I guess my point is or was that Austin is no Omaha. It never was and never will be, thank goodness.. Also, some folks found the old downtown Austin to be rather charming and easy to use. Parking was a snap, and going out at night was not a huge or particularly expensive project. I guess I prefer the new downtown, but it really isn't a place where I spend much time. I gaze upon it while passing through for the most part, but my life takes me to neighborhoods on the edge of downtown rather than to this new highrise downtown. That is probably true for most Austin residents.
