How Austin Became One of the Least Affordable Cities in America

It’s an incredibly shitty, poorly researched article. It conflates the city and the whole metro continually, and lists IBM as both a recent arrival and a long time fixture (on subsequent paragraphs).
It finally, paragraphs in, reaches the “how” ( that Austin can’t build enough housing) but then never investigates why.
