This development would enhance everything that is great about the riverfront, the hike and bike trail, the mix-used availability that enables *more* people to enjoy what Austin has to offer. I think Dcbrickley has a point - most folks I know who still live in the Austin area love the growth. They hate the traffic, but they love what is happening in Austin. Some of the older folks are opposed to it, of course, but I can understand that - all the more reason for compromise rather than one side having all the say (i.e., no development at all vs. go crazy and never look back). It doesn't have to be black or white. I'm all for this development, personally. I think it'll be great if they do it right.
