter rail line being constructed. San Antonio does not have a commuter rail line being constructed.

I will give Austin the light rail edge, but I'm sure it will be on San Antonio's ballot again.Austin needs more to compensate it's transportation problems than San Antonio's.Austin has no adequate freeway system compared to San Antonio's.As far as new housing projects downtown, San Antonio has it's share,many new projects are renovated historic buildings.
