But in this case this has nothing to do with the other big Texas cities. Do you see skyscrapers randomly placed throughout the city? Do you see Downtown surrounded by expressways on all sides? Austin is building unlike the other Texas cities so I don't see you or JACKinBeantown's point. What's wrong with getting projects like Waller Park Place going. A project that is within the CBD, not out somewhere in Austin or on the fringes? In this case, I think we have waited long enough for this project to get going. If it doesn't get going soon then it won't get going at all, but then maybe that's what you both want in the end. Keep Austin Weird circa 1985..
